Courses › Listening for detail
Almost nobody loses marks in Listening because the recording was too hard for their English. They lose them because the answer arrived while they were still writing the last one, or because it was said in a way they had decided it would not be.
This is a short course about attention rather than vocabulary. It ends with a practice plan you can actually keep to.
