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!

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.

Todd: Hello, Jason. You're from England. Where are you from in England?

Jason: I'm from South London.

Todd: Oh, cool. South London. Why don't you talk about that for awhile.

Jason: OK, well, London is a little bit colder that Japan, it's a little bit more expensive as well, so it is kind of nice to come here and spend my money.

Todd: So actually, you said South London right? Is that where Wimbleton is? in South London?

Jason: Wimbleton, No! Wimbleton's in West London.

Todd: West London!

Jason: Yeah. South London isn't famous for much, really, apart from rude people like me.

Todd: So what's the difference between South London and West London and North London?

Jason: Yeah, there is a big difference between all the places in London. Everyone's got different accents. Everyone acts differently. England has a lot of different places. For example, in North England they'll have different accents, completely different accents, from South England and sometimes even different languages, like in Wales and Scotland, so.

Todd: So your accent is South London.

Jason: My accent is South London, yeah. Someone from North London would sound completely different from me, and West London and so on, so.

Todd: So is South London the best place to live?

Jason: Oh, yeah, of course. Actually, Central London would be but it is way too expensive, kind of like Tokyo.

Todd: OK. Were you born in South London?

Jason: Yeah, I was born in South London. Yeah. But, you know, I've been everywhere in England, so believe me there's a lot of different places, everywhere is different.
