So the moral of the story is that you need to master German listening skills as well. Now the next important thing is to know how to master it. So here I present tips that you can use to master your German listening skills.

  Immerse yourself in listening to German: I am sure you listen to many audios/podcasts in the German language. You have to do that since you are learning the language. That is not enough. You have to listen to it every time. Whether you are traveling or sitting with your mobile make sure it has something to do with German.

• Be a good listener:  listening just not means hearing. You need to learn while you are listening. Pay attention to new words and the way a sentence is spoken. Keeping this in mind will help you be a good listener.
• Take a tour: though this tip isn’t suitable for everyone, those who can follow it. Being in a place where people speak German immensely will help you boost your listening skills. There is a different accent that German people have. Being able to understand that is a real challenge. You will of course have to put in more effort. Prepare yourself well by listening to podcasts from native German speakers.

Shadowing:  Shadowing is the key to improve listening. To use this tip you should first know what is shadowing. Shadowing means repeating what you hear. In order to improve your listening skills in German, you will have to listen to a lot of German speakers. Since you will not understand everything you will have to slow down your speed and repeat whatever they say. If you are facing more problems while doing this you can watch something with German subtitles so that you can see what is being spoken and repeat it.
