AlaC1 is an application which uses flash cards to increase fluency in French but also in English, in German and in Spanish. It’s based on spaced repetition, an evidence-based learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent review of previously learned. Users can acquire vocabulary daily. They are also faced with thousands of common mistakes, a unique way to finally get rid of them.
In the field of education, digital tools predominantly bring learners to a level where they communicate efficiently. This level is known as “B2”, or “upper intermediate” in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). Unfortunately, one is generally stuck for years at this stage. And this is so frustrating….
AlaC1 is a ticket for the Advanced level, the privilege of the happy few “C1”, the ones who can speak in a clear, organised way about complex subjects. The secret for this is the connection with the alacarteachers platform. AlaC1 users can book one-to-one online lessons with native speakers who write down mistakes and provide useful vocabulary.
Sent to the student’s mobile and prioritized in the daily learning routine, this data is inserted in a learning trajectory thanks to artificial intelligence. Thus, each 30-minute lesson triggers hours of meaningful and structured study. This leads to a substantial reduction of the financial investment required to really master a language.
Hard-working students experience a comforting step-by-step approach. Though AlaC1 warn them when their academic knowledge threatens to remain abstract and demands real-life communication. On the contrary, self-educated foreign language speakers discover the “a la carte” pathway they’ve been longing for: unconsciously, idioms and sophisticated syntax strengthens their natural way of speaking.
