Hi, I think the fast and effecitve way to good at listening is fix your pronounciation. IF you dont have a good pronounciation, it 'll so difficul to listen.

When you have a accurate pronociation, your work just is listen english as much as possible. Of course you should begin with something easy.

Good luck for you.
