Start today and break the language barrier! How does WordDive work? With WordDive, you’ll learn by reading, writing, listening and speaking. The learning algorithm optimises the pace of the exercises individually so that the study items are transferred from working memory to long-term memory. This is what we call permanent learning. Permanent learning means that you’ll learn vocabulary and the most important grammar topics by heart. It requires you to write what you’re learning correctly, without listening, on at least two separate days. Once you’ve learned the basics of the language permanently, your confidence in using it increases and your language skills start improving rapidly. The learning material is divided into skill levels and courses of approximately 40–60 study items. Following the clear and ready-made learning path is easy. You don’t have to worry about planning your studies – you can just enjoy learning. By real life language skills, we mean understanding the language you’re studying and being able to have spontaneous conversations with native speakers. With WordDive, you’ll reach a sufficient level of proficiency and learn things you need on the road, at work and in other practical situations! Who is WordDive for? WordDive is great for motivated adults who have full calendars and can’t always get to a specific classroom at a specific time. Everyone can choose a starting level that suits them and practice anywhere. Whether you want to learn the basics of Spanish for your holiday or hone your English skills for work, WordDive is the right choice. Why do I need to pay for WordDive? • All learning material is created by Finnish language teachers and proofread and recorded by native speakers. • No ads will distract you from learning. • Our maintenance and customer service are there for you every day of the year.
