Don't waste time learning words and phrases you will never use. Learn faster by focussing on and choosing only what you know you really want to learn. With the best will in the world, people who create courses can only guess at this. All-in-one app. If you want to, you can speak, you can spell, you can type, you can read, you can listen. Whatever way is best for you. The fun’s in the freedom to do it your way.You can translate from or to your native language. This applies to any of the languages in the list shown below, assuming your native language is also on that list. Please remember, this is not a language learning course. If it was, it would cost ten times as much as it does. It is absolutely unique. It is an empty framework. A shell which you populate with words and phrases you want to learn for your work, your exams or your next trip abroad. Generate phrases with Artificial Intelligence (AI), keyboard and voice input in native and foreign languages with instant translation. AI generates phrases: you choose subject, verb, pronoun and tense. AI will explain grammatical errors in your test answers, allowing you to learn quickly. Write stories or conversations on topics of interest. Use Polylingo on it’s own or with a course or phrase book. You have control of content and level. You drive the app. It does not drive you. Uses scientifically proven techniques to aid memorisation such as memory palaces, linking images, active learning and spaced repetition. Predominately oral, visual or kinetic learners are all catered for. You can check your learning progress at any time with tests, using hints where necessary. Practice and refine your pronunciation by using the microphone. Select words in the correct order in phrases or whole conversations you have entered. To use the map when abroad, just type in your keyword(s) and get relevant map annotations and related words and phrases, you've already entered, for the language of that country.
