About Transport & Tickets dictation
Transport & Tickets is a A2 (elementary) English dictation topic for elementary learners who can already follow short, everyday sentences. Trains, buses, tickets. Listen to each sentence, type exactly what you hear, and get instant word-by-word feedback that highlights the words you missed. Practising with real, level-appropriate sentences trains your ear, spelling and grammar at the same time.
Examples of what you'll practise
- “A single ticket to the centre, please.”
- “What time does the next train leave?”
- “You have to change at the next stop.”
- “How much is a return to London?”
- “The bus is running ten minutes late.”
- “Where is the ticket office?”
Tips for A2 dictation
- Listen for small function words like “to”, “a” and “the” — they carry little stress and are the easiest to miss.
- Turn on “Repeat” to auto-play each sentence 2–3 times, and use the hint key when you’re truly stuck.
- Review the words you mishear afterwards — spaced repetition brings them back at the right time.

How should I practise the Transport & Tickets dictation?
Listen to a sentence, type exactly what you hear, then check the word-by-word feedback. Replay or slow the audio down when you need to, use a hint if you’re stuck, and review the words you mishear afterwards.
