Listened to my italki partner in China. I couldn't say much except ask a few questions as it was too high level but I was happy that I understood the main gist of what he said about new year; matchmaking corners in parks; customer relations in business.

Chinese Class 101 listening video on youtube. Answer questions about pictures + dialogue. It was quite difficult as not much time given and there were many concepts for each set of pictures. I had to do the quizzes several times each. Good practice for everday situations.

Listened to story and explanation on Learning Chinese Through Stories. http://www.learningchinesethroughstories.com/ It's the best site for listening many times before reading the text. My listening has improved a lot using this site.

Fluentu: video and quiz. Good learning resource for phrases and sentences but not the best for listening as I rely too much on reading the text.
