Smart.fm has been mentioned earlier on this site, so I thought I'd share my experience with one of its features I discovered and really like.
Most of you are probably familiar with this, but I just found out that we can also upload audio files, and then have dictations based on this audio. I created my first dictation excercise today from sentences of a dialog of Upper Intermediate level (too high for me, got 55% right), and it felt great!
Just with the sound file of any text we like, plus a small application which enables us to cut it down to smaller or bigger mp3 pieces, we can customize our own dictation exercises. I immediately liked them: they force me to understand, memorize and write sentences within a very short period of time. Fantastical practice, isn't it?
Anyone else who wants to share their experiences on this?
Have a nice day everyone :-)
