Activity listening is a key thing when it comes to improving listening. This involves paying complete attention to what you are listening to. And many will say that it is something obvious.

Taking notes about what you hear:

Often, taking notes while listening is of the utmost importance. Write down words or phrases that you don't understand and look for them later. This will help you expand your vocabulary in addition to your writing. You will see that you will be able to better understand certain conversations more calmly.
