Vocabtivate Guide
Vocabtivate™ is a dynamic, personalized game that expands your vocabulary. It automatically populates with words from your Ada™ conversations and lessons, so the vocabulary you practice is directly relevant to your learning. You can also add your own words to customize your experience.
What if the words in the game are unfamiliar?
That is the point! Vocabtivate™ is designed to challenge you with words at the edge of your knowledge. Each word includes context and definitions to help you learn. Over time, repeated practice turns unfamiliar words into part of your active vocabulary.
Does Vocabtivate™ help with listening skills?
Yes. Vocabtivate™ includes audio pronunciation for every word, so you can hear and practice the correct pronunciation as you study. This reinforces both your reading and listening comprehension.
Can I add my own words?
Absolutely. You can add any word or phrase manually. This is especially useful for industry-specific terminology, new words you encounter at work, or vocabulary from outside your NEI lessons.
How does the game help me learn from full sentences?
Vocabtivate™ presents words in the context of full sentences drawn from your Ada™ conversations and other sources. This contextual approach helps you understand how words are actually used, not just their dictionary definitions.
How does vocabulary circulation work?
Vocabtivate™ uses a spaced repetition system. Words you answer correctly are shown less frequently, while words you struggle with appear more often. This ensures you spend your practice time on the vocabulary that needs the most attention.
Bookmark Vocabtivate™ on your phone’s home screen for convenient daily access. A quick 5-minute session during your commute or coffee break is a great way to build vocabulary consistently.
