Movielean: Learn English with movies.

Movielearn teaches you English through movies by giving you exposure to everyday conversational English not normally taught in traditional teaching methods. The first product of its kind to launch into the “edutainment” field, Movielearn provides user-friendly learning tools for watching DVD movies on your computer, making learning fun, dynamic and interactive.

Infusing entertainment into the learning process, Movielearn allows you to watch a movie at your own pace, in the comforts of wherever you may be, and at the same time, offers you a personalized learning experience. By pressing the Space Bar or Enter key on your computer while watching the movie, you are taken into a sophisticated learning interface that explains the English spoken in the movie.

Movielearn provides definition of keywords or idioms as used in the context of the movie, correct pronunciation through audio files that read out words or phrases, and word usage along with graphic explanation.

Movielearn reinforces your learning even after watching the movie. You can view and review, or store the words or keywords you learned from the movie by synchronizing your Personal Learning feature with your Personal Vocabulary, a unique feature that comes with your Cleverlearn account.

Each keyword or word in Movielearn has an equivalent Word Reminder that is sent to you via email as often as you want for easy retention.

Thus, Movielearn will help you:

  • Sharpen your listening and speaking ability.
  • Enhance your English vocabulary.
  • Increase your knowledge of English idioms, slang and their usage.
  • Improve your reading comprehension skills.

Movielearn is ideal for intermediate to advanced English learners. At present, Movielearn movies are available in the following languages:

  • German
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Korean
  • Thai
  • Vietnamese

Movielearn Key Features:
Keywords Panel

When you press the Space Bar or Enter key, you will be led to the Keywords Panel. This panel provides audio that reads out the entire English subtitle. A graphic or illustrated explanation and English definition, based on the context of the movie, is displayed on the keyword content area.
 

Translation Panel

On the Translation Panel, you can view the translations of each word in the subtitle in your native language. This panel also provides audio that reads out individual words (in the English subtitle) as they are highlighted, to guide you in correct word pronunciation.
 

Personal Learning Panel

The Personal Learning Panel displays all words or keywords -- along with their graphic illustration or contextual definition -- you learned from the movie and gives you the option to store or delete a word in your Personal Learning.

You can synchronize this feature with your Personal Vocabulary, a key service that comes free with your Cleverlearn account, and gives you the option to view and review the words or keywords on your PV, wherever and whenever you need it.

The Personal Learning Panel reinforces your learning by giving you a choice to receive via email the equivalent Word Reminder (of words or keywords in your Personal Learning) as often as you want.
