For the majority of language learners, progressing from "understanding" to "communicating" can be quite challenging. Initial conversations tend to be stressful and yield minimal results.

This is where Polygloss comes into play. Our mission is to empower language learners to become independent and enjoy using a foreign language in their daily lives.

So how do we achieve this?

Polygloss offers an image guessing game that fosters interaction and provides guidance, allowing you to express yourself freely. Utilizing new words within your personal context is the most effective method for expanding your vocabulary. It surpasses the mere act of memorizing words out of context through reading and re-reading!

Polygloss has been thoroughly researched and endorsed by the academic community. In fact, it was awarded the prestigious Best Paper* at the 9th NLP4CALL workshop series held at The University of Gothenburg.

So why does Polygloss work?

It's common for language learners to have greater exposure to a language than the ability to create it. Language creation is a challenging process that requires nurture.

There are various methods to enhance your active vocabulary (i.e., words you can confidently use, not solely understand). These include intensive repetition, immersing yourself in enjoyable content such as books, series, and movies, as well as using flashcards. These techniques are valuable and should be part of every language learner's toolkit.

However, there is another effective approach to expanding your active vocabulary—simply employing the words you've learned, ideally within your personalized context.

And that's exactly why Polygloss is so effective. It allows you to practice communication in a low-stress environment, facilitating the growth of your active vocabulary and bolstering your confidence in communicating.
