‚Topics‘ vs ‚Leveled‘ Phrasebooks
Up until now, the Phrasebooks available in Hello Pal have been ‚Topics‘ Phrasebooks, where the phrases are categorized by topic and subject matter, such as ‚Work and Study‘, ‚Interests‘, ‚Responses‘.
The new ‚Leveled‘ Phrasebooks contain phrases which are categorized by levels, starting from Level 1 with the most commonly-used phrases, and progressing to higher levels according to the phrase’s frequency of usage or difficulty.
Leveled Phrasebooks contain 12 phrases per level, and there are 10 levels so far for each language, with many more to come.
Why Leveled Phrasebooks?
1. Structured Course for Self-Study
For those interested in learning the language, learning phrases can now be done in a structured, step-by-step way. Simply start with Level 1, then move on to Level 2, then to 3, and so on without having to figure out what to learn next.
2. Upcoming Game Modes Using Leveled Phrasebooks
Version 2.0 of Hello Pal will introduce a whole new ‚Play‘ section:
This ‚Play‘ section will allow you to play language-related games (single-player and multi-player). The first games that will be introduced will rely heavily on the Leveled Phrasebooks, starting with simple ’self-test‘ games for each level. Stay tuned for further announcements on this!
