These shows can be either native-made and originally in your TL, or dubbed into your TL like with another strategy I like to do, and I do... Source: almost 2 years ago

Don't be discouraged! Speaking and listening are some of the hardest parts of language learning. I work on my listening by doing transcription exercises. I listen to some korean media and pause regularly (every sentence or two) and write it down in Korean. I then look up the transcription and then correct mistakes.
