Jiveworld fills a crucial gap for intermediate-level and above language learners who've hit the "sound barrier" — where the language they've learned in the classroom doesn't resemble what they actually hear at street level. Jiveworld uses engaging and interesting stories from Radio Ambulante, an award winning podcast featuring stores from across Latin America. The stories are broken into chapters and paired with the patented Jiveworld player which provides help and guidance when you need it, and gets out of the way when you don't.
Only have a few minutes a day? Try Soundbites. These daily mini lessons pose a question or challenge based on an audio excerpt from a full story. When you're done listening, tap reveal to check the answer and show deeper insights into the challenge. Soundbites go far beyond the dictionary, exploring the language and culture across eight dimensions: Idioms & Sayings, Speech & Accents, Useful Patterns, Vernacular & Slang, Strategies, Grammar, Vocabulary, and History & Culture.
Jiveworld offers you help as you listen, with speed controls, vocabulary, and notes about language and the cultural context. But the real magic lies in some unique features:
• Story Scaffolding — stories organized into chapters and passages, with succinct guides that help you follow the plot
• X-Ray Script — follow the script while you listen, karaoke style, but show only the most difficult words
• Smart Pause — ensures you always listen in complete sentences, without stop-start in unnatural places
• Study Flow — after you study a chapter, re-listen in the Natural Listening Player to reinforce the authentic sounds of the language
• Idiom to Idiom — wherever you see a translation, you'll see the most natural expression in both languages, showing you how your target language really works.
After practicing regularly with Jiveworld you will find yourself increasingly comfortable listening to native voices speaking at natural speed. You'll build up a robust vocabulary giving you confidence in any conversation.
