Part 1: Dictation
Play the recordings and write down the sentences that you hear. You can play the recording multiple times. Once you have finished, check your answers by opening the box below the recording.
Hint: confundir = to confuse
Part 2: Repetition for Pronunciation
Play the recording from part 1 again and repeat what you hear out loud. You can do this with the Dictation Key open or closed. You will need to pause the recording to have time to say each phrase before the next one starts.
Do each phrase twice!
