Watch videos and improve your English listening skills

Watch natural and authentic conversations in English in this video app. Each video features:
• an audioscript so you can read along while you listen
• a glossary to help you learn and remember words
• comprehension questions to check your understanding
• a pitch control to slow down the audio.

When learning English, practice makes perfect. We recommend you use this app several times a week to keep practising. There are several ways to to help maximise your progress:
• Watch the videos and follow along with the audioscript as you listen. The audioscript supports your listening and helps you hear words you may not necessarily recognise just by listening. Check any words you don’t know using the built-in glossary.
• Read the audioscript in full screen and listen to the audio only without watching the video. This really helps you focus on listening.
• Watch the videos in landscape mode without reading the audioscript – this is the hardest way! Test your listening and see how much of the video you can understand.
