Forget Words as Fast as You Learn Them? You're Memorizing Words, Not Expressions
You may have memorized a dozen meanings of "run," yet when you see "I'm running a little late," you still hesitate for a second.
Vocabulary lists pull words out of sentences and set them in front of you, all alone. But nobody uses a language word by word. We use it in expressions.
TalkMorrow's Three Types of Cards
TalkMorrow collects what's worth learning from each vlog into three types of cards, all taken from real sentences in the videos:
Word cards (5,309)
Phonetic transcription, part of speech, definitions and example sentences, plus the exact sentence in the video where the word appears.
Phrase cards (3,781)
Phrasal verbs and common collocations, with context and pronunciation audio. Think figure out, end up, run out of.
Expression cards (1,813)
The part that makes English sound natural: an explanation, when to use it, and similar ways to say the same thing. Learn one expression and you get several options to choose from.
Cards Stay Connected to the Video
TalkMorrow's cards aren't just another vocabulary book. Every card takes you back to the sentence where it appeared, so you can always go back and hear the tone and situation the creator used it in.
While you watch, key words are color-highlighted in the subtitles; tap one to see its meaning. When you find something you want to remember, save it as a card with one tap.
Review: Know It or Not?
In "English Cards," you can organize all your cards across videos, review them by type, and mark each one "I know this" or "Still learning." Keep practicing the ones you don't know yet and set aside the ones you do, so your time goes where it's actually needed.
When you're signed in, card status syncs across your computer, phone and tablet. Save cards while watching on your laptop, then flip through them on your phone during your commute.
A Small Tip
After each video, save no more than three expressions, and try to use each one in a sentence about your own life. A few well-chosen cards beat a hundred saved cards you never review.
