Listening practice: Compréhension orale
Short recordings from A1 to C2, each heard once, with a multiple-choice question.
- TCF Canada: 39 questions in 35 minutes.
- TEF Canada: 40 questions in 40 minutes.
Both tests start easy and get harder, from A1 to C2, and both use multiple-choice questions with four options. Practise one level at a time, then move up.
