DY Listening Practice - Extra
All DY students have difficulty with their listening ability when they first start at YUELI. It’s just a fact. Those who improve more quickly take every opportunity to practice both listening and either discussing what they have heard, answering comprehension questions or writing notes as they listen. Every student that does this throughout the course improves much more rapidly.
Here is a link to a good listening site that has both audio and video to listen to with comprehension questions that you can answer to see how much you are hearing. Practice makes perfect!!!!

Here’s how it works:
Go to www.google.com and type in the name of what you want to work on. For example,
