Listening practice on the web

There are lots of listening resources on the internet, and I've included some on my list of recommended links, but just to make it (even) easier for you, let me re-recommend http://www.elllo.org/ (I know some of you have already investigated the page and found it useful).

This page has a great variety of listening activities:

Very short and easy: http://www.elllo.org/english/Games.htm

Situation conversations with comprehension questions: http://www.elllo.org/english/Situations.htm

Or listen to different people answering the same question (and practise listening to different accents): http://www.elllo.org/english/Mixer.htm

Or maybe multiple-choice type listenings here: http://www.elllo.org/english/STeP.htm.

Or, or, or... look, I'm SURE you can find something interesting on the page: interviews, news articles, etc, so what are you waiting for to check it out? Feedback welcome as usual.

Great site! I've especially appreciated the room for rent situation because I'm looking for an English flatmate...This weekend I met 2 girls but I'm not done yet

I agree with Monica, it's a great site,with a wide range of subjects. I usually try to improve my listening skills... but...although I find this link very useful, unfortunately my ears don't want to help me :( But I won't give up...

Dear Mary Anne,

Thanks a lot for this useful link.
I hope I will be able to work a lot with it.

Yesterday after the listening exam I realized that I am not good enough at listening to pass it.

Best wishes.

Thanks a lot Marianne. I have kept this page (ELLLO) in my favourites. I usually listen to it four or five times a week but, even so, my ears are still deaf to understand English.
Best wishes
