Listen to five minutes of a foreign language

Play a short audio clip in the language you are learning and catch what you can.

Why it helps

Your ear needs regular exposure to the sounds and rhythm of a language. Even partial understanding builds familiarity.

How to do it

1. Choose a short clip at a beginner level.
2. Listen without subtitles and write down words you catch.
3. Listen again with subtitles if available.

Make it easier

Listen for two minutes.

Make it harder

Repeat sentences aloud after the speaker.
