=[ FEATURES ]= - Learn socialising phrases, to help you meet others. - Practice listening skills for the Western traveller - Familiarise yourself with common everyday situations, so you're aware of useful phrases - Your progress for each phrase is tracked in the background, so you don't repeat phrases too frequently. - Phrases are randomised in semi-artificial conversations, so there is some "variety" to keep your mind awake. - Focus on listening, and translation recall. The two most important skills for everyday socialising. =[ HOW IT WORKS ]= - Listen to a conversation: a list of phrases. - After each repeat, any phrase has been seen enough will be replaced by a new phrase to learn. - Best used as an intermediate practice tool. - Combine with SCRIBE ORIGINS series to learn basic vocab and hanzi. StudyChat English is designed for you as the intermediate-level traveller who wants to become familiar with phrases from different situations. If you already know the basics of the language and you want another tool to practice with, then this is for you. StudyChat English has been intentionally designed as a fun supplementation to existing study methods. There are many excellent resources for learning grammar and vocabulary. But there are few tools, aside from watching TV with subtitles, that simulate conversations for practicing what you have already learnt. StudyChat English also includes a bucketload of background and character styles, to keep your mind as interested as "study" possibly can be.
