Audacity how-to guides

Audacity is free software, which means you can download it and use it for free (or it's already on the DER laptops!). Audacity enables you to record your own listening tasks (and change your voice, so it can sound like two different people talking) and also enables students to create speaking tasks. Take a look at the short videos and information on our website, and you'll be using Audacity in no time!
