I completely agree. I'd never imagine myself dissecting a Spanish or French film in segments. My comment was intended to explain the OP's original experience. If you're language level is at B1 or greater, you should be able to follow a film without much difficulty. However, I may pause and replay a section if I missed an idiom, phrase or colloquial expression . 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It certainly does. I listen intensively for the sounds and the melody, but mostly not for the meaning. If I do listen for the meaning then I mostly listen extensively because there can't be much meaning in the short segments I use for intensive listening. So extensive listening will for me only be meaningful when I more or less know all the vocabulary and the necessary syntax beforehand, which in practice will mean that it happens after I have learnt to read the language in question. For others who learn from teachers and simple conversations extensive listening will of course happen earlier, and there will be a stronger active element, but on a narrower lexical base. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

@montmorency Yes, I am referring to this series. I am completely aware that they speak in
a specialized way. Now I am listening TED podcasts and it doesn't influence wrong on my listening comprehension. I found that there is one more advantage in a short segment listening. With this method you are able, at the end, to understand almost everything. This fact can give you a strong motivation to continue your work. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As I said, there is no argument over extensive vs intensive lisening. Some people do one or the other. I actually do
both. As @iversen has so well put it, intensive listening is good for the phonology particiularly. I totally agree. and I would include grammar and vocabulary as well for repetitive practice. 1 person has voted this message useful |
