This is why TeachMe! has a vocabulary section consisting of the 3,000 most used words in the language. The goal of the Stories section is to help you learn how to use the vocabulary and grammar in context. Drag and drop from a list of words to fill in the blanks in the many stories. A fun way to learn and also a great way to improve your listening skills. You can double click on any word to see the its meaning. With the Progress Chart you can see how you are improving in a lesson (Light Brown line) and how you are improving in the current level (Dark Brown line). As your level score improves you will also see a dotted line. Using AutoLearn, when your level score has reached this dotted line, you will be promoted to the next level. You can use the dictionary to find the meaning of thousands of words.
The dictionary is fully automated - all of the words in the prompt you're working on will be shown in a list. All you have to do is click on the book icon beside the word you want and you will be presented with several examples of how the word is used.
Once the dictionary has found examples of how the word is used, double click on any one of the examples, and you can PowerLearn the word you've chosen. This is especially useful while reading texts - you can PowerLearn each new word you come across, a great way to expand your vocabulary!
