Listen a lot, yes, so that you can learn how to separate words properly and that way you can use a dictionary as long as you've got the basic sound. (Eg of a problem: Thinking particles are parts of words and thus mixing sentence up). Lots of common structures are re-used imo in the practices our school gets, so get really familiar with them all, if there's one you do hear in a practice and don't know, then learn it. Same with all vocab, but if you don't have much time you might want to skip learning the the whole syllabus prescription and memorise things like extended family members, jobs, places, conjunctions and such common words.
