A good technique I have found is to install the FREE Chrome extension VIDEO SPEED CONTROLLER, you can increase the speed of a video (youtube...) and see if you still understand. Beginners can decrease the speed of the video.

In English, I've found that it is still very understandable at a 1,75 speed.

    As an alternative, if you're looking to learn to "hear" English better, pick a native speaker from Chicago or New York City... you'll have all the Speed Listening practice you could ever hope for, heh heh.

    I used the same technique with VLC PRO. It's very important for beginners because it helps to slow down since they cannot understand casual and natural conversations yet. Advanced students can speed up the track and check how well they're doing with their listening skills. Professionals such as translators use the same technique to check how much information they can grasp for a certain amount of time and then assess their capacity to translate fast speakers.
