The learning process starts immediately. While reading, you can tap unfamiliar words to look them up in the dictionary and save them to your personal exercises in the app’s learning Tool. Learning is fast and effective with the comprehensive Brainglass method. The Learning Tool keeps track of how well you know words using six different exercises types spanning three progressive knowledge levels:
A) UNDERSTAND new words to be able to read and listen:
(1) in context, (2) without context and (3) from audio
B) USE new words to be able to write or talk:
(4) in context and (5) without context
C) SPELL words to graduate from the final level:
(6) spelling (type in word with virtual keyboard) in context
The Learning Tool monitors learning and schedules repetition to your personal ability and activity patterns, reminding you to practice at adapted intervals.
