The Phrasal Verbs Machine

Phrasal verbs are complicated to pick up for those who are learning English. It’s an essential part of the English culture, therefore we have to learn how to use them if we want our writing and speaking to sound natural. However, studying them is not something easy, there are thousands of them and they normally come in unending lists explaining each of their meanings but this becomes ineffective unless you have the memory of an elephant. Thus, memorizing them doesn't seem to be the best way to learn and use them efficiently. Phrasal verbs are, more than anything, action. And action must be visual. The more visually stimulating the learning, the better we will understand and assimilate the phrasal verbs.

The Phrasal Verbs Machine uses a character named The Amazing Phraso, who is a phrasal verb expert. He helps out students with the understanding of 100 different phrasal verbs by means of visual animations. Phraso reaches out to his friends in order to carry out the varied situations.

A phrasal verb, most of the time, has more than one meaning, the application works sometimes with the most known of the meanings but in other occasions it can provide an unknown one. Notwithstanding, there is an example sentence that can always be found along with the proper meaning of the actual phrasal verb.

The Phrasal Verb Machine, allows people to study the different types of phrasal verbs, to then, go onto the exercise section, as I will be doing in my presentation.
