Tip

• Use the few seconds before the audio to name what you see in the picture: who, where, how many, what time, how much (捷運站 ㄐㄧㄝˊ ㄩㄣˋ ㄓㄢˋ, 便利商店, 三點半, 一百二十塊). When you hear a word you predicted, you recognise it instantly.
• Catch the question word, because it tells you what kind of answer you need: 誰 → a person, 在哪裡 → a place, 幾點／什麼時候 → a time, 多少錢 → a price, 怎麼去 → a means of transport (坐捷運、騎機車、搭公車).
• TOCFL uses Taiwanese accents and vocabulary: 公車 (bus), 計程車 (taxi), 腳踏車 ㄐㄧㄠˇ ㄊㄚˋ ㄔㄜ (bicycle), 機車 ㄐㄧ ㄔㄜ (scooter), 便當 (lunch box), 禮拜一 = 星期一. Learn the Taiwan words from the start so they do not slow you down.
• If the picture shows a clock, a price tag or a floor number, the question is almost certainly about that number. Taiwanese speakers soften retroflex sounds, so 十 ㄕˊ and 四 ㄙˋ can sound close: rely on the tone (2nd rises, 4th falls) and on what the picture shows.
• This is a paper test: fill in the answer sheet after each question or each page instead of saving it all for the end. The recording will not wait for you.
• Listening is scored 0–80 and the level is decided for listening alone: Band A needs 41 for Level 1 入門級 and 57 for Level 2 基礎級 (about 26 and 36 correct out of 50 with Hanzi Pass's estimated conversion). Wrong answers cost nothing, so never leave a question blank.
