Improving Your Listening Skills with Avocado
2026-02-24
Listening comprehension is one of the hardest skills to develop. Avocado's Listening module makes it easier with AI-generated audio and interactive transcripts.
How the Listening Module Works
The Listening module generates an audio passage based on your topic and level. You'll hear the text read aloud with natural-sounding AI voices, and can follow along with the transcript.
Working with Audio
- Use the play/pause button to control playback
- Replay sections as many times as you need
- The transcript shows the full text of the audio
Interactive Transcript
Just like in the Reading module, you can click on any word in the transcript to get instant translations and explanations in the sidebar. This is incredibly helpful when you hear a word you don't recognize.
Comprehension Questions
After listening, answer the comprehension questions below. Submit your answers to get detailed AI feedback.
