How many words should I practice at once?
Short sessions work best. Each round has up to 12 words. Repeat the ones you missed, then switch to another exercise or read a story that uses them.
Where do the words and sentences come from?
Every word and example sentence comes from an Inklingo story written for learners, so you practice vocabulary the way it is really used. The meanings shown are the ones the word has in those sentences.
