HIK - Harjuta Inglise Keelt (Practice English Language)
It has been one of my oddnesses - if I go to language courses I write some programm to practice vocabulary. In 1994...1996 I wrote program HaSaKe (Practice German Language) for practicing German, and rewrote it into Espanol (study Spanish).
In aughtum 2005 I joined English courses at firm Studium and now I have this web enviroment.
Practicing of numbers is free, vocabularies are password protected. You can log in with Tartu Tamme Kool´s gmail account to unlock vocabularies.
The user interface is bilingual: Estonian and English. In most cases, only the user interface texts change, but in some cases there are also differences in the content. For example, if you are tired of writing numbers in Estonian, you can practice spelling numbers in English by switching to the Estonian user interface.
The website menu consists of four parts:
- Look - activities where many words are shown at once and no feedback is given.
- Practice - the words are shown one by one and you are asked whether you knew them correctly or not. There is no control. You yourself have to be diligent to find all the mistakes you have made. In the case of numbers, you choose the number you want to see in different languages.
- Test - words or numbers are asked one by one and it is checked whether you enter the same word that is in the dictionary letter by letter (not distinguishing between upper and lower case letters).
- Choose - you can
- choose the user interface language (Estonian or English);
- by default, select the course (level) and chapter (unit) for the rest of the activities (you can still use all courses, but the one you choose here will be offered first;
- log in and out.
Please report errors to urmas @ tamme.tartu.ee. I'm also happy to use someone's help to reduce typos and improve translations.
