How does EnglishCentral work?

Watch-Learn-Speak modes

The basic ways to study on EnglishCentral are

1. watching videos (the WATCH mode)
2. learning words (the LEARN mode) and
3. speaking lines (the SPEAK mode).

In most courses on EnglishCentral you will automatically go through these modes for each video in the course. At the end of each unit in a course you will be quizzed.

Choosing (more) words to learn and lines to speak

When working on a video you can choose to learn more words (in LEARN mode) and speak more lines (in SPEAK mode). Choosing more than the default words and signes suggested will slow you down. But in most cases studying slowly means you will remember more and make steady progress towards your goal.

Quiz yourself, work on pronunciation and speaking

On top of basic WATCH-LEARN-SPEAK modes, we also encourage you to regularly go to the personalized "Vocabulary" and "Speaking" sections of EnglishCentral and quiz yourself.

Immediate feedback

When you work on EnglishCentral, you receive immediate and automatic feedback from the system. This way you can improve and achieve your learning goals.

The best way to improve your English

The sure way to make progress is to exercise regularly for at least 6 weeks. If you study 5 - 7 days a week for 30 minutes to an hour you are fine. This is much better than studying many hours on 1 or 2 days in a week.
