From knowledge to use

Bridging the gap between knowledge and instinct is the key to true fluency.

When a student learns a new grammar rule, or expressions for practical situations, they often understand it conceptually but still struggle to use it spontaneously in conversation.

For example, there is a big difference between simply knowing the rules for conjugating verbs in the past tense and reflexively and spontaneously using past tense conjugations in conversation.

Interactive Lessons give you a structured place to build that automaticity, combining lessons on specific grammar concepts and situations with high volume sentence practice and focused conversation to turn understanding into instinctive use.

Interactive Lessons give you the tools to bridge the gap between abstract knowledge and instinctive use.

You start by learning a concept. Then you develop automaticity through repetition. Finally, you practise using it yourself in conversation.

Three ways to practice

Choose from several different lesson formats.

Learn a new grammatical rule, the nuances of navigating a particular situation, or simply choose your own topic to discuss.

A complete practice loop

Grammar and scenario lessons build your skills through three stages.

Clear articles, in your language

Read an article explaining the pattern or situation in your own language.

Build your muscle memory

Practice repeating a high volume of sentences that demonstrate the concept being learned.

Apply your new skills

Practice using what you have learned in an interactive lesson with a chatbot.

The goal is to not merely understanding the concept being taught, but to develop the automaticity to use it spontaneously and effortlessly in conversation.

Start with understanding

Begin by reading an article that introduces the concept.

Grammar articles explain how a structure works, while scenario articles introduce the setting, useful vocabulary, and cultural context you need for navigating a variety of situations.

Develop muscle memory

Drill the patterns to automaticity with high-volume sentence practice.

Repeat a large number of sentences demonstrating the grammar rule being taught or that can be used in the scenario that is the subject of the lesson.

This is what helps you internalize the patterns you just learned so that you can use them automatically in conversation.

Implement what you learned

Put your new skills into practice through conversation.

The chat interface will test you on the grammar you just learned or simulate the scenario you learned phrases for.

This gives you the opportunity to further reinforce what you've learned by applying it in a realistic conversational context.
