Listening Strategies in Welsh

Listening papers reward calm method. You rarely need every word – you need the information the question asks for.

Before the audio

• Read the questions first • Underline question words (who, when, why, how many) • Predict likely vocabulary for the topic

During listening

• First play: overall sense • Second play: target answers • Note numbers, names, times, opinions • Don’t panic if one sentence is unclear – move on

Practice questions

1. What should you do before the recording starts?

2. What details are high priority to note?
