Rule No 3
Listen to easy German, everyday
Listening to easy German every day for 20 minutes will benefit you more than reading 1000 German grammar books.
But there’s a catch…
You don’t just listen to any German.
You need to listen to easy German!
Or at least, German that you can understand.
Just listening to German podcasts or watching movies won’t help much.
You need to listen to something that you understand (at least 90% of it).
Now you have the opportunity to listen to some German.
Have lots of fun with it.
Do this:
- Read and check the translation
- Then listen many times.
- Repeat after the speaker.
- Make sure that you imitate the pronunciation of the speaker.
- Pay particular attention to the different word order in German and English
