DELF B2 Listening Practice
Preparing for the DELF B2 listening test can be stressful.
What should you say? How should you structure your ideas? How do you avoid freezing on the day?
We have created a structured space for practising DELF B2 listening to help you practise with confidence, with realistic topics, a guided structure and free transcripts.
For learners who would benefit from personalised feedback and targeted exam strategy, one-to-one DELF coaching with Thomas is also available.
How the DELF B2 Listening Exam works
In the official exam:
You read the questions first.
You listen to the audio twice.
You answer under time pressure.
The questions guide your listening.
You are not listening passively — you are listening with purpose.
How to train effectively for the DELF B2 Listening exam
1. Read the questions before listening
Underline keywords.
Predict vocabulary.
Anticipate reformulation.
2. First listening – Structure
Identify the topic, the speaker’s position and the overall organisation.
3. Second listening – Precision
Confirm details. Catch numbers, contrasts and key arguments.
4. Review actively
Re-listen to difficult sections. Analyse vocabulary gaps and argument structure.
Progress comes from analysis, not repetition alone.
Common mistakes at B2 level
Even strong candidates lose points because of strategy errors:
• Starting the audio without analysing the questions
• Trying to understand every word
• Missing paraphrased information
• Training without realistic timing
Avoiding these mistakes already improves performance significantly.
