(Very) Dynamic vocabulary building with Quizlet

Since a lot of the linguistic aspect of the course will be around memorizing vocabulary, I thought we need some

In Ecuisine, the main aspect of the language course will be around learning vocabulary. There are some really good tools on the Internet to automatizes vocabulary learning (this is something machines are really good at !).

Quizlet is my favourite of these tools. It's an easy to use tool based on the concept of flash cards. You just enter a list of words and their translation or definition and it automatically generates flash cards. See for yourself :





This is the learning mode. The great thing is that it lets user work how they want : do you want to see terms in both languages ? Only one language ? Which one ? Do you want to hear them as well ? Do you need to reshuffle terms ? Answer to those questions belong to user and are only one click away ! Plus its fast !

But Quizlet also generates different types of quizz. You can then share and embed those quizzes anywhere :
 


The "Speak it" is a new feature ! Try it ! It's a great way to test understanding ! It's vocal synthesis but it sounds ok most of the time.

It also generates a "dispersion" game that is a drag and drop matching game :



Quizlet is free to use but limited. Quizlet Plus costs 15$ which I think is a bargain for what it has to offer.
