VOSCREEN

Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo's blog I came across a site called Voscreen. After signing-up and choosing your native language from a list of nine, you’re shown a series of very short video TV/movie video clips where a phrase is said. Then, you have a choice of either clicking “I understand” or “Show Me The Script.” If you clip “Show Me The Script,” you’re shown two versions in your native language, and you have to choose which one is correct. Click on one and it shows if it’s the right one or not and then you can move to the next clip. If you clip "I understand", you're shown two versions in your native language, and you have to choose which one is correct, too. It is shown with green colour. 

This site Voscreen is free, you can sign up, access through your Facebook account or start as a guest.
