1. ToLearnEnglish<\/a>\"tolearnenglish.com<\/h2>\n

This is a good online dictation resource for\u00a0beginners<\/strong>. You’ll listen to an audio clip or watch a short video, then\u00a0complete dictation tasks below.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you’ll have part of the text and will need to fill in the gaps with correct words. Other times you’ll need to type out everything you hear.<\/p>\n

2. Agenda Web<\/a>\"agenda<\/h2>\n

On this site, there are four levels with different English dictation exercises.<\/p>\n

On the first level, you’ll either dictate single sentences or\u00a0fill in the blanks of a text after listening to the audio.<\/p>\n

On the second level you have the same type of dictation exercises, but they’re a little longer. You’ll also get the option to slow down the audio on some of them, to help you really hear what’s being said.<\/p>\n

The third level has the same tasks as the previous level, except for the fact that the sentences might be longer and there\u2019s no slow audio option. The fourth level offers medium and long dictations.<\/p>\n

All these activities train listening comprehension of English and help you pay more attention to spelling and punctuation.<\/p>\n
