What I find very useful is to paraphrase back to someone what I think they are telling me, in my own words. This shows I've been listening, it gives me the chance to see if I've understood correctly, and the other person can correct any misunderstandings.

Obviously this is something that would summarise a section of conversation, not something to do after every sentence.
Feel free to send me a private message.
