About Listening & Dictation Tests
German listening exercises help you train your ear to understand spoken German at different speeds and in different contexts.
- Comprehension tests: Listen to the audio and answer questions about what you heard. Understanding the general meaning is more important than catching every word.
- Dictation tests: Listen carefully and write down exactly what you hear, word for word. This trains your ear for detail and spelling.
All audio exercises include a full transcription so you can compare your answers and learn from your mistakes.
