In Listening Corner, you get instant feedback, word by word. You will know immediately if you have heard correctly, or if you made a mistake and need to listen again (or check your spelling!).
The exercises have been designed to encourage you to experiment, to keep listening and trying until you correctly understand the words you have heard. Doing this will help you to improve your listening quickly and easily.
