On the Words page you can browse the wordlists available to you. You will find there the following categories:
You can easily readd the items you rejected while learning or removed from Repetitions. All you need to do is go to the wordlist management page. It includes a full list of items from wordlists. Below the rejected items, there is a link which will allow you to readd them to Repetitions.
Some items are included in multiple wordlists. For example, an item can be included in a lesson and also occur on thematic lists in the Words tab. If you add an item from one of these lists to Repetitions, the progress in completing other lists including this item will be updated automatically. The system will remember that you have added this word to Repetitions and won’t display it to you again while adding the items of other lists to Repetitions.
In order to make the learning easier, the learning system automatically goes to the first item which hasn’t been added to Repetitions yet or has been rejected.
As for wordlists, it is required either to add the items to Repetitions or reject them (enter key + space bar). If you only look through the items, you will not complete the lesson page.
As for lesson pages with an assigned exercise, it is required to complete this exercise in order to complete this lesson page.
When you look through a wordlist, you see the items one by one. You can see a particular item and its translation, usually with pronunciation, recording (the icon), picture and example sentence. By selecting a button, you choose to add the item to Repetitions or skip it.
The items on a wordlist are displayed one by one. If you want to speed up looking through the items, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:
adding the item
|
|
removing the item from repetitions
|
|
skipping/rejecting the item
|
|
playing recordings assigned to the item (keys K and L correspond to the second and third recording,
respectively, if they are assigned to the item
|
|
you can play the recording of example sentences with M, "," and "." keys (even if they’re not displayed at the moment)
|
Tip: The J, used to replay the recordings of words, has a special bump, so it is easy to find on the keyboard.
You can do the lessons and exercises in your eTutor course as many times as you want. You can go back to previously completed lessons at any time. We don’t impose a rigid learning plan – you have access to all course lessons throughout the subscription period.
In accordance with the Terms and Regulations of the platform, one account can be used only by one person. The system optimises the learning process of the user based on the collected progress data – learning process optimisation would not be possible if the account has been used by more than one person.
