App to help you learn foreign languages
Here is an app that would teach you a foreign language without eating up your precious time! The researchers have developed the app to fill the time gap we spend waiting for a friend or co-worker to respond while we are chatting on GChat. WaitChatter, a Chrome extension for GChat, generates interactive foreign language vocabulary exercises, so you can make the most of your time as a conversation partner is typing out a response.
New York: Here is an app that would teach you a foreign language without eating up your precious time! The researchers have developed the app to fill the time gap we spend waiting for a friend or co-worker to respond while we are chatting on GChat. WaitChatter, a Chrome extension for GChat, generates interactive foreign language vocabulary exercises, so you can make the most of your time as a conversation partner is typing out a response.
This integrated approach, called 'wait-learning', is far less likely to be perceived as time consuming or intrusive compared to using a separate learning app. WaitChatter has been tested in two languages, French and Spanish. In a two-week pilot study, WaitChatter users learned an average of four words per day.
The system pulls words from both a built-in list and from the user's ongoing chat conversations. For example, people discussing their pets might be quizzed on terms about animals, while those chatting about an upcoming Starbucks date will learn words for "coffee" and "tea".
