Hello my dear. I'm gonna share my experience with you but I aam not sure if it works for everyon .
You can listen to music which are slow or understandable like Chalie Puth or Johnny Huyn . Once listen without looking at lyrics and at the end try to remembe what you have learned and then listen more times with looking at lyric. The scond advice is , not trying to translate word by word whatever you hear ujst try to understand whole meaning of that and key parts. If you translateword by word in your brain you cannot focus on essential parts.
A large part of listening skills depends on vocabulary. So try to improve it day by day. Personally, I started with short English stories when I was 4 or 5 years old, then I started listening to English songs from about 7 years old. Along with this, I listened to English children's programs. I feel that all of this is effective no matter what age you start. But since I was about 14 years old, what I still do is download English songs and listen to them with headphones (with good quality sound). Along with that, I try to write the lyrics and then match them with the original lyrics to see if I wrote them accurately. I also listen to a lot of English YouTube videos.
