Language practice

Choose a language, then practise its grammar, vocabulary, culture or writing.

WORKSPACE

Pick a task before a language tab. Choose the language you want to use, then work on one small task. Reading a script, learning a grammar rule and responding in conversation need different practice.

How to use this
  1. Need to speak today?

    Choose a language and start with Survival. Practise the reply as well as the phrase you say first.

  2. Need to read?

    Use Writing systems for recognition, Pronunciation for spelling-to-sound rules, and Kanji + Hanzi for character and word study.

  3. Need to build sentences?

    Read a grammar rule, work through its example, then answer without looking. Check Vocabulary and Culture to see how the words are used.

Try this: Choose German. Find a survival exchange and say both parts aloud. Change one noun using the grammar explanation instead of memorizing a second whole sentence.

You should get: You can make one small variation and explain why the form changes. If you cannot, revisit that rule before adding more phrases.

Know the limit: Track depth varies. A chart is a reference, and recognizing an answer is not the same as producing it in a conversation.

Start with pronunciation

Latin alphabet & accents

Aa · Ññ · Łł

Recognise the shared letter shapes, then learn the sound rules of your chosen language. Letter names here are identifiers, not universal pronunciations.

Latin letters developed from earlier Italic alphabets. Languages adapted them with diacritics, combinations, and additional letters.

Read
Left to right. Uppercase and lowercase are paired.
Practise
Copy your name; mark every accent in a short sentence. Do not strip accents when learning spelling.
Sounds
English, French, Polish, German, Romanian and other languages assign different sounds to the same letters.
