Tip: For classroom use, open links in new tabs and project the transcript while students listen. Encourage shadowing (repeat after the audio) and 3–2–1 listening (three listens with different goals).
Study Routine
Do 10–15 minutes daily. First listen without reading, then listen again with the transcript, and finally take the quiz.
Teacher Idea
Use pair checks after each audio: students compare answers before whole‑class feedback. Works great for A1 confidence.
Mobile‑Friendly
All links open in new tabs. Most pages work well on phones—perfect for homework or bus rides.
