I’m Drew Badger, the world’s #1 English Fluency Guide, and I’d like you to join

me at my computer so I can show you something special we built just for our learners…

It’s our Interactive Video App, designed to give you a better, smoother and easier
3
10330
5080
00:15
learning and speaking practice experience so you have more fun learning and get fluent
4
15410

faster!

Now, this isn’t an app you download.
6
20580

00:23
It works right in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer with all of our premium

video lessons.

And you can try it yourself right now by clicking on the link in this video or on the link in

Not many learners know about this tool, so I thought I’d introduce it here for everyone,
11
36720
4860
00:41
explain why we built it, and then let you play with this simple yet powerful app yourself
12
41580
5020
00:46
if you haven’t already.
13
46600
1540
00:48
Sound good?
14

00:49
Well, since we specialize in making video lessons for English learners who want to become
15
49540
5130
00:54
FLUENT SPEAKERS, I knew we needed to improve the way people used videos.
16
54670
4510
00:59
I know when I want to practice speaking with a video, my biggest pain is trying to find
17
59180
4740
01:03
the exact spot where a speaking section begins so I can repeat it.
18
63920
4180
01:08
If I’m off by a bit with my mouse, I’ll lose the section and have to find it again.
19
68100
6430
01:14
I also have to do this MANUALLY, clicking AGAIN and AGAIN on the section each time I
20
74530
5680
01:20
want to hear it.
21
80210
1100
01:21
Isn’t that frustrating?
22
81310
1630
01:22
Are you doing that right now with videos here on YouTube?
23
82940
3340
01:26
I didn’t want learners to have to struggle with this, so we designed our app to return
24
86280
5470
01:31
to the beginning of each speech section as many times as you like AUTOMATICALLY, so you
25
91750
5830
01:37
can just enjoy practicing.
26
97580
3120
01:40
Pretty cool how it works, right?
27
100700
1800
01:42
You simply select the number of times each speech section repeats, and the app automatically
28
102500
4640
01:47
returns to the start of that section so you can hear it again!
29
107140
3370
01:50
And again!
30
110510
1000
01:51
And again!
31
111510
1660
01:53
Another problem many learners have is that they DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME to hear, understand
32
113170
5449
01:58
and process what’s said, especially if the speakers are natives.
33
118619
5101
02:03
So we also designed the Interactive Video App so you can set the amount of time you
34
123720
4189
02:07
want BETWEEN speech sections.
35
127909
3881
02:11
So the video will play a speech section, then pause automatically for as many seconds as
36
131790
4890
02:16
you like, and then move on to the next speech section!
37
136680
4539
02:21
This gives you time to hear, and repeat what’s spoken in a very comfortable way, without
38
141219
5390
02:26
you having to click on anything!
39
146609
2850
02:29
Just set the timing and enjoy!
40
149459
1710
02:31
Of course, the player also lets you control the SPEED of videos, so you can make speech
41
151169
6050
02:37
slower, and easier to hear…
42
157219
2560
02:39
Or make it faster and more challenging.
43
159779
3380
02:43
But my favorite feature of the Interactive Video App is the interactive transcript.
44
163159
6280
02:49
Our videos have subtitles, but we ALSO wanted to make the WHOLE TRANSCRIPT available as
45
169439
4890
02:54
you watch.
46
174329
1220
02:55
The video’s current speech section is highlighted as the video plays.
47
175549
4260
02:59
But you can read ahead, go back to previous sections, or, and this is the BEST PART, you
48
179809
6981
03:06
can click anywhere on the transcript to jump right to that section of the video!
49
186790
4529
03:11
Isn’t that cool?
50
191319
2960
03:14
So you can search for vocabulary right on your screen in the transcript and then go
51
194279
4660
03:18
directly to where that vocabulary is used right in the video!
52
198939
5580
03:24
All of these features combine to give you a perfect learning experience that you can
53
204519
4120
03:28
CUSTOMIZE to your listening and speaking practice needs whenever you like…
54
208639
6070
03:34
Start the video off faster, then slow it down.
55
214709
3880
03:38
Start at the END and then jump to the beginning.
56
218589
3550
03:42
Hear sections repeated once, and then 10 times if something is a bit more difficult.
57
222139
4651
03:46
It’s all YOUR choice!
58
226790
2919
03:49
Isn’t that great?!
