Dictations online

A good way to practise listening comprehension is with dictations, especially if you have to try to recognise a specific word.

There is a website where you can try this:

Listen and Write

First you have to sign up (if you don't feel very happy about this, don't give your real name or your main email address. It's a good idea to have an alternative one for these internet things) and you'll have to log in every time with the same user name and password.

There are many different types of exercises for you, but I suggest that you go to level 20 and try the 'blank mode' dictations, which are not so very different to some listenings we do in class.

I hope it proves useful.
