Free TOEFL 2026 Listen and Repeat Practice

8 target sentences, played by your browser and — where the browser supports it — transcribed by your browser, so you can see which words you dropped. No account, no upload, no trial. Each sentence carries the drop rates actually measured on it across 383 to 1,026 scored attempts.

The practice drill

Sentence 1 of 8

Conference orientation · easy · 5 words

Play it once, then repeat it from memory. Nothing is uploaded: the sentence is spoken by your browser and, where the browser supports it, transcribed by your browser.

If JavaScript is off, or your browser has no speech APIs, every sentence and its measured drop rates are written out in full below.

All 8 sentences and the words most often dropped

The percentage after each word is the share of scored attempts in which that word did not appear in the learner's repetition. Together these 8 sentences account for 4,595 of the 13,040 attempts in the dataset.

Where the drop rates come from

13,040 scored Listen and Repeat responses across 21 target sentences, drawn from a 5,000-session sample since 2026-01-01, with a minimum of 30 scored attempts before a sentence is reported at all. The unit is one completed, scored response to one target sentence, not one learner — the same person may appear several times.

The aggregation is read-only and sentence-level. No transcript, recording, user identifier or individual attempt is published, and none is stored in the website dataset. Scores behind these aggregates are LingoLeap AI scores, not official ETS results.

The full study, including how difficulty and word count interact, is at our Listen and Repeat research page.

What this page cannot measure

Listen and Repeat is scored on three things: how much of the sentence you reproduced, how intelligible it was, and how stable your delivery was. A browser can check the first. It cannot judge the other two — your browser's recogniser silently normalises pronunciation, and it reports no timing you could turn into a fluency measure.

So treat a high percentage here as evidence that your recall is working, not that your pronunciation is. What a real score contains, field by field, is documented in the TOEFL 2026 speaking feedback specification.

The other 2026 task with a single correct answer is also free and ungated here: Build a Sentence practice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account or a microphone permission to start?
No account, no email, no trial. You only grant the microphone when you press the scoring button, and you can skip that entirely: play the sentence, say it aloud, and reveal the target to check yourself.
Where does my recording go?
Nowhere. The sentence is spoken by your browser's own speech synthesis, and where the browser offers speech recognition it transcribes your repetition locally. Our page never uploads audio and never stores the transcript — it lives in the page until you move to the next sentence.
How is the reproduction percentage calculated?
It walks the target sentence left to right and counts how many of its words appear, in order, in what the browser heard. That share is the same quantity our scoring calls completeness — how much of the sentence survived. It is a practice signal, not a score: a browser recogniser mishears words that you in fact said.
Which browsers can score me?
Chrome and Edge on desktop, and Safari on macOS, expose a speech recognition API. Firefox and most iOS browsers do not, so the drill there falls back to a self-check: play, repeat, reveal, and compare yourself against the words our data shows get dropped.
Are these the real exam sentences?
No. They are the target sentences learners have practised on LingoLeap, which is why we can publish how often each word gets dropped. They sit in the same campus-announcement register as the exam task — a conference orientation, a museum tour, a library induction.
What does the exam actually ask you to do?
You hear a short sentence once and repeat it back inside a fixed window. The scoring looks at how much of the sentence you reproduced, how intelligible it was, and how stable the delivery was — which is why a page like this can only measure the first of the three.

Get the two things a browser cannot score

Intelligibility and delivery stability need real pronunciation scoring, with per-word guidance on the sounds that cost you marks.
