Listen and Type- Intermediate Practice Test 1

🎧 Duolingo English Test Practice: Listen and Type 🎯

📖 Description

Are you looking to improve your listening and transcription skills for the Duolingo English Test? The Listen and Type question type is designed to evaluate how well you can understand spoken English and accurately transcribe what you hear. In this practice test, you will listen to a variety of audio clips and type exactly what is said—just like in the real DET exam!

Why is this skill important?
The ability to accurately hear, process, and type spoken English is essential not only for the Duolingo English Test but also for real-life situations, such as attending university lectures, participating in workplace meetings, or even casual conversations in English. By regularly practicing this question type, you will strengthen your ability to recognize spoken words, understand intonation and pronunciation, and enhance your overall English comprehension.

🎯 What You Will Practice

✅ Active Listening Skills – Train your ears to recognize different accents, speech speeds, and pronunciation styles commonly tested on the DET.
✅ Spelling and Grammar Accuracy – Improve your ability to write sentences correctly based on what you hear.
✅ Typing Speed and Precision – Develop fast and accurate typing skills to complete the task within the time limit.
✅ Understanding Context – Some words sound similar but have different meanings (e.g., “there,” “their,” and “they’re”). This practice will help you differentiate between them.
✅ Building Confidence Under Time Pressure – The DET gives you one minute to complete this task, so this practice test will help you perform efficiently without stress.
