About

Listen in English is a free website where you can practice English listening through a wide range of activities and formats.

One of the most effective ways to improve your English is to immerse yourself in comprehensible input—English that you can largely understand while still being challenged. Such material is easy to find for reading (for example at: www.e-reader.net ) but much harder to find for listening. This site aims to fill that gap by offering a large collection of level-appropriate listening resources.

Some activities focus on Listening Fluency—listening for overall meaning and general understanding. In these tasks, you should relax and avoid worrying about every difficult word or grammar structure.

Other activities emphasize Listening Accuracy—listening for precise understanding. Here, the goal is to pay careful attention to sentence patterns and to catch every word.

All activities are designed to be quick, practical, and mobile-friendly. Whether you use a computer, tablet, or phone, each activity can typically be completed in about 10–15 minutes, making it easy to build consistent listening practice into your day.

New BBC News Headline activities are added three times per week. New lessons from TV shows, movies, podcasts, and ESL series are added 8–10 times per month. Older lessons are regularly updated to keep materials fresh and accurate.
