Dictation

It is one thing to just listen (and to try to understand what the speaker said). It's something completely different to listen actively. Today upgrade contains a active listening quiz. It's called dictation.

You are asked to listen closely and then type what you heard (in your target language). As you proceed, the voice will speak the new portion of the recording. If your text is correct -- it will be shown in green, otherwise it's in red. If you are not sure about the next character -- just type ? (question mark).
