Flashcards & Shadowing

Read full description

Flashcard maker and speaking practice app for iPhone and iPad. Study new words and use shadowing to sound like a native! The Snova app turns the videos you already watch into speaking practice, and the words you meet into flashcards that stick. Paste a link to a video you like from social media, or share it straight to Snova, and it becomes a pronunciation lesson. A native speaker says a line, you repeat it, and you keep going until it sounds right. Interpreters and language teachers have used shadowing for decades, usually with textbook audio. Here you do it with a creator you already listen to. WHY SHADOWING WORKS Reading a word tells you what it means. Repeating it out loud after a native speaker tells you how it actually sounds: the rhythm, the way words run into each other, the sounds your own language never asks you to make. Plenty of learners understand far more than they can say. Shadowing works on the second half. Snova transcribes the video right on your iPhone or iPad and splits it into lines. Slow a line down, replay it, then record yourself. Dub Mode puts your voice on the video so you can watch it back and share it. Turn it off to get a score for your pronunciation, intonation and timing. Ten minutes a day is enough to hear the difference in your own recordings! LEARN THE WORDS, NOT JUST THE SOUNDS Tap any word in a video and it becomes a flashcard. Snova schedules your reviews with FSRS, a modern spaced repetition algorithm: you rate each card Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and it comes back right before you'd forget it. Your vocabulary comes from videos you picked yourself, so you end up learning the words people actually use. READY-MADE DECKS IN THE LIBRARY Not sure where to start? The Library has ready-made decks for 14 languages: alphabets, grammar, verbs and everyday words with translations. Add one in a tap and start reviewing. CARDS FOR ANYTHING YOU STUDY A word card can carry up to three languages, so you can learn two languages alongside your native one. A definition card has a term on one side and what it means on the other. Question and answer cards take anything you'd be asked out loud: an exam question, a formula you have to reproduce. Write them yourself, or describe a topic and get a deck back.

About

CM Python With Fun

Features
Read full description

You learn programming by programming, not by reading. CM Python with fun takes pupils from year 9 onwards from their very first lines of code to their own small games โ€“ right on iPhone or iPad, no computer, no account, and no internet connection required. Every lesson follows the same clear pattern: a short explanation, see an example, change it yourself, write your own code, see the result, understand it. You never read for long โ€“ at most a minute in, a task asks you to type something yourself. THE LEARNING PATH Ten stages, complete from the ground up: from the basics (print, variables, arithmetic) through decisions, loops and lists to functions, strings, dictionaries and error handling. Stage 9 brings five complete projects โ€“ hangman, tic-tac-toe, a quiz app, a text adventure, a rock-paper-scissors tournament โ€“ built in checked stages. A bonus area adds classes & objects, list comprehensions, recursion and searching/sorting. THE PLAYGROUND An editor with syntax highlighting and a console for your own programs, plus turtle graphics for patterns and drawings. A whole set of ready-made templates is built in to get you started โ€“ from "Hello Python" to the new Mandelbrot Gallery, which uses turtle graphics to show new, randomly chosen, multicolor sections of the famous fractal, one after another. The trace view shows step by step what your code is actually doing โ€“ ideal for really understanding a bug instead of just fixing it. ERROR MESSAGES YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ Python error messages are often cryptic for beginners. CM Python with fun translates them into plain language and points exactly to where in the code the problem is. BUILT FOR THE CLASSROOM Teacher mode: unlock every stage instantly, create your own tasks with starter code, a solution, hints and automatic checking, export the whole class's progress as a CSV. Several pupil profiles on one device โ€“ each with its own progress, badges and programs. ALSO INCLUDED Revision with quiz cards and a command reference to look things up. Progress tracking with points and badges, a PDF completion certificate. Interface and learning content fully bilingual, German and English. Light and dark mode, adjustable text size, checked with VoiceOver. Built-in manual with full-text search. A dedicated exchange format for programs and full backups, with optional iCloud sync. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Everything is stored locally. No registration, no internet connection required, no advertising, no tracking. Python runs in an embedded interpreter right on the device โ€“ not on a server. The app is completely free. There is no in-app purchase and no locked content.
