Practice Mode is an ideal way of becoming familiar with the sets of words you will be tested on. You can customise your practice to the way that suits you best but to begin with we suggest you start by practising in sessions of 20 words at time and also to repeat the word out aloud.
Please note: These examples are for the Spanish version but apply to all other languages.

Category
Select the category of words you would like to practice.
First Word
You have the choice of hearing the Spanish word first and then English word or vice versa.
Include Banked Words
Ticking this box means when a category is selected ALL words for that category will be loaded. Removing the tick means only the words that are not banked will be loaded. If you have already banked a word then there is usually no need to practice it.
Play English Word
Ticking this box means both Spanish and English words will be shown and played. You may however prefer to hear only the Spanish word in which case remove the tick in this box.
Continuous Play
If this box is checked, when the session is complete it will start again at the beginning. This will continue looping until you click the "Stop" button.
Gap
This refers to the gap (in time) between each word. You might like to increase the gap if you like to repeat each word two or three times before hearing the next one.
Starting Word
The word number you want your practice session to start from. To find the word you want to start from click "View Words" to display a list of words for that category.
Repeat Word
All words will be repeated by the number of times selected here.
Repeat Button
|
Clicking the repeat button during practice will result in the last word being continuously repeated until it is clicked again. If there is a word you are having trouble pronouncing, use this button to practice just that word. |
