Madgav, what helped me a lot was buying a (second-hand in my case) airband scanner and simply spending hours and hours listening to all the frequencies that were in use by Schiphol airport.
You'll be getting used to the pace and phraseology very fast and after a while will be able to hear mistakes in readbacks even before hearing the controller correct them.
Especially since it sounds like you're not going to get a lot of exposure to talking to proper ATC (vs. FISO or A/G) in the course of your training due to your location.
The scanner cost me 40 euros at that time although in hindsight I should have invested in a proper transceiver instead.
