Learning Guide
  • Listen first. Play the audio and see how much you can understand - the main ideas, and familiar words and phrases.
  • Read with curiosity. Read through the text slowly. When a word is unfamiliar, guess the meaning first, before clicking the word to check the English.
  • Check your understanding. Take the comprehension quiz and test your understanding.
  • Lock in the vocabulary. Use the flashcards to recall useful, key words - say the answer out loud before you flip.
  • Mirror (optional). Play the audio again and read the text aloud, matching the speaker’s articulation as closely as possible.
