Luisteren: the listening exam, step by step
Six lessons that teach you to listen like an exam candidate: know what is coming, predict the answer, and catch the small words that change everything. You practise numbers and times, conversations, announcements and, for B1, opinions and attitudes. All Dutch examples are new and written for practice.
