This is a bit tongue in cheek because I don’t believe in passive language learning (effort is required!) but I have found myself listening to more and more Italian and being able to follow along without difficulty.

Previously I felt like a very focused “active listening” was required or I would find myself listening to a detuned radio, only picking up the odd words here or there. But now… after having set a goal to listen to something every day, my listening has improved where I can get about 90% and can understand the gist, with a fairly fluent read of the text.
