Develop Listening Comprehension Through Music
A really great way to improve your listening comprehension skills is by listening to Spanish music. The goal, however, is to be able to listen to it and write out the song lyrics in Spanish. This may take some time, and you may become frustrated as you listen to the same part a million times over and still can’t distinguish the word. But keep at it. Start with slower songs, songs in which the pronunciation is much clearer and where it is easier to distinguish the words.
This Spanish listening comprehension drill will really help you improve your listening abilities, especially when it comes to speaking with native Spanish speakers.
Good luck and please let me know if this helps!

I’ve heard that writing down song lyrics helps too. A friend of mine is learning German in that manner. We used exercises with music in my German 102 class as well. It made it more accessible. I’m going to try now with some spanish songs. Thanks for the tip!

Great, I’m glad to hear this method helped you! Wow, so you’re learning German and Spanish - that’s great. Das ist gut! Es bueno! A friend of mine learned English applying this method with songs from the Beatles. =)
