Speechling Help - Listening
The listening exercise lets you practice your listening comprehension on autopilot.
How It Works
You will hear audio played in your target language, followed by a pause, and then in your native language. This will keep going forever.
How to Access Listening
Dictation can be found in your toolbox, which can be reached by clicking on the Toolbox icon on the navbar, and then the Listening icon on the dropdown.
