At night, I sit in a tree. My big eyes watch the grass. A small mouse moves below me. I hear it in the dark. Then I fly down without a sound. I am an owl.
“Eyes In The Dark” is a free A1 Beginner English dictation about Daily life. It takes about 1 minutes.
Press play, listen to each sentence of natural English audio, type what you hear and get instant feedback on spelling, missing words and extra words. At the end, every mistake is explained.
Every day there is a new English dictation at each level, from A1 to C1. Listen to a short text in natural English, type each sentence you hear and see every mistake explained. A session takes about 10 minutes, so it fits into any day.
Daily dictation trains your ear and your spelling together. A little English listening every day works better than a long session once a week: you meet the same weak forms, linked words and contractions again and again, until you catch them without thinking.
Come back to this page once a day and do today’s dictation; it takes about 10 minutes. If you are signed in and have taken the level test, the daily dictation matches your level. Every level, from A1 to C1, also gets a new dictation of its own each day.
