Hi everyone,
Here's a website recommendation.
If you click on the top right hand menu, you can read a bit about me, my teaching experience, studies, etc. If you continue scrolling down, at the very end there's a list of different useful websites you can use to practise different skills and languages.
So here's one of the first sites I recommend my students: https://lyricstraining.com/
There's also an app you can download.
When you go to the website, they give you the option of creating an account, but there's no need to do it if you don't want to.
The good thing about this website is that you can practise your listening while you listen to music.
They use music videos and you can read the lyrics as they are sung. The number of missing words depend on the level you choose.
The song will stop until you write the correct missing word. You can always replay the last line of the song if you didn't get the missing word. The dots show you the number of letters the missing word has, so it helps you guess. If you try to type in an incorrect letter, it won't let you do it.
There are different genres, so you can choose different ones depending on your taste. Some genres tend to be easier than others to understand though, that's why it might be a good idea to choose also depending on your language ability.
Something I have just found out is that you can practise a variety of languages, as you can choose between several languages available.
This is a great way to practise your listening skills, as well as the spelling of words. It also gives you a great opportunity to spot new vocabulary, try to understand it in context, check it out in the dictionary, note it down and try to include it in your everyday language.
Enjoy using the website/app!
