So this is another installment in our audio blog series for advanced learners. How do you use these audio blogs? Do you just listen to them once? Compare with the text? Write down new words and expressions? Do some exercise with it, e. g. to train yourself in translation?

I listen to the podcast at least once, and more than that if I don’t understand. After that ( usually a few hours later, as I listen on the go), I read the text in the PDF, check the translation for things I am unsure of, read through the grammar section if there is one, and input the vocabulary in my flashcards software ( I use iflash on Mac, it works much the same as Anki…)

I wish I had time to use the quizzes in the learning center… Maybe if you guys made an Iphone-friendly learning center I would do it on the go too …
