Many people may not know what to do to improve their listening skills.

Since an efficient method is not well-known, it's better to make it enjoyable and sustainable!
Therefore, this article provides an English listening quiz using a YouTube video.

Not only is the quiz format enjoyable, but it also helps you develop the essential skill of careful listening (probably).
Whether it's TOEIC or IELTS, it's ultimately a quiz, so this format can also be useful for exam preparation.

In this first installment, the theme is Japanese culture, which is a familiar topic.
The listening difficulty is not too high, so it's relatively accessible to everyone.
If you want to increase the difficulty, you can try listening to the video without watching it and answer the questions.
