Welcome to Listening NYC!

Listening NYC is a video listening course based on life in the Big Apple. The videos are short (about 2-3 minutes) and provide you with opportunities to listen to authentic English, while at the same time learn fun and interesting things about New York City. Each lesson contains a Video Segment, Listening Sheet and Video Transcript. There are both non-subtitled and subtitled versions of the videos.

How to Use This Course

1. Choose a lesson, then download and print the Listening Sheet.

2. Watch the non-subtitled version of the video. You should try to answer as much of the Listening Sheet as you can. Watch as many times as you want!

3. Watch the subtitled version of the video and try to fill in information you couldn't catch before.

4. Finally, you can look at the transcript to find any information you couldn't catch from watching either of the videos.

5. After you have competed the Listening Sheet, watch the non-subtitled version of the video again and you will be amazed that you can understand almost everything now!

Give it a try! Choose a Lesson and Listening Sheet, and get started. There is so much to learn about life in the Big City. Have fun!
