Understanding announcements

Announcements are a classic listening text: fast, echoing, full of numbers. Train your ear for the signal words — Gleis, Verspätung, fällt aus, umsteigen — and catch what changed.

Understanding announcements

Tip

Listen for the information relevant to your journey: destination, platform, departure time, delay, and any changes. Match the announcement to the question; other details may also matter.
