# Listen & Repeat Practice

Master the newest 2026 TOEFL Speaking task.

## What is the Listen & Repeat Task?

Introduced in the 2026 redesign, the Listen-and-Repeat task tests your immediate listening comprehension and verbal reproduction. You will hear a short phrase or sentence, and you must repeat it as accurately as possible, matching the pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation of the original speaker.

## Why It's Challenging

- **No text is provided:** You must rely entirely on your listening skills.

- **Pace matters:** Speaking too slowly or with unnatural pauses will lower your band score.

- **Accent reduction:** While a perfect native accent isn't required, your pronunciation must be clear enough not to impede understanding.

## How We Grade This Task
