I've really enjoyed Duolingo and I think it generally does a decent job exposing you to vocabulary words and grammar, but one thing I've found problematic is that, with recent updates, there is so much repetition I feel like I'm just memorizing what certain sentences and phrases look like as opposed to "hearing" and understanding them. This has made me further realize that, while I can generally read the language I am learning, I am abysmal at going from spoken word to understanding. Does anyone have some good tips on how to get more exposure to spoken word in the language you are learning or otherwise supplementing your Duolingo experience?

try to find podcasts aimed at kids in the language you're learning. News podcasts are also helpful, because even though the vocabulary may be a bit tough, you know what the tooic is and they stay on point.
