D1: Beginner Dictations to Listen and Write Better English

This English Dictations for beginners course will Improve your English listening skills and writing skills.

You can listen to Native British English speaker Ken give short English dictations. Your job is to write down exactly what Ken is saying. Doing this, you will improve your English grammar by understanding short sentence structures in English.

You will improve and reduce your thinking time in English - that time it takes for you to listen to what's being said then to think and translate what it means, most people do this, maybe you too!

If the first dictation is too slow and easy for you, try half way though the lesson and there will be a faster version for you!

How will I improve?

Remember this is a beginners English course so the English vocabulary and structures are quite basic. If you are new to learning and a basic English learner you will learn and improve.

• By listening to a native British English speaker, you will improve your listening skills. The English dictations have two parts, a slower version and a faster version to challenge you!

• You'll also improve your English writing skills, your English spelling will improve too as you practice your new English vocabulary.

How well do you understand?

The first part of the dictation is quite slow and will be really helpful for beginner students to slowly improve and understand.

The second part of the dictation is much quicker and will really challenge your English skills.

You can then check how well you have done and use the captions and there is a booklet you can download with the dictation too.

What are dictations?

Dictations are listening exercises in English. I speak out sentences and structures and you write down what you hear.

The dictations are made up of sentences i know that you can use in everyday English and are taken from my Beginners Guide to Speaking Better English courses on UDEMY.

If you write well, it is a great start to improving.

Who gives the lectures?

I'm Ken and I'm from the UK and speak British English although I've lived in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Thailand in the last 15 years and have been able to learn some conversational French, Portuguese, Spanish and I can understand some Thai also.

I've visited around 50 countries around the world so I am very well aware of cultural differences and have adapted myself over time to understand languages and what's important culturally.

So you have a teacher who understands what it is to learn a language, how challenging and difficult it can be. This is why these courses maybe perfect for you as it comes from real experiences from myself and also my many, many students.

All of this experience goes into my course in many ways and these dictations are part of that.

What is Kens background?

I've been a business trainer organising training workshops for companies and also I've been involved in language learning ever since I left the UK - both teaching and learning. Over the last few years, I've taught thousands of students in Europe, South America and more recently Asia where I've coached and taught newly graduated Asian students how to improve their English, confidence and give great career advice for those wanting to work in the aviation industry as cabin crew.
