Cleverlearn®
is a pioneer in innovative English learning
solutions, with the primary aim of teaching
English as a Second Language (ESL).
Using cutting-edge technology, it has
developed a learning system that enhances
the learning experience - personalizing
it to cater to individual needs of learners.
The ability to develop a vocabulary diminishes
with age and presents a higher challenge
for people learning a second language.
With this in mind, Cleverlearn
has put the focus on building up a Personal
Vocabulary, making this
the core of its learning systems. By
establishing a Personal
Vocabulary unique to each
user, learning becomes personalized,
making comprehension easier, faster
and effective!

The Personal
Vocabulary is an
ingenious feature of all Cleverlearn
tools that allows you to store
words that you have translated
for further review. This allows
you easy access to words that
you want to study repetitively
to facilitate easy retention
and learning.
With the Personal
Vocabulary, important
words that you need for specific
purposes will not be lost but
stored for viewing and constant
reviewing until you�ve mastered
them like your own native tongue.
Repetition promotes the retention
of learning, and it is through
this principle that the Personal
Vocabulary is anchored
on. In essence, you are actually
building up your own customized
vocabulary of English words
with the simple and very effective
Cleverlearn Personal
Vocabulary feature!
|
The Personal
Vocabulary allows continuous
learning by coordinating with other
Cleverlearn tools whether
online or offline. This means that whatever
tool you�re using, wherever you are,
you will be able to access and update
your Personal
Vocabulary so learning
will be consistent and effective.

Hello. I am a language teacher for kids and I use the
Clicktionary�
Version
2.9 both at home and at the office.
Anyway, I would like to format my PC soon and I just
want to know if I have to download the Clicktionary
Version 2.9 again. Thanks.
- Julia Kasten, M�nchen
Hello Julia and thank you for your continued usage
of the Clicktionary
Version 2.9. There is no need for you to
download the Pro Version again when you format your
PC. All you have to do is download the free version
and enter the license key. You can then use your personal
dictionary anytime, anyplace, whenever you feel it�s
necessary. Have a great time using the Clicktionary Version 2.9
Julia. Enjoy!

Dear
Cleverlearn Team,
I have a problem with my Clicktionary®
Version
2.9! When
I click on a word with the right mouse button, I get
no translation. What is wrong with my version? Thanks
and regards.
-
Thomas Gerath, Frankfurt
Hello
Thomas. The Clicktionary
Version 2.9 works best with Microsoft
Word, Wordpad, Notepad, Internet Explorer and other
Microsoft applications. If you use the Clicktionary Version 2.9
'Hotkey' supported by a Microsoft Windows application
you will get the translation right away!
Currently we are in the process of improving that and
we hope to support more applications very soon. Thank
you for your confidence in the Clicktionary
Version 2.9!
