The listening skill

listening 2
Listening is a receptive skill. This means that listening is a process in which you do not produce but receive, deal with and understand a language. Listening is an important skill in our daily life, especially when we talk to someone. We have to understand the person we talk to in order to have a satisfying conversation.
 
You can practise your listening skills by listening carefully to and extracting information from a text. Then consider the content of what you have just heard. We provide a lot of opportunities to train your listening comprehension.
 

The story of the language course

Listen to the story of the Fernandez family. The audio book is divided into several chapters. There are exercises that test your listening comprehension and enable you to use both grammar and vocabulary. You may also read the story while listening to it.
