YouTube English Listening Quiz Part 1 - Japanese Manners Edition
Many people want to improve their listening skills but don't know what to do.
Since it's hard to know the most efficient method, it's better if it's enjoyable because it will last longer!
Therefore, this article provides a listening quiz using YouTube videos.
Not only is the quiz format fun, but it also helps develop the ability to listen carefully, which is necessary for non-advanced learners (probably).
Whether it's TOEIC or IELTS, they're all quizzes in the end, so it's not an exaggeration to say that this format is also good for exam preparation.
For this first installment, the topic is Japanese culture, a familiar theme.
The difficulty level is not very high, so I think it will appeal to a relatively wide audience.
If you want to increase the difficulty, it might be good to listen to it as music without watching the video.
