MegaAudio looks and plays the same as MegaVocab. You have up to 20 topics to select from. The topics range from simple vocabulary words to more applied words like things you may hear in a shop or restaurant. Once you have selected a topic you go to a new screen.
The screen has 6 pictures with the English word underneath each picture. A word or phrase is spoken in Italian and you guess which picture the spoken word represents. There is a replay button that can be pressed if you want to hear the word again. When you pick a picture, the game gives you the Italian equivalent word and tells you if your guess was correct.
You Can Say That Again !
You are given a score of the number of questions that you answered correctly at the end of the 20 questions. Depending on your score, you may decide to go onto another topic or do this topic again. The levels get harder as you move on and become more real world as opposed to simple vocabulary.
I think MegaAudio will help you learn comprehension and pronunciation skills. In reality, the pictures and English words are of no use to you unless you have some inkling of the word you are hearing. So you won’t learn new words based on the pictures but you will learn how to pronounce the words. If you repeat the words after the speaker and try to perfect the pronunciation you will develop a decent Italian accent of the words spoken. You will also get experience of hearing words from a native Italian speaker.
