This is facilitated by exercises that emphasise memorisation through reiterative exposure to each phrase, and most especially repeated immersive exposure to the sound of each phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app content is designed so that learners can build mental templates of the language&#8217;s most common structures. And based on these patterns the learner can themselves construct and create new phrases. And recognise new combinations when listening and interacting in the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core theoretical principle employed by &#8216;Phrases&#8217; in facilitating adult language learning is &#8216;immersive exposure&#8217;. Immersive exposure is the key to effective language learning. It&#8217;s a proven method called &#8216;contextual immersion&#8217;. The app facilitates immersion through reiteration, repetition, memorisation and re-enforcement of over a thousand commonly used colloquial phrases &#8211; all with native speaker audio and contextual notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested please follow this link: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/declansoftware.com\/phrases\/beta?fbclid=IwAR1QEud3oonD3wwJILWgrk7EzOSjroGtY_HZz6d28MlQi9LQsZwkgl2fjpY\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/declansoftware.com\/phrases\/beta<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would very much welcome your comments, suggestions and corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please feel free to share with your friends, family and fellow students.
