Dictations for Learning English

Dictations are useful because listening to a dictation helps you find words that are difficult for you. After listening several times, those difficult words will become easy! Dictations are fun so you can repeat many times until you speak English perfectly!

Stage 1: Short Dictations - for beginning speakers of English or for review When practicing these dictations, try to be as precise as possible. If you can only get four words, that's not bad - it's 80%! After you type in five words, click on the "Get Score" button to see your result, then click on the "See Answer" button to see the correct answer. Have fun!
Five Words - 1 Five Words - 2 Five Words - 3	Six Words - 1 Six Words - 2 Six Words - 3	Seven Words - 1 Seven Words - 2 Seven Words - 3

Stage 2: Medium-length Dictations - more challenging English sentences Type eight words for each dictation, even if you are not sure about every word. If you can get 6 out of 8, that's 75% which is quite good!
Eight Words - 1 Eight Words - 2 Eight Words - 3	Nine Words - 1 Nine Words - 2 Nine Words - 3	Ten Words - 1 Ten Words - 2 Ten Words - 3

Stage 3: Long Dictations - for advanced speakers of English! These are VERY challenging - even my very best students rarely get 100%. Just do your best and learn from the experience...
