Yamada-san, I heard you passed the JLPT N2 in last month's exam! Balancing work and study must have been difficult.

Thank you. But even though I passed the exam, I still don't have confidence in actual conversation.

I mainly memorized vocabulary and grammar using textbooks, but recently I've been trying to listen to the news to develop my listening skills as well.

The news? Depending on the content, don't quite difficult words appear?

I thought so at first, but while listening every day, unique expressions gradually become second nature.

I see. While I'm studying independently at home, on the other hand, I haven't seen any visible results and was worrying about it... Maybe I'll try to emulate listening to the news.

Also, for pronunciation practice, I recommend "shadowing". You speak out what you heard immediately to imitate it.

Yes. However, starting with fast native conversations can make you easily give up, so the trick is to use materials with a speed that matches your level.
