What types of english dictation practice are available?

Do I need an account to practice?

How are the exercises organized?

Exercises are organized into arcs — short, focused practice sessions of 5 to 12 exercises each. Arcs are grouped by difficulty tier from Foundation (easiest) to Academic (most challenging). You can filter by tier using the buttons above the exercise list.

Which mode should I use — read, repeat, or type?

Read aloud is best for pronunciation clarity and speaking confidence. Repeat audio is best for listening rhythm, intonation, and shadowing fluency. Type what you hear is best for dictation precision, spelling accuracy, and listening detail. You can try all three modes for any arc.
