Bad. I’m trying to improve my speech understanding. Movies/news are too hard for me yet. But cartoons are mostly ok already. And there aren’t any interesting cartoons around. Maybe I’m a little picky but still…
There’s a big gulf where basic exercises seem too simple, and real, spoken language seems unbearably fast and difficult.
Good luck! I’m confident that it will improve over time if we keep engaging with the target language every day. But I don’t expect any results to be quick.
Try music. My brain seems to click better with words when they are sung. Once I learn the lyrics and what they mean, singing along helps me program them into my brain much better than reading or watching movies/TV.
