Listening to the radio in Chinese is also a great way to improve your Chinese. It’s great for your listening, also for your speaking. Those two skills really complement each other well, but here is how to make the most out of listening to the radio, have it playing in the background when you are talking, when you are at the gym, when you are not really focusing on the radio itself. You shouldn’t be trying to understand a hundred percent of the conversation, that won’t work, and that’s fine if you don’t understand everything. The focus shouldn’t be on what they are saying on the radio, focus should be on how they are saying it, think about their style of speech, the intonation, how Chinese people pronounce the words and their tones.
There are many ways to learn Chinese. No matter which language you study, the most important thing is to practice. The Chinese you learn in the classroom is only the tip of the iceberg, and only when you actually use them in your daily life, you will know if you are using it correctly or not.
