Discover English

Learning a foreign language is always a challenge and people have begun to rely more and more on specialized software, in addition to courses.

Discover English is one of the apps that can be of use to those trying to get familiarized with English, especially to children (but not only to them).

It needs to be emphasized right from the get-go that this utility does not aim to replace a traditional course since it does not tackle subjects like pronunciation.

Instead, it can be used alongside such a course, due to its intuitive interface - although some might argue that it feels somewhat old-school.

The lessons are grouped according to their difficulty level and, once you create an account, you can start learning about verbs, nouns, adjectives, prepositions, adverbs and idioms.

Depending on the lesson you choose, you get to read theoretical details and information, along with various examples.

Some lessons only come with suggested sentences that will later on be used during the test. Unfortunately, these examples are limited in number, which means that some pupils might get to learn them by heart and cheat during their tests.

Considering Discover English is mainly created for youngsters, there is no countdown timer to stress them and, due to an animated character, they can get instant feedback when taking a test. Alternatively, you can set the app to check the answers’ accuracy only at the end of the quiz.

Since each user needs to create a new account before using this app, their activity is logged in the background, thus making it easier for the teacher to review it. More precisely, adults can examine the tests taken by the students, their performance and the mistaken answers, which allows them to identify and correct errors later on.

Discover English might not look too impressive at first glance, but its many tests and quizzes can prove helpful when you want to learn or improve your skills in English.
