How is it subtly different from other similar words ?

TEXT

AUDIO
Use the newly learnt "words & sentences" of the day excessively for 30 mins. Make up sentences just to use them. Its fun !

VIDEO
Act it out ! - Feel the word and say it with facial expression.
Write a short film script using new words n sentences.
Film it, laugh ,enjoy.

Keep getting INPUTS from external world. Put effort to memorize them, slowly and steadily. Then create - thoughts, articles, sounds/accents, videos !

LEBTOP helps you with Inputs (from Volunteers - Get new sentences,get correct usage, clear doubts, get used to accents) and then helps you deliver the Output (regular practice increases confidence).
