    Learnitlists.com - Learn a Language While Surfing

    learnitlists

    Learnitlists applies what advertisers call branding exposure to the learning of a foreign language. Each day you are given a list of 10 words from a list of the 1000 most common English words and you can select to have the translation of these words flash one-by-one in the language of your choice. The learnit widget will make these ten words appear in a different order each time and you can flip from English to the language you are learning. You can put the widget on your favorite social network site or you can keep it open in a browser window on your desktop while you work. This constant exposure to the new words no matter what you are doing on your computer, should help you to learn 10-new words a day.

    In their own words

    A simple and intelligent tool for building vocabulary when learning a language. Users are shown a dynamic list of 10 words from a chosen language pair. The learnit widget can be positioned on social network homepages, search engines & blogs, and is available as a Google gadget which can be added to any web page.

    Why it might be a killer

    People spend hours on their computer everyday but often do not want to spend that time studying. By applying brand exposure theory, students are able to learn new words without having to dedicate their time studying. They can learn while chatting with their friends on a social network site.

    Some questions

    Will they be adding additional languages like Chinese which is in such high demand these days? Could they incorporate some sort of testing that allows students to see what they’ve learned?
