When learning new vocabulary, it's crucial to utilize the right methods and tools. In modern language learning programs, there are often various settings that support the learning process. Above the gear icon in the upper right corner of the lesson, you can adjust different exercises that train memory and language skills in various ways. Here are the five available test modes:
‍

1. Memorization Mode

The Memorization Mode works similarly to traditional flashcards. Learners can flip the cards and repeat the words. Additionally, learners can listen to the words using speech output to practice pronunciation. Learners then inform the algorithm whether they've mastered the word or not, helping the program prepare for future queries and adapt learning progress individually.

2. Quiz Mode

Quiz Mode is more interactive and challenging. Learners can't decide themselves if they've mastered a word. Instead, they're tested through various exercises that can either succeed or fail. Although some exercises can be solved through guessing, the brief reflection during each exercise helps the vocabulary to be remembered better.

3. Listening Mode

In Listening Mode, the focus is on auditory comprehension. Learners hear the vocabulary words and must recognize and correctly associate them. This mode improves listening comprehension and helps internalize the correct pronunciation and sound of words.

4. Speaking Mode

Speaking Mode prompts learners to pronounce the vocabulary words aloud. The program checks pronunciation and provides feedback. This mode is particularly useful for practicing active language production and improving pronunciation.

5. Test Mode

Test Mode is likely the most challenging but also the most effective mode. To succeed in this mode, learners must truly master the vocabulary. Guessing won't help here. The intensive mental effort helps the brain memorize the vocabulary best. Those looking for an intensive course should turn off the less enjoyable exercise modes and focus solely on the Test Mode for learning. However, be warned: many learners quickly lose motivation when practicing solely in Test Mode.

Additional Settings

In addition to the various modes, learners can adjust whether they want to be tested on vocabulary from the input language or the target language. It's also possible to activate both, alternating between exercises, which provides a more varied practice and improves the ability to switch between languages.
