Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the best way to memorize conversational phrases?
Repeat them aloud after the speaker. Use the audio trainer for listening, and the phrase trainer for typing practice.
How many phrases should I learn daily?
We recommend focusing on 5-10 new phrases every day. Consistency is more important than quantity.
Why is it better to learn whole phrases instead of individual words?
Learning ready-made chunks helps you speak faster, sound more natural, and avoid spending time thinking about grammar.
