Practice and lessons
How lessons work
Units, word cards and the kinds of question.
The Practice tab is a path of units. Each unit teaches a handful of words and has a few short lessons.
- A unit opens with a deck of word cards: look through the words first, or skip them.
- Then Warm Up, and lessons like In Context, each a few minutes long.
- Finish a unit and the next one opens.
Lessons use the sentences and clips the words came from. Questions include:
- what the word means in a sentence, and true or false,
- filling the gap, by choosing or by typing,
- choosing the right form of the word,
- putting a phrase in order,
- which sentence uses the word right (or wrong),
- writing your own sentence with the word, or rewriting one.
Many questions have a speaker button to hear the sentence. Several right answers in a row earn extra XP.
The Words tab lists every word you saved and how well you know it.
