Improve your listening with the story "A Hair On My Plate". In this story, Pedro goes to a restaurant and finds a hair on his plate. He speaks to an employee and to the manager, but they won't give him another plate. Pedro keeps trying to get some kind of compensation, until finally he receives it.
This story was carefully written using only words from the Spanish Input list. This list contains the 5,000 most common words in spoken Spanish. This story is free of useless words.
This video was designed to help you improve your listening in Spanish. The recording of the story is clear but natural, using a neutral accent. The captions were manually typed and manually syncrhronized to the video.
The Transcription Technique is a super effective way to work on your listening. The core idea is: First listen without any text, and type what you hear. After you've transcribed a few lines, go back and listen again with subtitles on. Mark all your mistakes on your transcript. This is by far the best language learning exercise I know. It helps you improve your listening, speaking, writing, grammar, vocabulary, etc.
You can do Transcription exercises with pen and paper, or with a document on your computer. But the most straightforward way are the ear-training Anki flashcards I'm creating. You can find the flashcards for this story here. The deck is just $5:
