Is EnglishDictations free?
Yes. All dictations and the level test are free, and you can start practicing without an account. A free account is optional: it saves your results and your tested level, and your daily dictation then matches your level.
How does daily dictation practice improve my English listening skills?
Dictation connects what you hear with how it is written. When you listen to natural English and type every word, you find your blind spots right away: weak forms, silent letters, linked words and fast contractions that slip past you when you only listen.
How does a dictation work?
Each lesson is a short English text split into sentences. Play a sentence, replay it as often as you need, type what you heard and send it. When you finish, you see your accuracy and every mistake, with a short note on why it was easy to miss.
How do I know which CEFR level to start with?
Lessons are grouped into A1 (Beginner), A2 (Elementary), B1 (Intermediate), B2 (Upper-intermediate) and C1 (Advanced). Not sure? Take the free level test: one short story of 10 sentences that gets harder from A1 to C1. It takes about 5 minutes, and if you are signed in, your level is saved to your profile.
How often should I practice English dictation?
Consistency is key. Practicing for just 10 to 15 minutes every day produces significantly better results than studying for hours once a week. Daily dictation builds muscle memory for spelling and trains your brain to parse spoken English automatically.
How are my answers checked?
When you send a sentence, it is compared with the transcript word by word. Capital letters and punctuation don't count. At the end you see your accuracy, with wrong, missing and extra words marked and each mistake explained.
