You are in Beijing, but want to learn English with the Americans on the other side of the ocean. It's not impossible. Choose a city right now, Los Angeles. In the pleasant seaside, you ask a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses: How do you get hooked on Web design? Then she answered the question in fluent English. After you read what she said, you can also see an audio analysis to show you where your pronunciation gap is. After reading again and again, your oral English level can not be improved?
Yes, you guessed right, I want to introduce an oral English learning website Speakingmax. This site offers five classes of courses ranging from entry-level to advanced, each of which is filmed in different cities. For example, there are Los Angeles and San Francisco in the intermediate classes, and the scene mentioned above is a learning video from the "Los Angeles" chapter.
Speakingmax's course-making process is that the Course Advisor team will record a variety of English learning questions, as the question just mentioned, "How did you get hooked on Web design?" Later, the video recording team will go to different cities and attractions, interview passers-by, let them answer questions, so as to get a piece of authentic learning video. Users can not only watch the video to hone their listening, but also to choose to read, improve the level of spoken English. Speakingmax will come up with the audio analysis after reading, so that you can see the gap between yourself and the original.
Before you finish this lesson, you don't know where the next class is going to be, or who you're going to be, a street entertainer, maybe a top student, or a business elite. Does this give you a sense of anticipation of oral learning? Of course, if you want to learn more courses, you'll have to pay for them.
Speakingmax co-founder Lin Jianjun says the site now has more than 1440 course videos. Next, they will launch a business sentence and an Australian article.
Speakingmax has teams in both the U.S. and South Korea, and the U.S. team is responsible for editing courses and textbooks, while the South Korean team is responsible for recording all videos. Lin Jianjun's team is in Beijing. He was a Singaporean who went to Tsinghua to study and joined a pioneering team at Tsinghua University. The team's first start-up project is the group buying navigation website letyo.com. Later, they moved into the field of English online education to start a business, using cross-border cooperation, at the end of last year formally launched the Speakingmax.
Online education, especially English online education, seems to have been an inexhaustible gold mine. At the end of last year, Gong resigned as CEO of the century Jia Yuan network, also chose this field to start their second venture: 91 Foreign Education Network.
