My Seventh Entry

Improving my Listening Skills

I found a website (LiricsTraining.com) where you can practice your listening skills through lyrics.

The activities consist in listening to the song while you are writing the missing words in the subtitles.

I think is a great website because is entertaining; the only problem is that you are writing just the words you are listening, but you are not always focused on the meaning of each statment.
