Why this selection?
What is due today comes first: a review left lying falls back, while new material can wait. Then what went wrong recently, and only then something new — from your level, so it stays doable.
Which mode?
Short and focused A few minutes, one clear purpose.
Speed round 90 seconds, as many as will fit — from what you already know and new items at your level. 90 s Work on weak spots What went wrong recently, then your shakiest area. 10 exercises Card box One word, four answers, a speaker. The three wrong ones come from the same list and the same part of speech — otherwise you could rule them out without knowing the word. 15 exercises Word order Put word cards in the right order. The one thing no other exercise checks: you can get every word right and the sentence wrong. 10 exercises
With sound Needs a voice in the browser. Here you type rather than click: the writing is the exercise.
Listening trainer Words, sentences, sounds and dialogues in click-to-answer rounds. Listen and write A word is spoken and you write what you heard. The only exercise here with nothing to read. 10 exercises Sentence dictation A whole sentence is spoken and you write what you heard. Punctuation and capitals do not count — you cannot hear them. 10 exercises Listen and tell apart Two words that differ in one sound — one is spoken and you say which. Only the sounds English does not have. 10 exercises More ways to practise Placement test The questions adapt to your answers — and at the end you get your level. Flashcards Each card asks and you answer yourself — for grammar the rule and its example, for vocabulary the word, in both directions. 15 exercises Saved list What you marked yourself while reading. 15 exercises Words from texts you have read Exactly the words that occur in the reading texts you have marked as read — the way back from reading to practice. A word you have seen in a sentence already has a hook to hang on. 15 exercises In order From the start through the chosen level or area. 15 exercises At random A mix of everything that fits your selection. 15 exercises Smart revision Only what is due today. What you know comes back in five weeks. 15 exercises
