本を持っています。でも、私は本を聞くしたかった。
Audiobooks are proving to be an amazing immersion tool. Just turn it on and "hear" it. No need to "listen", no need to even try. Just have it playing in the background while you do housework, cook, ride in the car, go for a jog. Basically have it playing all the time unless you're doing something else in Japanese that requires you to listen, like watching a TV show, movie, or anime.
I would also suggest an iPod for this, making your Japanese more mobile.
Are you in school? Listen during lunch or between classes. Pretty much anytime you can be listening to Japanese, you will be learning Japanese.
Why listen? Listening comprehension is a major priority for any language. Children learn their language entirely by listening and having things put into context for them, either through questions or by being shown an item and having the word for that item being repeated over and over until it sinks in.
We don't have this luxury. We don't have a Japanese mama (お母さん)watching over us and pointing at things. We have to be our own mothers and find out for ourselves. The best method for this is through movies and television shows. Combine the two and you're a learning machine!
