How many of you subscribe to our German Word of the Day<\/a>? (If you\u2019re not subscribed\u2014don\u2019t miss out!)<\/p>\n

How many of you open the email religiously, read and listen to the new word and phrase, then close the email and forget all about it? We\u2019re not judging\u2014you\u2019re not the only one!<\/p>\n

That minute or two of engagement isn\u2019t enough for the average learner. Most of us have to\u00a0do more<\/em>\u00a0to really learn and remember the day\u2019s word. Until now, we\u2019ve left that up to you, but no longer! I am thrilled to announce the German Word of the Day course now available in Transparent Language Online. Word of the Day devotees, you\u2019re going to love this\u2026 here are just a few reasons why.<\/p>\n

\"WOTD-German-1\"1. Words you\u2019ll actually use\u2026 and some for laughs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Word of the Day content is unlike anything you\u2019ll find in a textbook or on audio tape. These lessons cover the actual spoken language\u2014you know, those words and phrases you always wanted to ask your teacher about, but never quite built up the courage to do so.<\/p>\n

2. Do more, remember more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We remember about 10-20% of what we read or hear, but up to 80-90% of what we\u00a0do.\u00a0Unfortunately, opening an email or retweeting doesn\u2019t really count as\u00a0doing. The Word of the Day courses let you interact with those new words and phrases we send to your email through listening, speaking, reading, and writing\u2014now that\u2019s a lot to do.<\/p>\n

3. Learn in context.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s fun to receive a new word and phrase in your email each day. But it\u2019s effective to really engage with it long after that email is buried in your inbox. With\u00a0Fill in the Blank\u00a0and\u00a0Matching,\u00a0you can dissect each phrase and understand how the pieces fit together.<\/p>\n

4. Speak up!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re learning a language, chances are you want to be able to\u00a0speak\u00a0it.\u00a0Pronunciation Practice\u00a0lets you compare your accent to that of a native speaker, while\u00a0Multiple Choice\u00a0lets you select the correct answer using only your voice!<\/p>\n

5. Test yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it \u2013 we all hated exams in school. But how do you measure what you actually know? Each lesson includes an assessment, so you can put your Word of the Day knowledge to the test.<\/p>\n

6. Keep it fresh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One word per day adds up quickly, so it\u2019s easy to let a few words slip. But don\u2019t fear! These courses are tied to a unique refresh system in the program that keeps track of what you\u2019ve learned and reminds you to practice older words periodically. We want you to remember all 365 new words at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
