Duolingo Listening Practice Tips

1

Tune In Daily

Make English audio your daily companion. Listen to podcasts, news, or YouTube videos in English. The more you expose yourself to real-world accents and pace, the better your ears become at catching details—just like in the Duolingo English test. You can also practice with Duolingo writing practice questions.
2

Mimic What You Hear

Echo what you listen to—word for word. This technique trains your ears and tongue together, helping you internalize pronunciation and rhythm. Use subtitles first, then remove them. It builds memory recall and comprehension, boosting your confidence with both "Listen and Type" and "Speak the Sentence" tasks.

Practice with Purpose on DET Practice Test

It’s your shortcut to identifying weak areas and turning them into scoring opportunities.
4

Pause and Predict

During practice, pause audio clips and try predicting what’s next. This sharpens your contextual understanding and teaches you to listen actively, not passively. Over time, you’ll start catching phrases and anticipating structure especially useful for fast, native-speed recordings in the real test.
