oCoder Education - English listening Audios are suitable for learners with different levels of English. Here are some ways to make them easier (if you have a lower level of English) or more difficult (if you have a higher level of English).
You can choose one or two of these suggestions – you don't have to follow all of them!
Making it easier

Look up the words in the exercises that you don't know or don't understand in a dictionary.
Play the audio as many times as you need.
Play each part of the audio separately.
Answer all questions in the exercise.
Read the transcript after you have listened to the audio.
Making it harder
Listen to the audio before you read the exercises.
Only play the audio once before answering the questions.
Play the whole audio without a break.
Don't read the transcript.
Now, listen to the audio and do the exercises on the following tabs.
If you do not complete all the question, you can play the audio again.
After that, read the dialog to make sure that you understand all word in the audio.

Sara: "Hi. I'm Sara." Jessica: "My name is Jessica. It's nice to meet you." Sara: "Yes. It's nice to meet you as well." Jessica: "Have you been here long?" Sara: "I got here about an hour ago. Do you want me to show you around?" Jessica: "Yeah. That would be great. The most important is the bathroom right?" Sara: "Definitely. But we have to share the bathroom with the whole floor. The break room is over there. The bathroom is right across from the break room, and finally, the RA (resident advisor) is in room 315." Jessica: "I'm glad there is a TV in the break room. I like to watch TV." Sara: "Me too. So I brought one. I haven't unpacked it yet, but it's a little TV that works." Jessica: "Cool. I brought a refrigerator. I like to store some snacks in there. Feel free to use it." Sara: "That would be perfect. I think we're going to have a great time." Jessica: "Do you sleep pretty late, or are you a morning person." Sara: "I have never been either. I'm very flexible with sleeping times. Anyways, I'm a deep sleeper so a little noise never bothers me." Jessica: "That's good to know. I'm usually a night person, but I'm very quiet if my roommate is sleeping." Sara: "As long as you don't blast the music while I'm sleeping, I should be fine. Did you eat lunch yet?" Jessica: "No. Is there a cafeteria in the building?" Sara: "Yeah. I'll show you."
