Ear training

Listening

This section is to practice tonal identification of and discrimination between high, low, rising and falling pitch movements.

This is the first step before being confronted with the actual intonation patterns of the Sp_ToBI labelling system for Spanish prosody.


First listen to the different pitch movements to get used to them, and then you may go through the exercises.
