The study of English, and any other language at school and at the institute often leaves much to be desired. A senseless torture, no real (authentic) communication with native speakers leads to the fact that most adult people cannot communicate freely in English.

In most centers, half of time, children rewrite words from a dictionary in a notebook, and then teach and pass. The technique is a little interesting, respectively, the efficiency is small.

If revenues allow, then you can individually do with a tutor. Training in this case goes much faster, but, mostly, all on the same boring books.

With this service, you can deal with an individual plan (lead) or simply study different materials (free swimming), which in Lingvaleo a lot.

(Last update of the review - 06/26/2018)

Training materials: texts, audio and video

If you are looking for, something to read, listen or see (including with subtitles) in English, then Lingvaleo is a simple way to find the material of the desired level of complexity without long-lasting digging in Google. Just come to the "Materials" and choose what you like more.

"Materials" is a library of the most "living content", that is, audio recordings, songs, videos, texts in English. Content adds the users themselves, it is systematized by the levels of complexity and themes.

Lionke Leo, Meatballs and Experience Points

Disassemble in the service helps lionok Leo. He explains where to start and how everything is arranged. Lionka needs to "feed", earning points of experience - They are given for the execution of any tasks on the site. Glasses are needed to remove some limitations. For example, some of the exercises to memorize words opens after pumping to a certain level.

Also on the site there meatballs - This is a gaming "currency", which is given for activity on the site - registration, exercises, invitation of friends, etc. Meatballs are needed to save words that fall into the tasks in the personal piggy bank. One meatball \u003d one saved word.

Of course, you can always pay Premium Account (before he was called "Golden Status") and access paymentswithout freezing with meatballs. Personally, I did it. I often read English-speaking sites, and with the plugin "Leopradder" it is convenient to use a unlimited dictionary (see below).

However, many service functions can be used for free.

Individual approach to the student - how is it implemented

It is convenient to deal with the plan when you don't know where to start.

As soon as you register on the site, you will be offered to take a test for knowing words and grammar, and then fill out the questionnaire, indicating the floor, age, personal interests. According to the results of the test, the program will find out what language of the language, on the questionnaire - what materials (text, audio, video) to you offer. Together, this data helps the program to make individual plan Classesadjusted for you personally.

In the process of learning, your successes will be evaluated, and on the basis of statistics the plan will again be driven under you.

Throughout the path, especially at the beginning, you will be assisted by the Red Lion's Leo. He will literally lead the hand, explaining where to click and what to do.

The learning process on an individual plan looks like this:

1. You have registered on the site.
2. A test for knowing words and grammar was passed (so that Leo could understand with whom it deals).
3. Estimates indicated - on their basis texts will be seamless, video.
4. After these procedures, you fall into the section "Tasks"in which it is indicated what exactly needs to do.
5. Passing the task for the task, you will develop your linguistic skills and approach the target target.

"Tasks" - this is your individual classes plan

"Tasks" is not a hard route from which you cannot roll. If the proposed task did not like or uninteresting (too easy), you can refuse it. The program is simple suggests where to start and what to do next. Of course, you are free to ignore these tips and start free journey.

I am familiar with Lingualeo for a long time, and before there was no recommendations there. After registering you simply sent the materials to the library - do what you want! But there are so many materials that just eyes scatter. And where to start? Often it scared users. Now there is no such problem. Registered - here you, please, the algorithm of action. Just perform it and that's it.

What materials offers Lingualeo

Content in "Materials" is divided into text, audio and video.

In reading The most interesting thing is that any word can be highlighted, translate and voice using the built-in dictionary, and then add to the personal dictionary.

It is very convenient. When you read the usual paper book, the need to often look into the dictionary annoys and distracts from reading. And if you try to write out unfamiliar words in the notebook, in order to later lean - it slows down even more reading and makes it less interesting.

With Lingvaleo, you can read without being distracted by searching in the dictionary. Has an unfamiliar word caught? They brought the mouse and watched the translation - it takes literally a second. Do you want to learn this word later? Send it to the dictionary. After reading, ride the added words using a special-simulator program (section "Training").

Words out audio and video, You can also send to study in dictionary, if the material is accompanied by subtitles. In Lingvaleo "Smart" subtitles. At any time, click on an unfamiliar word, the recording immediately will pause, the vocabulary will come up, and the word will go to your training dictionary.

Section "Training" - Studying words in different modes

So, we looked at the roller, read a short story, accumulated from us, say, 20 words. How to teach them? Go to the section "Training" and learn! "Training" is programs to memorize added words. In total, 7 free learning modes plus 8 modes in premium (paid subscription) are available. To open some free modes, you need to pump up to a certain level by performing tasks.

Most training is aimed at memorizing words. Training "Restore history", "Rapid spaces" improves reading skills, and "Gather Proposals" - an understanding of the rumor.

Total on the site 15 types of training

Free modes:

1. word-translation - Traditional "Multiple Choice" (Multiple Choice) is given in English and several options for it - choose the right one. In my opinion, the multiple choice is suitable only in order to pick up the word on the hook of memory, and not to learn it.

2. translation-word - The same, but words are given in Russian, you need to choose english translation.

"Word-translation" mode, please note that the word is given a context (offer from which I took the word) and picture

3. Savanna - The game in which English words fall from the sky, and you need to click on the right russian word. You can make mistakes, but the number of lives is limited.

4. Audition - You dictate English words, you need to score them for rumor (in English).

5. Designer of words - The word disassembled on cubes with letters, you need to collect back. Useful for spelling.

6. Woken cards - Normal double-sided card (Flashcards). You show the English word, you need to click "I know" or "I don't know." The mode opens at the 10th level.

7. Designer phrases - The phrase is given in Russian, you need to collect an English translation from several words. The mode opens at the 8th level.

Eight modes in premium:

1. Brainshtor -combined mode, first you will show you a few words that you select which you should study, and what it's time to translate into "studied". Then the selected words will turn first in the word-translation mode, then in the word constructor.

2. Repetition – fast way Repeat words. The English word is given, you need to choose one of two options in 3 seconds.

Repetition mode - a quick way to repeat the saved words

3. Leo Sprint - high-speed training. For a minute, it is necessary to guess, the correct translation is proposed for English Word or not.

4. Crossword - From the words of your word, the crossword is compiled to solve. Very difficult task. There are no tips.

5. Audio calls -listen to the English word and choose one of five answers.

6. Collect offers - Training will help to learn how to understand. You need to listen to the offer and collect it from the proposed words.

7. Restore history - First we read the text for limited time, then the sentences are mixed, the task is to assemble the text again.

8. Pass the gaps - From the text, all the gaps are removed and it turns into one-bedding. You need to break it on words.

"Training" is realized interesting and diverse, they are quite enough to repetition and memorizing words in the materials.

Sections " Grammar and "Courses"

Obviously, Lingvaleo tries to offer the "English turnkey" user so that the language can be learned without leaving the site. Full learning would be unthinkable without grammar.

There are two sections for this: "Grammar" and "Courses".

"Grammar" - This is a grammar simulator plus a directory. Choose the topic and make up short phrases from words. Some tasks are available only with Premium-subscription.

Each course can be enabled for free in the demo mode.

For beginners teach English lightweight The way to raise your level is the online Lingualeo School. When studying complexity languages \u200b\u200bare inevitable. As a result, the motivation to learn language falls to zero. Today we will devote your review Lingualeo - a web service offering a completely different approach to the development of English. This site helps to practice or remember forgotten gaming form With the help of a personal dictionary, tasks, thematic sets of phrases and workouts.

Lingvaleo allows you to learn the language always and everywhere, because it makes it possible to use not only a computer, but also a tablet or phone if you download a special application. Lingualeo is suitable for students in different levels of English - from the initial up to above average. With this site, you can deal with an individual plan or master the huge amount of various materials in chaotic order. Lingvaleo and disadvantages, but about everything in order.

How is the learning process?

Such an interesting service name received thanks to the name of the game character Leo. Today B. online school Leo registered more than 6,000,000 people, mainly from the CIS countries and Russia. Why is Leo's service so popular?

The interest of users wishing to explore English in this interactive school is explained by the fact that instead of dry material and routine, the game technique is used. This approach causes increased interest not only in children, but also in adults.

The user at the disposal enters Lionke Leo, which every day you need to "feed." Feed is the inner "currency" of the service - Meatballs. The more you make useful actions, the faster the famine of the character is sank. Day norm of recommended volume educational material - "Food" depends on the level of English.

Meatballs allow you to add words to your personal dictionary to train them later. When they end, it is impossible to add words to your glossary, respectively, and perform exercises with them too.

The first 200 meatball user receives when registering on the site. In the future, this "gaming currency" needs to "earn". For this there are several ways:

1. Feed lion glass. For five days of classes and maintain 100% of the predator's satiety, you will receive additional meatballs and other bonuses.
2. Perform tasks that will give Leo. For the fulfillment of quests - get a good portion of meatballs.
3. Invite friends. When an invited friend of the fifth level is reached, 100 delicious bonuses will give you.

Of course, at any time you can pay a premium subscription (the old title "Golden Status") and, forgetting all the restrictions, use the maximum all the features of Lingualeo.

In addition, there are experience glasses on the site, which can also be obtained by performing a variety of tasks. Experience glasses are needed to eliminate some restrictions, for example, some workouts to study words open after receiving a character's character.

In total there are about 60 levels. Higher level users have access to useful free bonuses, which stimulates participants even more. Thus, Leo is not only entertaining character, but also an indicator of the accompanying effort.

Smart Lionok Leo will give the necessary tips, tells what action it is necessary to continue the journey through the jungle of English. You will learn new words and exercise in a variety of places: a lecture at the university, a queue to a doctor, a multi-kilometer traffic jam.

How is an individual approach system implemented?

If you do not know where to start learning English, then Lingvaleo comes to the rescue, the composition plan for you. Always with you there will be a red flavian, which will suggest what to do, where to press.

After registering on the site, you will immediately be asked to pass the test for the definition of the dictionary reserve and on the knowledge of the grammar of the English language, and then you will need to fill out the questionnaire - age, gender, interests. Based on their tests and personal data, special program will make an individual study plan for you, given the interests.

The study of English with Lingualeo is based on the individual plan as follows:

1. Free registration on the site.
2. Passing tests for knowledge of English vocabulary and grammar.
3. Filling a questionnaire with personal data.
4. The user goes to the "Tasks" section with their detailed description.
5. Pursuing a task for the task, the student develops its own language skills.

Tasks in Lingvalelo - this is an individual plan of classes, but do not perceive them, as the only right path that you need to go through. If you do not like the task, then from its execution you can refuse. The service simply suggests further actions, but you can ignore the program and do what you think needs.

The main sections of Lingvalelo

You can select four major sections and several subsections:

1. Materials are one of the main sections of the service where you can find information in English. It is possible to use the search to find content. For example, I was looking for the translation of the SCORPIONS song. Find the desired material, study it, incomprehensible words add to the dictionary by pressing the word in the text and choosing the most appropriate translation. After complete assimilation of the material, press the button "I understand all the text." For each phrase in the dictionary and a mastered lesson, you will receive experience to increase the level of lion.
2. Courses - Section where all video, audio, grammatical and other courses are collected. Here you can study or take articles, times, verbs and other grammar. Warning that most of the courses are paid. Access to them can be bought or open for "meatballs". Any course in the demo version is available for free.
3. Training - the third main section of the service, where you can practice and remember words. Several workout types are provided: Leo Sprint, Word-Translation, Bridge, Word Transfer, Designer, Word Cards. I will not describe them, share what is the "presentation method". Yes, and the site itself initially gives instructions and tips to make it easier to figure out the training system.
4. Grammar - is a grammar simulator and reference book. The user can choose the topic and from the proposed words you need to make phrases. By clicking "Show Rule", you will receive a brief reference with examples. Most tasks are available only for users with Premium account, paying which you get access to all sections and training, as well as an unlimited dictionary.
5. Words and phrases - subsection with whole "packs" of words and phrases in English according to a certain topic.
6. The dictionary is a subsection, which displays words added personally in the learning process. Here you can see the translation of the word, hear his pronunciation and familiarize yourself with the progress of learning.
7. Savannah - the semblance of a social network. You can invite friends here, search for users by age and level, create "Prides".
8. Communication is a separate section of the site to view the news feed. Here the materials studied by friends are displayed, other Linvaleo dialogues, etc.
9. Video with subtitles. Looking through the training videos with subtitles, you can always hover the cursor to an unknown word to see his translation, add to your personal dictionary.

As you notice, Lingvaleo has a huge base of educational materials of video and audio format, a variety of texts on any subject. It may be short interviews, small stories, dialogues for casual themes, jokes, jokes, movies news notes or just literary works. Enough to go to the "Materials" (the old name "Jungle") and choose a favorite topic.

The most convenient way to Lingualeo is reading. By clicking on any word, the translation instantly appears and you can add it from the dictionary, but only for the meatball! Not studied words are displayed on the right. They will appear all the time in different tasks and exercises until you remember them. However, in free regime, the number of such workouts is also limited.

Tip! For every 5th day of study on the site you get a super bonus. Very often - this is a premium account on one day. Use this day to the maximum: add to your personal dictionary, as many new words can be studied as possible.

Sometimes the service suits promotions with discounts and distributes promotion to official communities on social networks, so we advise you to subscribe to them and always monitor updates on the page.

Free mode and premium - Is it worth overpaying?

In total, 7 free modes (left column) of study and 5 modes are available only for premium subscribers (right column). At the same time, some free modes are opened, it is necessary to achieve a certain level.

Free Training Modes:

1. The word-translation is a traditional "multiple choice." You see the word in English, it gives several options for Russian-speaking translation. You need to choose the correct answer. Keep in mind that the word is given context and picture.
2. The translation-word is the same principle, but the word is demonstrated in Russian, you need to choose an English translation. In my opinion, a multiple selection allows only to pick up the word on the memory hook, but not to learn it.
3. Auditting - You hear the words you need to dial on the keyboard for rumors.
4. Savannah is a mini-game where lexemes fall from the sky in English, and you need to click on the right Russian translation. You can make a mistake, but one of the few lives burns.
5. Designer of words - from the cubes with the image of letters you need to collect the word. Well training spelling.
6. Designer phrases - a short phrase is shown in Russian, you need to collect translation. Opens only on the 8th level.
7. Word cards - standard double-sided cards. You see the word and click "I know" or "I don't know." Opened only at the 10th level.

Training in premium subscription:

1. Breinshtorm - Combined training. First you will see a few words from which you need to choose somewhat for study, and others - to translate into those that you know where they are driven in "word-translation" mode, then in the "Designer of the Words".
2. Leo Sprint - high-speed training. In 60 seconds it is necessary to guess whether the translation is proposed to English Word.
3. Repetition is a quick way to repeat the studied. The English word is offered, it is necessary to choose a Russian translation from two options in three seconds.
4. Audio calls - you listen to the word in English and choose from the five proposed answers of the answer faithful.
5. Crossword - from your personal dictionary is made up a small crossword, which you need to solve without tips.

Training is always built diverse and it is interesting that the study of English does not turn into a boring routine.

How does Lingualeo plugin work for a browser?

Huge thanks to the developers for the perfectly implemented expansion for the browser. Special plug-in Leopader allows you to add words to your dictionary from any resource you visited by you. Due to this, the time to appeal to the dictionary when reading texts is reduced to a minimum.

What should be done:

1. Download the extension.
2. Install it in the browser.
3. Being on any site, double click on needed wordto see his translation.
4. Highlight the word and right-click on it to "add to the dictionary".
5. If you select the phrase, click on it with the right mouse button, then the entire phrase is added to the dictionary.

This plugin is a very convenient tool even for those who own English at a high level. With the extension of the "Leopradder", you can read the text on any site and instantly translate unknown expressions, immediately adding them to the glossary.

The only note is to make information about this plugin more affordable, and then due to the fact that it is harnessed in the depths of the site, many users did not even hear about this wonderful expansion.

Final conclusions about Lingvaleo

Lingva Leo service is very good and has no analogues. He will not help you "explore English for the month," but regular classes are perfectly fill in the gaps of school and university education. The service is developing rapidly and complemented. Personally, I use Lingualeo constantly: I am looking for interesting training information, I translate songs and poems, train, pass courses.

The Lingualeo website is perfect for independent classes on individual recommendations, exercise reading and listening, teach phrases and words, practicing in grammar.

I am very interesting to see me sets of words. They may be thematic (times, emotions, colors, countries, family) or consist of top 100, 500, 1000 frequency english words. Phrasebooks are also good because they help learn the most necessary phrases to communicate on a specific topic.

However, you should not expect from the Lingualeo web resource of what it is not intended for. For example, it does not provide for training speech skills, no communication with online tutoring or English-speaking foreigners. Based on this, the audience is a weak place Lingvaleo. Texts are voiced not by native speakers, which makes it even more difficult to perceive English for rumor.

It would also be useful to finalize the section "Grammar", make it more visual and easy for memorization. For example, give the basic rules, declination and other basis of grammar in the form of tables and with highlighting key moments. It is inconvenient that grammatical training is divided into approval, the question and denial, which does not allow to visually compare and catch the difference.

Nevertheless, the Lingualeo service has a lot of opportunities:

• a huge base of educational materials: texts, video and audio;
• the possibility of expanding the vocabulary;
• thematic dictionaries with illustrative associations;
• personal dictionary with transcription and voice acting;
• the ability to select translation;
• grammatical exercises and video courses;
• perhaps learn without an Internet connection;
• effective training: audience, designer, translation of words;
• monitoring the progress of learning language in real time;
• you can study English for free;
• comfortable and beautiful interface;
• additions to browsers;
• applications for android and mobile phones;
• how much time to highlight to study you decide (30, 60, 120 minutes).

It is worth saying about the minuses:

• there is no section on the training of phonetic foundations;
• the "Grammar" section is not finalized;
• not always adapted translation, that is, if you need to translate the phrase, the service will translate each word separately, and not the entire phrase, which is why the translation does not always adequately displays the context;
• there is no possibility to communicate with speakers of the English language;
• not all sections are free;
• the app for androids is greatly inferior to the computer version.

At first, his confusion may seem the minus of the site, but this only when registering it will seem like this. We guarantee that if English is interested in you, then you are inserted into the game and will enjoy from studying in this interactive school every day. I recommend Lingualeo ( 124 estimates, average: 4,80 out of 5)

If you are just starting to learn a foreign language or, let's, we decided to improve your basic English, the difficulties are inevitable. It is expensive (payment of courses, tutor) and long (daily exercises for several years). In the case of self-education, the list of obstacles can be continued. As a result, it happens that motivation to study the language catastrophically falls.

Let's try to look at the situation otherwise: maybe it's all about learning? Today we will get acquainted with an interesting service that offers a completely different method of mastering English -.

How Lingualeo is arranged

Instead of dry educational material and routine in Lingualeo applies game method. A character is given to the user - Leo Leo, who needs to "feed" daily to maintain the form. Feed are meatballs, internal "currency" on the service that you can also pay for paid functions on the service. The more useful actions you make, the faster the character of the character quench.

On average, the recommended duration of classes per day is at least an hour. By the way, regularity is one of the most important vectors when learning a language, among others the creators of Lingualeo call a motivation to the study, perception of a living language, copying native speakers, regularity and optimal intensity.

The daily rate of "food" (that is, the recommended volume of educational material) directly depends on the level of owning the language specified in. That is, the lion is not only entertainment, but also an indicator how your requirements are consistent with the accompanying efforts.

The level increases as exercises, courses and other useful actions are performed, for which experience points are issued. The corresponding scale is located on the right side of the window, as well as on the profile page. After each fifth level, a new task is given, in total there are 59 levels. Experienced users have access to free bonuses, which is an additional stimulus.

In the profile, you can ask goals to achieve which, in fact, you need to raise the skills: "I want to prepare for TEFL test" or "I want to read books in the original" and others. Probably, at the moment these installations do not affect anything, the achievement of the goal you should mark yourself. As the developers say in their blog, useful recommendations will be drawn up later for each goal.

All information about progress in learning English can be learned from. The schedule "Execution of the Plan for the Week" shows how long you deviate from the course, how many points you need to earn to go to the next level.

If you close your eyes on tips and tips, it is difficult to start a familiarity with the "Tyk Method" service. It is better not to act blindly, but still familiarize yourself with the current tasks that Lingualeo offers. To do this, in the center of the window, downstairs click the "Current Task" button. After performing several tasks, it will become clear, for which experience points are issued and what should be done in the first place.

You can highlight 3 training sections - "Jungle", "Courses" and "Training".

We accumulate experience in the jungle

Collection of texts, audio and video, only about 130 thousand materials. All content can be sorted by genres, topics, sources, also make filtering in terms of complexity (set by the criteria of text length and used words). Dana Freedom of action: Choose what you are interested in movies, music, lectures, and MN. Dr. and combine pleasant with useful. Selected materials are transferred to the "Determination" tab.

With all this variety, however, there is an imbalance: an average level of complexity is estimated only 3.1 thousand results, an easy-to-94 thousand. Another small spoon of tar - audio and video are available from open sources, such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dotsub, Librivox And often the right holders remove them. Therefore, from time to time it is necessary to deal with non-working content. However, on the Added tab, you can add your own material.

Drug Device

Development, from the point of view of the service, is Lingualeo replenishment. When reading the text, you need to click on unfamiliar words and choose one of the transfer options in the right pane. From above from options there are buttons for use google services Translate, Multitran and others that offer an alternative translation option, often more accurate and multivariate. In addition to other things, in the dictionary you can add whole phrases, the translation is displayed at the bottom right of the side panel when you hover on an unfamiliar string. True, the distribution of phrases resembles the "good old" Google Translate, which sometimes distracts from understanding the text.

In addition to the transfer options, an associative picture is attached to each word, which helps to remember the word visually, as well as transcription and voice acting - for absorption proponunciation. The added word is used in context and in the form in which it was found. The context can be changed at its discretion.

Amenities for the sake of, you can install (for now Chrome, Firefox Internet Explorer) for the translation of words, phrases and add them to the Lingualeo dictionary. Translation is carried out by double clicking or through the context menu of the browser. It is required to pre-log in at the Lingualeo service.

Thematic sets of words are available for various spheres of use (business, tourism, science, it, etc.), which can also be sent to the dictionary. Here is a list of incorrect verbs, useful adjectives, nouns and other information, useful for studying English grammar, for example, in the section "Courses".

Consolidation of Knowledge - Word Simulator

The words added to the dictionary are stored not just for chronology, but postponed for active. It can be noted that the circle is located to the right of each term, which displays the progress of learning.

The fastening of the material occurs in three stages, although training species - seven. Words that have successfully passed one stage, go to another. Locked (incorrectly guessed) words go "on ripening", that is, you return to the dictionary and learn them again. Maturation works according to the "interval repetition" method, that is, within 6 you will not encounter repeated terms.

The easiest stage of the training is to choose the right Russian translation of the word. It is noted that the words added to the dictionary are not initially mixed, and perform the tasks on the easiest level of complexity becomes somewhat simpler, as the "chronology of events" is restored. Word Designer - the average level of complexity: the word is given in Russian, you need to translate it into English and at the same time enter it in the field. And finally, auditing is a high level of complexity, since the answer options are not presented, speech is perceived by rumor. Optional and most complex mode - crossword, in the free version is not available.

The most interesting training called Bridge. To work with it, you need a microphone or headset. This is an interactive game: Live opponent is connected to you, your task is to pronounce words written in cards and, in turn, to correctly guess the pronounced opponent. A set of words, of course, is composed of your dictionary. Words easily guess, because there are options for an answer, so this type of training would be correct to attribute to a light level.

Deepening knowledge on courses

Courses on Lingualeo were introduced relatively recently and, judging by the reviews, have long been in demand by users.

Courses are divided into grammatical and video courses of medium duration of 2-4 hours. And those and others can be used for free either to buy for meatballs or for real rubles. Grammar covers times and parts of speech - in a total account of 14 courses. Each course consists of a set of rules, exercises and test. Answer version, as in tests, you need to choose from available or add your own. At the end of each course an assessment is set.

On the one hand, the courses resemble standard exercises from textbooks in English grammar. It is much more convenient to learn from them: you don't need to write a pen in a notebook or look for keys in applications. You can instantly see the error and see the appropriate rule.

On the other hand, classic grammar textbooks are much better fixed knowledge. Exercise exercises in Lingualeo are relatively small, the theory of compressed and not everywhere is accompanied by illustrations. But it is impossible to judge strictly. Lingualeo service is very young, and textbooks have been published and reprinted over the years. This requires the involvement of resources, specialists and other investments.

Video courses are available in the same section in the next tab. They are an order of magnitude less than grammatical, only five: "Features of nutrition", "friends", "visit to the restaurant", "Money", "work". But they are more interactive and more interesting to pass. Initially, it is proposed to watch video, then you need to answer questions about situations. You can familiarize yourself with the text, translate unfamiliar words and take advantage of the prompts. At the end of the course an estimate is set.

Important note. Free on the Lingualeo service only the base level. His, at first, is quite enough. Experienced users in the comments on the service complain about "some limitations". But, fortunately, Lingualeo does not require money at every step. Restrictions are superimposed, in particular, the courses are paid. You can buy courses like a piece and one package. All prices are directly in the section "Courses". Opens full access to all service functions for 12 months.

Social Savannah

Savannah is a kind of social network, its origin. It will not be surprising if in a few years it will meet and share tens of thousands of users. So far, the possibilities of "savanna" are very limited: here you can invite friends from social networks Or other services, search for users by the level of abstract English and age. Analogue "Add to Friends" - Pride. You can add users from the pride from which you want to receive news: achievements marked with "Jungle" and other updates.

The idea with the "savanna" promising, and in the future I would like to use it for joint translations, as well as their discussion, crosant sociality with convenient commenting tools.

Conclusion

Lingualeo will not help "learn the language of perfection for the month." But daily classes are perfectly fought by school and higher education - Often it is the absence of elements of the game, interactivity, individual approach.

According to the service developers, it is planned to introduce other support foreign languages. Well, we will wait for these and other improvements from Lingualeo.

English with Leo is a program for learning English on Android. It is designed for both children and adults. Information is fed at two levels of perception: visual and sound.

The application is stylized for an old map, which will lead Lion Leo. The level of knowledge of the language can be selected immediately, at the first entrance to the game. At the same time, a learning account is also created, which allows the program to memorize your successes and failures. Based on this data, exercises and a dictionary for studying new words are formed. The application "English with Leo" can be synchronized with the account in Google, and then, if there is an Internet in the phone or tablet, it will be able to remind you of classes. It will also be possible to acquire additional updates.

Features of learning English with Leo

The entire program is built in a game form, you are offered to perform several exercises to feed the hungry lion leo. For the right answers, you get meatballs, which figure the virtual assistant.

Learning English with Leo is carried out on all levels necessary for full-fledged communication. Every time, at the entrance to the account, it will be proposed to choose words to explore the most diverse topics, for example: "For food", "phrase verbs", "family members" and so on. After words are viewed and selected for study, you can move to training.

Four types of exercises are presented in training: word-translation, translation, word constructor and listening. Each of the exercises fixes the knowledge of a certain layer of the language. The words presented in English are constantly duplicated by a voice, which allows, simultaneously with the practice of translation, practicing and pronunciation. In addition, all the words are equipped with pictures with the image being studied. For those who have a well-developed visual and associative memory is a real find.

The results of classes are remembered by the application, if an account was created in the game. This allows you to increase the difficulty of learning the language and receive new knowledge individually.
