Steady, İngilizce kelime ve gramer çalışmak için sade bir uygulama. Aralıklı tekrar (spaced repetition) ile çalışıyor: bir kelimeyi ne kadar iyi hatırladığına göre bir daha ne zaman karşına çıkacağına karar veriyor. Unuttuğun sık gelir, bildiğin seyrekleşir. TAMAMEN ÇEVRİMDIŞI İnternet gerekmiyor. Hesap açmıyorsun, giriş yapmıyorsun. Hiçbir veri toplanmıyor, hiçbir yere gönderilmiyor. Ne öğrendiğin yalnızca senin telefonunda duruyor. 2195 KELİME, 33 DESTE • Akademik çekirdek: Academic Word List'in 570 kelimesinin tamamı • TOEFL kampüs dili, IELTS grafik ve trend dili, PTE yeniden ifade kalıpları • Akademik eş dizimler: conduct research, draw a conclusion, shed light on • Konu alanları: çevre, yaşam bilimleri, tarih, ekonomi • Gündelik hayat: havaalanı, otel, restoran, sağlık, ulaşım, iş İngilizcesi • Deyimler, phrasal verb'ler, tepki ve konuşma kalıpları • Dizi ve film İngilizcesi Her kelimede Türkçe karşılık, tanım, örnek cümle ve çevirisi, telaffuz, eş dizimler ve bir kullanım notu var. Notlar asıl işi yapıyor: fark edilmeyen tuzakları anlatıyor. "Adverse" ile "averse", "credible" ile "credulous", "feasible" ile "viable" arasındaki farkı bilmek sınavda puan demek. 92 GRAMER KONUSU, 1380 ALIŞTIRMA A1'den C2'ye. Her konuda kısa bir Türkçe anlatım, örnekler, bir "dikkat" notu ve 15 alıştırma var. Konular Türkçe konuşanın gerçekten hata yaptığı yerlere göre seçildi: artikel, sıfat-zarf ayrımı, fiil ve sıfat edatları, dolaylı soru, phrasal verb kelime sırası, karma koşul cümleleri. Gramer günlük kelime hedefine karışmıyor. Kendi temposunda ilerliyor. DOKUZ OYUN Eşleştirme, quiz, hız turu, boşluk doldurma, harf karıştırma, dinle-yaz (kelime ve cümle), hatayı bul, cümle sıralama, doğru mu yanlış mı. Gramer oyunları yalnızca daha önce okuduğun konulardan soru getiriyor. Okumadığın bir kuralı sormak öğretmiyor, sadece tıklatıyor. AYRICA • Seviye filtresi: A1'den C2'ye, istediğin bantta çalış • Günlük hedef, seri takibi, haftalık grafik • Kendi kelimelerini ve destelerini ekleyebilirsin • Sesli okuma • Koyu tema • Ayarlanabilir bildirimler — tekrar bekleyen bir şey yoksa gelmiyor Steady kimseyle yarıştırmıyor, gün içinde seni dürtmüyor, sınırsız içerik satmıyor. Günde on kelime ve bir gramer konusu yeterli; uygulamanın işi o onu doğru zamanda önüne getirmek.
