TCF Canada dictation practice
Transcribe real listening passages sentence by sentence; spelling and missed words are checked automatically, with levels from A1 to C2. Dictation is the most direct way to turn "I get the gist" into "I hear every word", especially for liaison and reduced forms.
Free sentences are open to everyone. Log in to unlock all 217 sentences and save your progress and missed words.
You usually lose listening points not because you missed the audio, but because you can’t hold on to the key sentence that decides the answer: once the audio ends, the sentence slips away and you end up guessing when you read the options.
Dictating the key sentences of real exam questions until every word is right is the most effective way to train sentence memory: once you can hear it clearly and write it out, it stays with you.
On exam day, as long as the key sentence is still in your ear, the right answer follows. Words you miss or misspell go to your word list automatically for review.
