Put all your concentration into listening to the first sentance. Let your mind wander but try to focus back on the converstaion whenever possible. Use eye contact on and off, but don't death stare them.
You will make mistakes, just apologize and keep trying. Like anything you need to build up the habit of being a good listener.
A great way to practice is to find old people, they love to talk. They have all kinds of stories and usually wont be offended if you make any listening mistakes, they just enjoy the company. Try to listen and write down their stories aftwards to test yourself.
