Papapapaya Learning Philosophy

Just like your brain, Papapapaya organizes your words in different memory levels instead of files and folders. This makes it easy to see which words you already know well and what you need to rehearse again.

Papapaya uses newest concepts from learning psychology and teaching sciences to help you get new words into your mind.

With Papapapaya you can focus on learning the language and not on complicated software. Our program is clearly structured, and so you will intuitively understand it and find what you need.

Quiz yourself

Rehearse the words and test your knowledge with Papapapaya's intelligent quiz. The Quiz will always ask you the words that are best to be rehearsed at the very moment. Using topic tags, words will even be asked in meaningful groups.
You can also get asked single words from the background while you do something else using Papapapayas unique PopUp Quiz.

Rehearse	Your brain uses several levels of memory. New things will traverse theses levels from short term to long term memory one after the other. Yet this will only happen if something is needed often. So to keep it in your memory you have to rehearse again and again.
Sleep	Our brain is actually learning when we are asleep. What you learn in the evening will be strongly present in the next morning. And the more new things you try to learn the more sleep your brain needs.
Groups	It is very difficult to learn something without context like a single words. Our brain is highly parallel and it stores new stuff by creating links and connections. It is much easier to learn a group of words from a specific context together (like "things you need for Pizza" or "parts of body") so you can imagine a scene when learning.
Break into pieces	Don't overwhelm your brain. When you have 30 new words to learn, learn them in small groups of 3-5 words. When you know these, learn the next few. Also try to learn groups of words with similar context or similar letters or pronounciation together.
Senses	You should try to learn with several senses. That means to learn a word: read it aloud (speaking, hearing), write it down (doing, seeing), build a sentence with the word to better connect it in context. Imagine the meaning of the word: what it looks like and how it feels or smells.
Use what you learned	Your brain will forget everything that you don't use regularly. To learn a language it is most important to use what you learned. Read foreign books (children's books or comics to start), websites or news. Watch foreign movies. Try to talk as much as you can (in class or alone).
