KET Listening Practice

Hi Everybody!

I know that if you are not an English teacher, one of the most difficult things is to find in the internet a place to practice and develop our listening skills.

In this website you can find plenty of exercises classified for your level. In examenenglish.com you will have real Cambridge exam-like exercises and if you have a problem with a specific word or phrase, you can always see the transcript, this way you can read while you are listening. This is especially useful for those who are in the beginning of their process learning to listen; at the same time, pronunciation would be modelled for native speaker.

I hope you enjoy and learn at the same time

Have a nice one!

T. David M. H. A.
