A Personalized Course is a series of lessons created specifically for you, taking into account the things you love (or your occupation), the learning goals you have, your skill level in the language, how much time you have available each day, how motivated you are, and how many months you want to study.

There is no limit, though we suggest only creating courses that you will actually pursue.

If you are receiving unusually low scores on exercises or quizzes that use our voice analysis algorithm, here are some tips that can help: 1) Be sure you are in a quiet location. The voice analysis algorithm is highly sensitive to noise. The quieter the room, the better your results will be. 2) Record your voice using our Voice Comparison drill. When it is played back to you, listen for volume or quality issues. 3) If your scores are consistently “20” or “25,” your mic may not be connected. 4) If your score is “-100”, refresh your browser, because you have lost your connection to the server.

Apple doesn’t yet offer mic support in the technology used in the Pronunciator app. However, there is a workaround: Use the HTML5 version of Pronunciator (https://www.pronunciator.com/app/) directly in Safari. (For mic support in Safari, Apple requires iOS 11 to be installed at a minimum.)
