  1. Listen first

    Play the conversation and just listen — no text yet. You can pause and replay.

  2. Answer the main question

    One question about what the conversation is about.

  3. Listen again for details

    Then 5 more questions: names, countries and key phrases.

  4. See your result

    Then the next conversation. After all 3, you get a short summary.

  • Stuck? After the first listen you can open the transcript with translation, or slow the audio down.
