• increase your range and accuracy
• develop fluency in speaking

√ study guide
√ statistics panel- to track overall time spent studying, your time by skill, how much you’ve completed and accuracy
√ filtering exercises by skill- listening, grammar, pronunciation and speaking
√ bookmarking of favourite exercises
√ sharing by Facebook and Sina Weibo- whether simply stuck or just competitive!
