Contents on this Page

This is Page 3 of the 4 page online Tutorial

The pictures and examples have been mainly taken from the 200 Words a Day! Learn French program, but they are very similar in all these languages.

It is important to play around with the various settings to see what suits you best, and what suits your own learning style best.

Check your Language Lesson Scores & Progress

The Review Progress icon is the microscope.

You'll see your scores, and time spent on Tests & Lessons, plus:

• your Rate of Learning in 'Words per Day'
• and a full break-down of all the lessons & tests you've done
• and time spent on them.
