Every sentence and every word in the practical dialogues provide both natural and literal translations. In addition, each individual word is linked to a specific grammar explanation. Verbs are directly linked to a conjugation chart. Study vocabulary and grammar in the direct context of a dialogue. Natural translations of sentences are translations that are written exactly the way you would express something in English. You need natural translations to immediately understand what is meant in all parts of your language course. Literal translations of words and sentences are translations that follow the structure and grammar rules of the foreign language. You need literal translations to immediately understand how a native speaker thinks and expresses himself, which is frequently completely different from English. The major benefit of natural and literal translations is that they enable you to learn with direct comparison to your mother tongue, which makes you understand and progress much faster. What makes learning effective and fun with STROKES language courses is that you use the 5 different learning channels of reading, hearing, writing, speaking and picture association in a variety of 36 types of exercises. The Vocabulary Trainer STROKES language courses come with an intelligent vocabulary trainer, which you can use to review all the words of a single dialogue at a time, a combination of dialogues or for all the dialogues you have learned. By integrating the vocabulary trainer in your daily lesson plan, you ensure that you never forget the words you have already learnt as you go along. The Grammar Trainer STROKES language courses include a complete grammar with examples from the real-life dialogues. Each grammar topic is linked to the dialogues, which allows you to learn and review grammar topics one by one and by direct reference to the sentences of the dialogues in which the topics occur.
