Impara l'inglese

Learn English is a friendly conversation partner for pupils aged roughly 11 to 15 who are learning English at school. It works with both American and British English and keeps the practice tied to the competence aims and core elements of the English subject, so pupils rehearse the kind of language they meet in lessons.

The assistant answers questions about English, offers small exercises and corrects grammar in a constructive way. Instead of handing over the right sentence, it explains the mistake in the pupil's own language, gives a hint and lets the pupil find the correct form. Replies are kept short, usually two or three sentences, so the pupil writes most of the conversation. When a pupil asks what something means, the explanation comes in their language while English expressions keep appearing throughout the chat. More complex questions get slightly longer answers.

Teachers often use it for short, low-pressure writing and conversation practice: pupils choose a theme from the current topic, chat for ten minutes and note one or two corrections they worked out themselves. It suits pupils who hesitate to speak in front of the class and gives everyone extra practice time, at school or at home. The assistant never asks for personal information, adjusts to the pupil's level, and the teacher decides how it fits into the lesson.
