Practice Smarter with Our New Coach
Let the Coach choose your next practice
Start with a random practiceComing to you from the heatwave! This update has been months in the making.
“How’s it going? Cuyler here. Uh, so I finally added something that I’ve wanted to add for a long, long, long time, and it’s—it’s live now. It’s version one. I call it The Coach.
It basically looks and listens to what you’re doing on the site—what practice you do, how you do in that practice—and then it recommends something new based on what it sees.
The main thing it’s looking at is the vocab that you’re acquiring. Uh, the next thing it’s looking at is how fast you can handle the—the language, and where you could try next. And finally, it’s looking at the intensity about how difficult a clip might be, and that’s what this looks at.
It’s version one, so it’ll continue to improve, it’ll continue to change. Um, but I invite you to check it out, to take a quiz when you’re logged in and see what it recommends. But I think it’ll be something pretty interesting.
So it works a couple different ways. One is when you’re inside a series and you get the little notification from the Coach, generally it wants to keep you in the series. It might have you redo that clip for a little bit more challenge, it might move you to the next one. It’ll be constantly looking at the challenge that you’re—you’re handling and scaling up or down, so you don’t have to set anything in the quizzes. It’ll know what to do.
Um, and alternatively, if you leave the site for a while, it’ll give you the next best recommendation that—that—that it thinks is the best coaching possible, the next practice that you should definitely do. Uh, it’ll send that to you.”
We’ll continue to enhance the project. I’m excited to hear how this update benefits your French skills.
