KanTalk Releases the Group Function

July 26, 2007

We always thought Group function is neat. It’s up close and personal to connect with a smaller circle of users who share a common interest, just like a study group you can count on at school.

So we added Group function today. One great feature is the discussion board within each group. If you have a question to ask, or want to share a learning experience with the group, simply post it in the board.

As always, we look forward to hearing from you for any feedback or suggestion. Let us know how we can further improve Group function, as well as the Kantalk community.

Enjoy your learning journey at Kantalk.

Want to Record More at Kantalk?

July 10, 2007

One month ago, we opened up our Recording capacity to allow three recordings for each user. Some of our users thought that’s still not enough. They are probably the firm believers of “Talk is golden”.

We are more than happy to provide them the golden opportunities. From now on, each user can record up to ten recordings, each of two-minute long. So, let the creativity run wild, and let it be heard in the Kantalk community.

Look forward to hearing a lot more interesting recordings from our users.

Voice Comment: an Earful of Advice on Pronunciation

July 2, 2007

After hearing the “Please Call Stella” recordings at Kantalk, many of our users graciously made the text comments on what went right or wrong with the pronunciation. The feedback helps the fellow members identify the particular sounds to improve upon.

But some found it’s not always easy to explain the “right” pronunciation in writing. After all, it’s a sound. The solution, however, is pretty straightforward—commenting in voice. That’s why we added a feature that allows user to record a comment. Now, instead of describing how to pronounce “th” or the subtle difference between “l” and “r” sound, just click the Record button and say it out aloud.

With this new Voice Comment feature, users should easily give and receive an earful of advice.
