Pictorial Vocabulary Guides
Place your cursor over an image and hear the word associated with it pronounced. Because of its visual interface, the Pictorial Vocabulary Guides can be used by anyone in the world, regardless of their native language.
| • English (US) | • French | • Japanese | • Italian |
| • Portuguese (Brazil) | • Spanish (Spain) | • German |
New guides for Spanish (Mexico), Greek, English (UK), Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Hindi, and Turkish should be ready soon.
Tutorials
The Tutorials teach grammar and feature vocabulary that complement the pictorial guides. Like the pictorial guide, they are entirely sound integrated. 'Quiz mode' is an interactive feature that allows students to quiz themselves on vocabulary.
| • English for Chinese speakers | • English for Spanish speakers |
| • English for Portuguese speakers | • English for Turkish speakers |
Grammar focused guides have been developed for learning French and Spanish. Language Guide hopes to develop future Tutorials from Wikibooks.
Interactive Readings
The
Interactive Readings are geared toward helping students develop reading
and audio comprehension skills and build vocabulary. They consists of
a story that has been coupled with a recording of that story, or a radio
broadcast with its transcript.
As the name suggests, students are able to interact with the reading in a myriad of ways. When listening to the reading they can jump easily backwards and forwards within the sound track, rehearing difficult passages. They can pause it and see exactly what is being read and see the translations of challenging words in their native language. They can then save these translations for later review with a mouse click. A demo and detailed instructions are available here.
