LISTENING TEST. EASIER LEVEL. B1 (PET)

If you are struggling with B2-level listenings, try these easier exercises at home (B1 level). 

But, keep in mind that these are just  reinforcement activities. The level of the exam will be harder (B2).



More listening practice! B2 level (FCE)

More listening exercises for you! 

I'll know the identity of those of you who will take the time to test their listening skills at home.

Do you want to know why?

They won't have this face. 

And they'll succeed in exams. PERIOD.
