Listening Arabic online
Listening is the receptive skill in the oral mode.
There are two kinds of listening situations in which you usually involved in: interactive, and non-interactive.
Interactive listening situations include face-to-face conversations and telephone calls, in which you are alternately listening and speaking, and in which you have a chance to ask for clarification, repetition, or slower speech from your conversation partner.
Some non-interactive listening situations are listening to the radio, TV, films, lectures, or sermons. In such situations you usually don't have the opportunity to ask for clarification, slower speech or repetition.
