Selecting Learned Vocab to Practice

The Select Learned Vocab screen lets you choose which learned vocab items you want to practice with an activity. This screen appears if you choose the Selected Vocab Items option in the Learned Vocab category while Choosing Content for Activities.

  2. Consult the table for a list of all your learned vocab items that meet the requirements for the selected activity. Each row will show the known language and learning language for a vocab item, along with its status as fresh or stale. (Archived vocab items are not shown, because they cannot be used in the activities.) To change how the information in the table is sorted, {{#web}}click{{/web}}{{^web}}tap{{/web}} any column heading.

    3. Note: The automatic filters for each activity will hide any vocab items that do not meet the activity requirements. For example, vocab items that do not have learning language sound will not be available to select for Dictation, Listening Multiple Choice, Listening Recognition, or Pronunciation Practice. Only vocab items with such sound will be shown when any of those activities are selected. Similarly, only phrases with three or more words in the learning language will be shown for Unscramble and all of the Fill in the Blank activities.
