In this video you will learn more about the Exchange, the Profile, the Avatar, Speaking and Tutoring on LingQ. Here is the full transcript: ---- -Exchange- The Exchange is a place where you can post requests, asking members and tutors for various services including translation, writing correction, pronunciation correction and more. Choose the type of request you would like to make then click Post. Each time a response is posted to your request, by a member, you will receive a notification. You will be able to decide how many points you want to award and to whom. Should you be interested, you can earn points by responding to requests from other members on the Exchange. -Profile- Your profile shows your learning activities and statistics, your description and your activity feed. Communicate with other members by posting on their walls. You can edit your profile information on the Settings page. -LingQ Avatar- Your Avatar is a graphical representation of your progress in your new language. Earn Avatar credits when you create LingQs. Click on your Avatar to go to the Avatar Store to purchase artifacts with your avatar credits. -Speak- On the Speak page you will find a list of tutors who offer conversations in your target language. Tutors can post 1 on 1 conversations or group conversations. You can also find tutors through the Find a Tutor page. You can request specific conversation times. Discussions on LingQ take place through Skype, and you will receive a detailed conversation report after every conversation. -Tutoring- To tutor, go to the Teach page to learn about how to do this. You will post discussion times in your time zone. Other members will see these in their time zone. You will receive a notification when someone signs up. As a conversation host, you are required to fill out a Conversation Report with corrections, suggestions and comments. After your conversation, you must submit this report to the learner in order to receive your points.

In this video you will learn more about the Lesson page, the Vocabulary page and our mobile apps. Here is the full transcript: ---- -The Lesson Page- The Lesson page is split into two parts. In the Dashboard on the right you can find a variety of information about the lesson. You can listen to the audio, and keep track of your activity. The blue New Words tab displays all of the new words in the lesson. The yellow LingQs tab shows all of your saved words in the lesson. In the Info tab you can follow the growth of your Avatar. You can also see statistics related to each lesson. You can minimize the dashboard by clicking the button at the top right. This makes it easier to review lessons when using a smaller screen. On the left hand side you will find the lesson text. New words are shown in blue. If you encounter a new word, just click on it. You can select one of the Hints that are displayed and save it. If you prefer you can click on Search Dictionary to find a new definition in the dictionary. Once a word is saved it will turn yellow. We call this creating a 'LingQ'. If you already know a word, you may want to click 'Known' to add it to your Known Words total. You can also leave new words blue and convert all remaining words to 'Known' at the bottom of the lesson page. -Vocabulary- All the LingQs you have created are found in the Vocabulary section. In the Vocabulary section you can review your LingQs using a variety of vocabulary review tests. You can also edit LingQs and adjust their status. Each day you will be sent a list of LingQs to review, in what is called the 'LingQs of the Day' email. -Mobile Apps- If you have an iOS or Android device, you can use our iLingQ app. The app allows you to study flashcards, review your lessons and create playlists to listen to on the go. To download the app, click on the icon at the bottom of the page.

In this video you will learn more about the Library, the My Lessons page and the My Imports page. Here is the full transcript: ---- -Library- The Library is where you find courses for study. Courses are organized into levels based on difficulty. Click on a course to view the lessons inside the course. Use the filters on the left to filter the results. When you find a course that looks interesting, click on the first lesson in the course to begin studying it. If you finish a course, or don't like the course you have chosen, you can return it to the Library at any time and select a new course. -My Lessons- Lessons that you have selected can be seen in My Lessons, where you can take advantage of the same controls and filters as in the Library. If you archive old lessons, they will appear in My Archives. Archiving is useful for clearing the My Lessons section of courses that you have already finished studying. -My Imports- You can also import lessons and courses to study on the site from the web and elsewhere. These will appear in My Imports. Simply click the "Import Lesson" button in the library to import a new lesson. Imported lessons can be shared in the Library if they are free of copyright or if permission has been obtained from the owner. Note that shared lessons must consist of a text, an audio file, an image and a difficulty level. You can also import using the Import Bookmarklet. Just drag the Import Bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar. Then highlight the text that you want to import, click on the Import Bookmarklet, select the language of the text you are importing, and click Import.
