I listened to some old mp3 files from my old text book : 汉语口语速成 - 中级篇。1 chapter was around 10 minutes. It went smoothly. ^^;
23 minutes 0.38h
For the first time, I tried listening to 锵锵三人行. It lasted 23 minutes, and I didn't understand a thing! This is definitely advanced material, and it proves that my level is intermediate. However, I will still try listening to it once or twice more.
15 minutes 0.25h
3 episodes of Slow Chinese. I wasn't able to understand Jay Zhou's rap performance. (maybe a word or two)
20 minutes 0.33h
listened to mp3 files from an old text book mentioned above. I studied this book a long time ago, and everything is so new. Yet, I understood most of it.
60 minutes 1.0h
I watched 3 episodes of 锵锵三人行. This time I was able to hear more ; perhaps because I had a little more background information, or I carefully selected the episodes that reflect my interest.
28 minutes 0.47h
3 chapters of mp3 files from an old Chinese textbook (汉语口语速成)

4 episodes of Slow Chinese. I especially found 'getting a job in China' interesting. Easy to understand thanks to its 'slowness'.
10 minutes 0.17h
I listened for a short while . Mostly commercials and music program which played 2 songs. There was also some kind of comic conversation about alcohol. However, it was hard and I got tired so I stopped listening after 10 minutes. Maybe I'll try to listen more some other time. (right now, it's 5:42 am)
20 minutes 0.33h
1 episode of 锵锵三人行. I chose an unfamiliar subject. I think it was about art and music (rock and roll) in general.
