TRY COLORFON week 1 NEW

Here we present an interface where Colorfon words must be dragged onto the blackboard. A half of the words are mispronounced,

the other half are correcly spoken - you must decide which. It's much easier than it sounds!

On the left we have four icons.

1. Click on the top left icon and listen to the audio. now deside which of the colorfon words is the most suitable for that version

of the pronunciation. 2. Go down to the list of the words on the bottom of the page and drag it up, releasing it beside the icon

3. Now go to the right side of the page where you'll find the icons of the teacher on the same line.

4.Click on the teacher and listen to the audio, go back down to the list of words, this time choosing to word corresponding to the teachers

correct pronunciation.

5. Do the same for the other words. That’s all. When you're done, go back and listen to the audio again

for each icon on the left and the same on the right.

6. This is an opportunity to compare two different vocal interpretations of the same word.

You may have noticed that each word has an underlined fon; This is a very important addition, as it indicates where the vocal accent

or stress should be placed. If you are unsure of this, then refresh the page and repeat the exercise, giving more attention to this feature.

Every Colorfon word that you encounter will always have(if it contains more than one fon) one of its fons underlined.

As you progress through the exercises, you will become more and more aware of accent positioning.

Page 3.DRAGONDROP 1:

No Ordinary crossword puzzle. If you like crossword puzzles then you will probably enjoy this one. Instead of crossing words,

Dragondrop is about crossing sounds. Maybe a little Challenging at first, but I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Read the instructions carefully...
The Basics. Light-blue cells are neutral - cannot be filled.
Black cells accept only FONS(coloured symbols - on the left of the grid)
Grey cells accept only CONS(consonants - to the right of the grid)
HOR = horizontal cells
VERT = vertical cells
Game starts with 0 points and ends with 36 (Mini DragonDrop - 21).
The solutions to each clue, (with the exception of clue 7)is given as an audio file: just click on the audio icon at the end of the clue line, and listen.

(In the Advanced Version, these audio files are ABSENT).

Suggestions and Strategy.
1. Decide which cell you want to start from (cells 1-7)
2. Read the clue, then listen to the audio file.
3. Choose a FON or a CON to fill the empty cell.

FONS(left table)
Click and release to hear FON audio file.
Click, Drag to grid release to fill empty cells.

CONS(right table)
Click and release to hear audio file for any double-letter CONS:
Click, Drag to grid release to fill empty cells.

4. Choose your strategy: if you prefer, solve the vertical (VERT) clues first; they have only 3 cells, so it can makes it easier
to fill in the horizontal(HOR) clues later.
5. Words (in clues)in CAPITOLS are attempts to use synonyms or opposites to help with the meaning.
FONS are limited in number to just 1 MORE than is necessary. So be aware not to waste any.
CONS are available up to 10 for each one.
6. No audio on last clue(7). This is a short phrase of 2 or more words:

You must guess this with ONLY the written clue!

(If the horizontal clues have been resolved, then you are half-way home.)

7. The "countdown" on the right is to give you the possibility to record the time taken for you to complete the krossword.

It isn't a race against the clock; it's not a competition, but a tangible indication that your memory is increasingly improving.

8. Before dragging a FON from its "home " position, look carefully at the positioning of black cells. Try to associate each black cell
with the FON heard in the audio file. This will develope your listening ability and also help to avoid picking a wrong cell.

9. Drag the FON or CON to hover just ABOVE the destination cell, then release.
Hint: If you drag a FON above a cell that is not it's destination cell, then it will cause a adjacent blue cell to blacken,
so dont release in this case.
10. You can always return the FON you are dragging (dont release it)to it's cell of origin if you are not sure of it's destination.
11. If you don't understand the meaning of the written clue phrase(or any other words), you can always use your favorite app to tranlate it.
But it's not essential, because the important thing here is to listen to each FON inside the clue and then match that FON with the relative
FON inside the FONS table on the left of the main center grid. When you have found it, then simply drag it to it's destination cell.

12. The task is complete when all available cells(36) have been filled.
13. On completion, the "next" button appears and clicking on it will take you to the ACCENT pages. In the case of the REVISION version,
you will be directed to the Scores Page first.
14. Examples of single-letter CONS are demonstrated in the ALPHABET page if needed.
15. You can start again at any time using your browser REFRESH button.
16. Solution to this krossword, together with the accompaning ACCENT pages, will be presented with the next edition.

Once you start playing you will see that the main actions you take are repetitive so the sequence will, in a short time, become second-nature to you.

At any moment you can refer back to the info pages by clicking the "HELP" icon at the top of the page.
