Practice lessons are one of the main types of lessons. The content of such a lesson varies a little according to the Recording type.

Words

If a word has no breakdown, and no example phrases, then it makes no sense to have a lesson for it, since its just a word on its own little island.

Once a word has example phrases, then a Practice lesson can be created. The content of that Practice lesson will be:

• the word itself
• all the Example phrases for that word

This enables the student to practice the word by having questions with eithe the word or the phrases which use the word.

Example: 

The word dog currently has 21 examples, and therefore has a Practice lesson,  which contains:

• dog
• all the phrases which use dog (un beau chien, un chien, ...)

Phrases

A phrase already has enough content to be able to create a Practice lesson all on its own. This Practice lesson will basically contain:

• all the words within the phrase
• the phrase itself

It is possible that this phrase is part of a larger phrase, in which case the phrase will also contain:

• the parent phrase

Example:

The phrase he sees the dog playing with a ball has in the Practice lesson:

• the phrase he sees the dog playing with a ball
• the word "he"
• the word "sees"
• the word "dog"
• the word "playing"
• the word "with"
• the word "a"
• the word "ball"

Dialogues

Dialogues will have all the phrases in the breakdown tree (i.e. not necessarily just the child phrases, but if the dialogue is composed of dialogues, then the phrases in these dialogues).

Study the following dialogues to see what this looks like:

All about Diane (part 1) Practice lesson (notice how this is just the breakdown phrases)

All about Diane (dialogue) Practice lesson (notice how this is the phrases of the child dialogues)
