Shooting Gallery This dynamic exercise makes learning vocabulary fun as the learner tries to memorize the words by typing them in before the "target" gets all the way across the screen. It helps the user to learn to spell correctly as well as to choose the right word quickly.

Grammar The program uses a completely new method of Grammar presentation in the format of a moving conveyor belt, "stamping out" the various grammar constructions.

Grammar

Mosaic The mosaic exercise checks that the grammar has been learnt and is one of the best at helping the memorizing process.

Dialogue This part of the program uses the elements of an artificial intellect. Thousands of variations in the dialogue responses can be accepted by the system thus improving the learner's conversational ability.

Dialogue

Talk This exercise demonstrates how English people talk to each other, giving an idea of what traditional "English Humour" is.

Dictations Comprehension is one of the most difficult aspects of learning a foreign language. This problem is solved by the dictations which have different levels of difficulty built into the program.

Dictations

AudioPad The AudioPad improves the user's pronunciation with the help of professional BBC presenters. A unique feature of the AudioPad is that it has different playback and recording modes allowing the user to imitate the pronunciation to complete perfection. The Mixed (synchronous) Playback mode enables you to listen to your own recorded speech at the same time as the speech of the native speaker. This enables you to hear where your pronunciation differs from the original. The Full Duplex (synchronous) Recording mode allows you to record your own speech at the same time as the native speaker pronunciation is being played back. This enables you to imitate all the nuances of the pronunciation with the utmost precision.
