First I could understand fragments and try to fill in the rest, then I could figure out whole sentences (though sometimes not strictly in real-time), but only if I knew the topic. Finally I progressed to being able to pick up conversations in mid-course, and pretty much understanding everything that was being said to me.<BR/><BR/>I think you know the three keys to success already: practice, practice, and practice. Listening to things while you're reading the transcript, and then listening to them without the transcript, and then listening to them some more, should help. <BR/><BR/>I don't really remember when Chinese went from being a blur of sounds to being a series of words that I understood, but I know that it took a lot of practice.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, no shortcuts :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
