In the Practice tab, you can focus separately on improving:
your vocabulary,
your grammar,
your speaking skills.
Here, you can review your saved words, practise expressions you are less confident with, and track the balance between your weak and strong vocabulary.
You do not necessarily need long study sessions to make progress. Short, regular practice is the most effective approach.
Words
Under Practice → Words, you can find:
your saved words,
your weak and strong expressions,
the Word Strength indicator,
and vocabulary practice organised by topic.
Xeropan will let you know if you have accumulated too many weak expressions, so you will always know when it is worth spending more time on revision.

What is weak vocabulary?
These are expressions that you will probably recognise when you hear or see them in writing, but may find more difficult to recall when you need to use them yourself, for example during an exam or in an unexpected speaking situation.
What is strong vocabulary?
Strong expressions are words and phrases that you can recall confidently and use naturally in conversation, even in more stressful situations.
How does a word become strong?
Complete the exercises related to the expression correctly at least five times.
Word Strength indicator
The indicator shows what proportion of the expressions you have already encountered you can use confidently.
0–25%: You may still be unsure about many expressions. It is worth spending more time on revision.
25–50%: You can already use a significant number of expressions confidently, but further practice will help make your knowledge even stronger.
50–100%: Your progress and practice are well balanced. Keep it up!
If you would like to improve your vocabulary in a specific topic, you can also browse vocabulary practice by theme under Practice → Words.
Grammar
Under Grammar, you can find exercises related to a variety of grammar topics.
The learning materials:
explain the rules clearly,
include examples and explanations,
gradually build your grammar knowledge.
Conversation
Under Conversation, you can practise a variety of real-life situations with the help of chatbots.
For example, you can talk to:
a shop assistant,
a doctor,
a taxi driver.
Each conversation includes different communication goals for you to complete. This way, you not only learn new words but also practise how to use them in real speaking situations.
Study less, but practise regularly!
Based on an analysis of the learning habits of two million language learners, we found that many people stop learning after the first week.
However, those who practise several times a week in shorter sessions can reach their goals up to three times faster.
That is why we recommend that you:
practise regularly,
plan short study sessions,
and get through the first week!
Once learning becomes a habit, it will be much easier to stay consistent and keep improving.
