Duolingo Dictation - Practice

3 minutes

One of the modules that feature in the Duolingo exam is dictation. You will hear sentences, and you need to write down exactly what you hear, paying particular attention to spelling. This is a challenging section because the sentences you will hear are set at a near-native speed. Dictation is an excellent way to improve your listening skills.

Listen carefully to the following sentences and write down exactly what you hear; answers are provided to check your answers.
