Dashboard Walkthrough

Explore Your Play Homework hub

Glimpse the full dashboard before you dive into Chill and Play. Track active collections, jump into ongoing chats, and launch games directly from this control center. If you choose to stick to the guided learning path, then D starts as your skill level and accompanies you all the way to the top in the form of an A! But only if you want to fully master your word collection.

Chill and Play Chill Play Icon

A great exercise to start with.

Chill and Play

Use the scroll wheel to navigate through the words. Choose the order that suits your knowledge and persona, tap play, or just tap the word in the wheel to show the word pair in the display. It's all about you deciding tempo and order.

Toggle the language bot to be active/inactive. If it's active, you will receive a sentence generated from the current word pair. If it's inactive, you will only see the word pair displayed, which maintains a better flow if you want to focus solely on the translation.

Say and Spell Say and Spell Icon

When you are acquainted with your collection you may start to use the speech and spell environment.

Say and Spell

Make your spelling or speech attempt. To make a speech attempt press and hold the microphone lightly while giving your spoken attempt. If you do not remember the right word, you may use the Hint hint button. Each tap will give you progressive hints until you get the complete pronunciation.


Ready to put your spelling to the test? If you tap the lightning bolt you will enter a Test Mode:

  • Get ready! A countdown begins for each word in your collection.
  • Spell it right? You'll automatically move on to the next word.
  • Need a pass? Use the Next button.
Say and Spell Word Test

When you reach a score of 100% you know you're ready!

Chat and Play Chat Play Icon

Chat with a bilingual language bot in your first language and/or target language.

Respond in your first language, or if you feel comfortable answering in your target language, please do. Keep the dialog focused on the given situation or take it in a new direction, using your imagination.
