Improved course layout

Submitted by Hugh on 24 June 2016

I am pleased to announce improved course layout pages. For example, the Themed Thai Courses now look as follows:

Basically the idea is to display a lot more courses at a glance. This will make it easier to select the course you want without having to scroll and scroll.

For comparison, here is the old layout:

Mastery Scores and High Scores constantly displayed

Submitted by Hugh on 2 April 2016

One of the small but powerful changes recently has been the addition of your Mastery Scores and your High Scores at the top of the page whenever you are logged in.

This is a very useful addition to help keep you motivated to improve.

It will show your overall score for Thai, and then that value broken down into the your mastery of words and of phrases. Finally, if you are within a lesson, it will show you what your mastery of that lesson is.

Can you beat your high score?

Courses

Submitted by Hugh on 4 September 2015

I'm very pleased with a recent addition to Lingopolo: Courses. A course is basically a twinned pair of:

  • a vocabularly lesson (e.g. Vegetables)
  • an examples lesson (e.g. Vegetables Examples)

In the vocabularly lesson you will find just the words on their own. In the examples lesson, you will find all the example phrases which use these words.

If you have been using Lingopolo recently, you cannot possibly have missed the latest addition: gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, funny, lovely photos!

Many, many of the words, and quite a few of the phrases, and even one or two of the dialogues now have photos, for example:

And now that many words and phrases have photos, the summary page for each lesson gets its own slideshow of photos from that lesson:

New Thai-English dictionary and other dictionary improvements

Submitted by Hugh on 16 July 2015

I'm very pleased to announce the addition of a Thai-English dictionary, together with many other dictionary improvements.

Firstly, the Thai-English dictionary. This is something which I've had in mind to add for a very long time, every since the creating the English-Thai dictionary. It's now available and, as a student of Thai myself, I find it very interesting to look at an alphabetic list of words all beginning with the same letter.
