v4.0 Changes:
ADDED OVER 1000 NEW EXAMPLES IN THE BUILDING BLOCKS MODULE.
The Building Blocks lessons now includes several “Extra Examples” for many words. We have scanned our database of content to find relevant examples in other lessons that could be used to provide more context for the Building Blocks lessons. The result is that many words have over 20 examples, rather than 3-4 examples. The “Extra Examples” can easily be turned on and off.
ADDED 40 NEW VERB LESSONS DIVIDED BY VERB TENSE/MOOD AND TYPE.
We have completely overhauled our verb module to offer more structure and to put more emphasis on separate tenses/moods and verb groups. The content of the “Individual Verb” lessons have been reorganized in a new type of lesson. We have also created a “Recommended Verb Learning Path” to better guide our users towards an optimal way of learning verbs.
ADDED A FLASH CARD MEMORY SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO REVISE WORDS.
We have created a fully integrated flash-card memory system throughout our program. The user will now be able to add words and sentences from the lessons into a bank of cards for review. Look for the new “Flash Card” icon throughout the program to add words and sentences. We have also created the option of adding errors from the exercises to this Flash-card memory system. The words can be revised by going in the “Extra Language Practice” section of the course.
ADDED THE EXTRA LANGUAGE PRACTICE MODULE DIRECTLY IN THE CONVERSATIONS.
We have added a way to get more out of the conversation lessons. You can now train your listening, writing, and speaking skills by going through our conversations. When you load the exercises of the conversations, you will now have the option of going through the dialogue through our “Extra Language Practice” module in order to train your language skills at the same time.
ADDED A CONVERSATION AUDIO COURSE WITH ENGLISH RECORDINGS.
We have recorded all our conversations in English in order to create a customizable audio course with the content of our conversations. When you load any conversation lesson, you will now have the option of choosing “Audio Only”, which will bring you to our audio interface. In the audio interface, you will be able to tune your listening experience to your current needs.
ADDED A SEARCH FUNCTION TO EASILY FIND MATERIAL IN THE COURSE.
In the main menu, we have added the ability to search through the program's content to find the lesson you are looking for. Simply click on the search logo on the top-right corner and type a keyword.
CHANGED OVER 2000 PICTURES THAT LOOKED A BIT DATED.
We have invested a lot of resources to update the visual appearance of our program by updating over 2000 pictures to reflect today's modern photography.
ADDED AN INTEGRATED DICTIONARY IN THE LESSONS.
In the lessons, we have added an integrated thesaurus to find translations on-the-fly. Simply click on the search logo on the top-right corner of the lessons, type a keyword and press enter/return to submit.
ADDED COMBINED EXERCISES FOR MOST LESSON CATEGORIES.
For even more practice, we have added a combined exercise for most lesson categories throughout the program. Look for the new “QUIZ+” icon in the menus to load these randomized exercises.
MINOR CHANGES:
-Added the Express Verbs and Building Blocks combined exercises at the end of the menus.
-Added the ability to answer questions by clicking, rather than typing in the first exercise of Building Blocks.
