From this post, you will learn about language immersion, one of the methods of foreign language learning, and get to know the latest feature – MemoChat, which will help you practice free, natural conversations in many languages.
What is language immersion? It’s a technique that involves surrounding yourself with a particular language to the extent that it becomes an integral part of everyday life. It’s not just learning at school or from a textbook, but also immersing in the language through various daily activities, such as conversations, writing, watching movies, reading books, listening to podcasts, and even thinking in that language. Regular use of a language is ultimately the best way to achieve fluency in speaking.
Introduce the method of language immersion into your daily life and test your language skills in practice with the feature available in SuperMemo.
Get to know MemoChat
One of the latest ways to immerse yourself in any foreign language is learning with MemoChat. This is the first opportunity to learn through interactive dialogues in the style of a role-playing game (RPG). How does it work? Your task is to take on a role and conduct a conversation in such a way as to achieve a specific dialogue goal. Each conversation is a unique experience of learning a foreign language in practice, all thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, which dynamically adapts to your statements.
Using this feature, you practice natural conversations on various topics, where you use key skills influencing language proficiency: writing, reading, speaking, and listening.
You will find the feature in the web application and mobile apps for the Android and iOS system by clicking on the Dialogues tab.
What does learning with MemoChat offer?
- You practice conversations in one of several foreign languages at a basic level (A1-A2), and soon also at higher levels of proficiency.
- You choose from 24 conversation topics. Among them, you’ll find dialogues taking place at the airport, in restaurants, hotels, work, and at home. More will be added soon! This way, you can practice conversations in a foreign language in various life situations and prepare well, for example, for a business trip or upcoming vacations.
- You develop all the skills necessary for good command of a foreign language: writing, reading, speaking, and listening. Tools such as a speech synthesizer and Whisper (speech recognition) assist you in this.
- At any moment, you can get support in the form of translations, error corrections, or sentence suggestions that can help you if you’re unsure of how to proceed in the dialogue. These additional functionalities within MemoChat make learning convenient and enjoyable, as you don’t need to use a dictionary and can immediately see what needs more work to avoid making the same mistakes.
- At the end, you receive feedback on how you did in the task. This lets you know what you have mastered well and what still needs to be repeated.
- You learn new vocabulary tailored to the chosen dialogue topic. If words appear during the conversation that you don’t yet know or want to remember better, you can add them to your MemoCards immediately after the conversation ends (up to 10 terms from a single dialogue). This allows you to return to them later and learn them using the intelligent repetition method.
