WELE is a free English listening practice program based on the dictation listening method. Over 30,000 users have improved their English proficiency with WELE.

The learning method is very simple: you listen to each short podcast segment and then type out what you heard. By paying attention to each word, your ears will gradually get used to the speaking speed, the way sounds connect, and the accents of native speakers. This is something that passive listening has difficulty providing.

What you have on WELE:

• Thousands of selected listening exercises from BBC 6 Minutes English, Spotlight English, TOEIC, Cambridge IELTS, and series produced by WELE, covering various topics and levels.
• Dedicated dictation player: rewind each sentence, adjust speed, keyboard shortcuts, hints when encountering difficult segments, display errors for self-correction.
• Immediate scoring after submission: know what percentage you listened to correctly, which words were incorrect, and what you misheard.
• Smart review: incorrectly heard words are automatically added to a review queue that repeats at intervals, reviewing them just before you are likely to forget.
• Speaking practice: repeat the sentence you just heard, receive pronunciation scoring and feedback on common mistakes.
• Progress tracking: estimate listening proficiency according to levels A1–C2, vocabulary, progress charts, and suggestions on what to practice next.
• Daily plan: WELE suggests manageable listening exercises and review sessions, along with a learning streak to maintain the habit.
• Courses and pathways according to goals (Oxford 3000, communication, work, IELTS/TOEIC), challenges by topics, and community leaderboards.
• Classroom tools for teachers and centers: assign tasks, track individual student results.

WELE is available on the web, iOS, and Android, with synchronized progress across devices. Most features are free. The Premium package unlocks in-depth podcast analysis, unlimited pronunciation practice, and advanced courses.

Suitable for students, working professionals, and those preparing for IELTS/TOEIC, in general, anyone who wants to improve their English listening skills consistently, requiring only 15–25 minutes each day.
