We thought it was time we looked again at this fundamental question. Over the past 9 months we have developed the widget, guided by the requests of our members, and the limits of our own resources.
We have added:
- ‘listen’ word recordings (provided both free - user generated, or from a speaking avatar via a subscription service)
- A test
- Grammatical info
- Multiple languages
- ‘write’ common phase translator
- ’share’ - directory of useful language resources
- twitter feeds (providing the words as RSS as well)
- a facebook application
We are currently developing:
- a daily email (free)
- sms service (pre-register via the ‘my account’ page on the widget, $0.20 US per message)
- a screensaver ($9.95 US per year or included in the premium package)
For us, the most exciting part of the project is the use of the techniques of the advertising industry in learning - to this end we are building partnerships with other sites so that we can maximise the number of times a day you will come into contact with the materials you want to learn. Please get in contact if you have space to join our affiliate scheme - making the learnit daily words available in a variety of standard advert sizes.
