Other than just practise, practise, practise, try and work on your pronunciation. This actually really helps with the listening.
I found when I was learning french, I had a very english accent so I could only really talk to and understand english people that were speaking french rather than french people talking french. After improving my speaking, my listening improved also. If you know what the words should sound like, listening should come more natural to you.
Also, try and look out for keywords, rather than understanding everthing.
Good luck!
