Understand every accent. Follow every speaker. Catch every answer.
The IELTS Listening test includes a variety of native English accents — British, Australian, New Zealand, American, and Canadian. If you’ve ever thought:
“I understood the meaning, but the speaker said it too fast…”
“I missed the answer because I didn’t catch the pronunciation…”
You’re not alone — and you’re not wrong. Accents affect listening accuracy, especially under pressure.
But here’s the good news: you can train for them — just like you train vocabulary, grammar, or question types.
