Why English Still Matters: New Parts of Speech and Hypernyms Practice on ExamGiant

 


I just finished another ExamGiant video, and this one shows two more English practice modes: Parts of Speech and Hypernyms.

As I was making the video, I shared something personal. When I was in high school, I did not think English was very important. At the time, I thought I would probably become either a math teacher, a professor, or a computer programmer, so I focused much more on math and did not take English as seriously as I should have.

Looking back, that was a mistake.

English is useful for just about everyone. If you become a boss, you need to be able to write clearly to your employees. If you work for someone else, you need to be able to communicate well with your boss. No matter what path you take in life, strong English skills can help you explain your ideas, understand other people, and present yourself more professionally.

That is one reason I think English practice matters so much.

In this new video, I show two useful areas of study:

  • Parts of Speech
  • Hypernyms

Parts of Speech help students understand how words function in a sentence. That foundation can make reading, writing, and grammar much easier.

Hypernyms help students understand word categories and broader meanings. They build vocabulary and help students see connections between words and ideas.

These skills may seem simple at first, but they support stronger communication, stronger reading comprehension, and better writing over time.

ExamGiant is being built step by step, and these videos are part of that process. I’m showing the features in a gradual way so students, parents, and teachers can clearly see what is available and how the practice works.

If English was not your favorite subject in school, you are definitely not alone. But it is one of those subjects that keeps helping you for the rest of your life.


More ExamGiant videos and more learning games are on the way.

Why Memory Matters: ExamGiant’s Musical Circles Memory Game

Image
  I just created a new video showing one of the games I personally think is the most important on ExamGiant: the Musical Circles Memory Game. Right now, students can practice in two active modes: Sights and Sounds Sight Only I think memory is one of the most important foundations for learning. When students remember more of what the teacher says, more of what they read, and more of what they practice, school becomes easier. Homework can feel less overwhelming, class can make more sense, and students can build confidence faster. This is not just my opinion. Research has shown that memory is closely connected to school performance. One study published in  Learning and Individual Differences  reported that “working memory predicted math and reading performance on all tasks.” Source:  PMC article  and  PubMed record . That does not mean memory is the only thing that matters, but it does mean memory is a very important part of learning well. In this game, studen...

New Civics and Government Games on ExamGiant

Image
  I just created a new video showing the current civics and government games on ExamGiant. Right now, this part of ExamGiant includes two game types: Civics and Government Number - President Name The Civics and Government game also includes three difficulty levels: Citizen Representative President! I like this because it gives students different ways to grow in their knowledge. A student can start at a simpler level and then work up to more advanced questions over time. That makes the game useful for practice, review, and building confidence. Civics and government are important because students should understand how their country works. Learning about the Constitution, amendments, rights, government structure, and other civics topics can help students become more informed, more thoughtful, and better prepared for adult life. The presidential game adds another useful skill. Students can practice matching the number of a president with the correct name. That is a fun and direct way t...
