用一个词根,连接一整个词族。 23天掌握高频词根(根系)面向中文使用者,把英语词根、同族词和构词关系放在一起学习,让词与词之间的联系更清楚。 【23天主线,每天5组词根】 主线包含115组词根家族、345个同族词,另有15组拓展词根和31项词缀参考,主线与拓展合计390个词条。可以自由选择课程,也可以按天推进。 【认词根 → 看构词 → 推词义】 先抓住词根的核心义,再比较两个同族词,最后从第三个词找回词根、尝试推测含义并核对讲解。已标注词条提供拆词、含义联系与双语例句;其他词条提供基本词义与词源核对入口。浏览或跳过不会自动计入完成,学习阶段可暂停并恢复。 【双向复习,练习真正使用词根】 词族归根:根据两个同族词,找出共同的词根。 词义迁移:借助词根核心义,判断另一个词的现代含义。 两步都独立答对才完成一组;答错或查看提示的词族会稍后重练,找根与推义的薄弱点分别记录。 【按间隔巩固,也能自由练习】 提供今天到期的复习、已学词根练习、按天练习和薄弱词族重练。额外练习不会提前改变到期安排。 【随时听、随时学】 支持系统英语朗读、词源链接、深浅色与系统字体大小,并适配iPhone和iPad的可用空间。无需注册,课程随App提供,基本学习可离线完成;学习记录保存在本机,可导出JSON记录。 词根是理解与记忆的线索,现代词义仍要结合语境和词源演变,不能机械相加。23天为首轮课程安排,学习效果因练习情况而异。部分系统语音首次使用可能需要下载,外部词源页面需要联网。 从一个核心义开始,慢慢建立自己的词族网络。
