Understanding spoken English isn’t just about knowing words—it starts with being able to actually hear them in speech. Some English sounds might not exist in your native language, so at first, they can be hard to recognise. You might think you heard one word when it was actually another. This can make listening frustrating.
This free English listening test will help with practising listening to some problematic English sounds. Instead of isolated words, you’ll hear sentences where two similar-sounding words could fit. Your task is to catch the right one.
This is the foundation of good listening skills. The better your ear becomes at picking up these details, the easier it will be to understand real English spoken at a natural speed.
Give it a try and see how well you can hear the difference.
