Study Modes

SynchroTales provides multiple study modes for users looking to take a focused approach to language acquisition. The existing study modes and their intended use-cases are as follows:

• Alternate: The alternate mode is intended for extensive listening in cases where you would prefer not to look at the phone or computer screen. Unlike the Input mode, you will progress through the entirety of the story in a logical and comprehensible manner, which generally makes the experience more engaging.

• Flashcards: The flashcard mode is primarily used to help the software form an estimate of one's current passive vocabulary, which facilitates use of the Input mode. It also solidifies understanding of individual words and helps with retention of previously learned vocabulary.

• Input: The input mode is designed to present your target language in context but just outside your current level of understanding. It is used for improving listening and reading comprehension, and leverages the scores recorded from the Flashcard mode.
