Random Spanish

Random Spanish is an Educational Technology designed to help beginning students of Spanish practice different grammar principles of Spanish with randomly generated content.

Random Spanish helps you practice Spanish by:

- Focusing on one thing at a time - All the prompts in Random Spanish are focused around one specific grammar point.

- Going from input to output - With each grammar principle you start out with the game providing you with the input you need in order to start to learn the material. As you become more comfortable with the material, you can switch to harder modes where you are asked to provide the output.

- Having a focus on form - Each prompt and its associated activity is designed so that you can only get the item right if you correctly understand the grammar.

- Being meaningful - By earning points when you get things right, trying to get them right has more meaning.

- Providing instant feedback - Random Spanish lets you know right away whether you got something right or wrong. It also shows you what the right answers were.

- Allowing for unpredictable repetition - The main feature of Random Spanish is that it generates each prompt randomly each and every time. This means that you can't memorize the game content. Which means you are forced to pay attention in order to succeed.
