Next generation language shower for all ages
– activating your ear for languages |
The best way to learn language naturally is through spoken language, not written text. During the interactive exercises pupils will hear words and structures spoken in may different ways before seeing them in written form. TrumpCards 100 begins by training keen and precise hearing. The underlying idea is that pupils will learn by doing and, as they do these exercises, their 'ear for languages' will constantly improve. Even when practising written language. |

”I love the program because I can make mistakes without anyone ever knowing how slow or dense I really am. You're not punished for your mistakes, instead you're guided forward and rewarded for answering correctly. Even if my 'teacher' is a native French speaker, I know they won't laugh at me or get frustrated with me because, in actuality, I'm being coached by an ever-cheerful and polite computer program.” |

Whenever, wherever –
a native language coach will be your guide at home and at school
TrumpCards 100 is also suitable for training language independently at home. A native language coach will guide the learner through the learning path - using clear instructions, with a computer's patience, and as many times as necessary. Working with the program has been proven to strengthen the learner's belief in themselves and in their abilities as a language learner as doing the exercises will improve their vocabulary and listening comprehension skills almost as if by itself.
The program can be easily integrated into the teaching plan as additional or alternative teaching material. Its use is not limited to the computer class but can be used both during lessons and at home. It is also suitable for pupils at different stages of learning. |

| ”If you want learning to be efficient, it is obvious that a student sitting in front of a computer practising, say, English will answer more questions within half an hour than a student sitting in class. The computer will ask a new question as soon as the student has answered the previous one. The student is constantly working. In class they might doze off and maybe answer one question, assuming the teacher themselves is awake.” |
