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.
