Mature learner

Hi Alan, hi All!
>
> Thanks for your great work.
>
> As a mature learner I have to use every possibility to practice
> English a bit. So I discovered www.english-test.net.
>
> But there is another difficulty for my mature ears, listen to native
> speakers. On the occasion of a short trip to Bournemouth I learned the
> problem is not to be understood, it is just the other way around! For
> me it was very difficult to understand the different slangs.
> Especially women speak with an intonation that doesn't fit to my
> German hearing.
>
> So I cruised the internet for listening comprehension exercises and
> found www.esl-lab.com eventually. This site could be a perfect
> completion to your site, because it is vocal.
>
> Shouldn't you add a link to this or to a similar site?
>
> Best Regards.
