Dictation 1
The Dictation Technique is a very powerful learning tool. When you transcribe what you hear you train many skills at once. Here is how this works:
- Play the audio and listen to 2-5 words. Push pause and THEN write. Never write WHILE listening.
- Only write 10 sentences, or more if you made fewer than 15 mistakes in the previous lesson.
- Do not rewind the audio. If you don't get a word, simply leave a gap.
- When done, listen to the audio again and see whether you can improve your text.
- Now click the COMPARE button. If you made fewer than 15 mistakes, write 5 more sentences in the next lesson, if more, write less in the next lesson.
