Beschreibung

With Professor-Drill, studying a foreign language is fun. It is also effective, as you don’t learn the preconceived content created by a publisher, but exactly what you need to and want to learn.
This means you can create your own lessons directly within the App or you can use your favored spreadsheet application or text editor on your PC/Mac to create the lessons and then use the CSV-import of Professor-Drill to transfer them into the app.

There are various methods to study your exercises: In writing (enter the translation using the keyboard), verbally (think about the translation and compare it with the solution) or let Professor-Drill give you some proposals and choose the correct one by tapping on it. Or have fun with the word quiz in which you have to guess a word character by character and then translate it.

Professor-Drill is doing everything possible to help you improve your language skills. He can show you example sentences that explain the context for a translation. He will give you clues to find the correct answer. He can enforce that you repeat an unknown answer after the solution was shown. And at the end of an exercise, he will repeat all questions you didn’t answer properly.

Professor-Drill takes your learning progress into account: Unknown questions will be asked more often and you can create lessons that contain only questions you had difficulties with.
At the end of each exercise he will present a collection of charting diagrams that show not only your current result but also the past ones so that you can see the progress you made so far.

And should any of your friends happen to be studying the same thing at the same time, you can simply share your lessons…

Of course Professor Drill also caters to those who simply wish to refresh their language skills by including a large number of ready-made lessons in many foreign languages.
