To improve your listening skills, you need to hear real conversations. That’s why Collins Listening is based entirely on 50 authentic everyday interactions to help you understand what is said to you, whatever the circumstances.

· Twenty 4-page units with exercises and vocabulary work to help you understand differences in pronunciation and vocabulary
· Authentic recordings of both native and non-native speakers of English, covering a wide variety of accents from around the world
· Recordings include face-to-face conversations, public announcements, telephone calls, bookings, shopping scenarios and more
