Just in case it wsn't already mentioned, when transcribing, practice to try to listen and
remember as much of whole phrases as possible before writing it down, rather than
splitting it into easier chunks.

I totally forgot to mention that. Though in my case it just develops naturally as I dislinke having to stop the audio file all the time, so I make a game of trying to remember as much at once as possible.
But when I start out transcribing in a new language, I often have trouble even recognizing words I should know, and then I often have to pause after three or four syllables to write down whatever I think might I have heard.

I have recently got interested in reading about ADD, as apparently there seems to be a
link to poor auditive memory. Are you a bit disorganised about stuff generally?

I'm somewhere in the middle between organised and messy. I find that if things are organised I can think a little clearer
and I actually feel a bit more intelligent. However, it takes quite an effort to do it, and I seem to always get to the
point where I'm about 90% there, but there is always a "messy pile" somewhere.

Same with the language learning, I find that I do better the more organised I am, and for me that means lots of
writing, but of course I can never get 100% there.
