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.

  1. A unit opens with a deck of word cards: look through the words first, or skip them.
  2. Then Warm Up, and lessons like In Context, each a few minutes long.
  3. 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.
