Introduction

Motto:

"Your Swiss Army Knife for English Learning"

We can be described as a next-generation vocabulary building portal that will radically change your English vocabulary learning experience.

The reason we define Dejavu English as a "portal" is that it brings together all the tools you need in your English language learning journey on a single platform. With the perfect harmony and integration between these tools, it provides you with the opportunity to rapidly develop your vocabulary.

• Word and Phrase Notebook:

  You can save new words and phrases you encounter in everyday life to your digital notebooks within the platform. This way, you'll have everything you've learned stored in a secure place. All these saved entries, if they appear in English texts you read, will be highlighted in the text with memory color codes according to their memorization status. In short, it will give you a dejavu effect while reading the text.

  
  
  
• AI-powered Integrated Dictionary:

  You add words to your notebook using the versatile dictionary within the platform. Dejavu dictionary is very different from traditional dictionaries. If you also write the sentence in which the word appears in the designated place in the dictionary, you'll learn the closest meaning of that word in the context of the sentence.

  

  The Dejavu Dictionary doesn't stop at these features. If the word you're looking for matches a sentence you've previously saved in your phrase notebook, it will show you this sentence as well. Thus, you get the chance to see how the word you're looking for was used in a sentence you've previously saved. This way, you better grasp the word's real-life usage and make your learning process more effective.

  
  
  
• Automatic Tracking:

  Every word you add to your notebook from the Dejavu dictionary is automatically tracked by Dejavu. The aim is to move that word from flash memory, which is tagged when you first save it, to your long-term memory.

  
  
  
• Practice and Repetition:

  Thanks to the sophisticated algorithm within Dejavu English, every word or phrase you add to your notebook is carefully monitored. With this algorithm, it reminds you at certain intervals based on each word's learning rating status. This way, it helps you transfer words from your short-term memory to your permanent long-term memory.

  
  
  

  Vocabulary acquisition in a language is reinforced through repetition and practice. Aware of this fact, Dejavu English supports the process of repetition and practice with highly sophisticated tools. These tools make your learning experience multifaceted and allow you to effectively expand your vocabulary.

  
  
  
• AI-Powered Language Tools:

  As its motto suggests, this portal is your Swiss Army knife for English learning. This is because all the tools you need in your English language learning journey are brought together on a single platform. There is perfect harmony and connection between all the tools. By using the Dejavu English portal, you will maximize your efficiency in language learning and developing your vocabulary.

  

• Anyone enthusiastic about learning English and seeking effective tools for this journey.
• Those who want to note down and learn new words they encounter while reading books, articles, or any text.
• Those who want to practice using the words they've learned in sentences.
• Those seeking a personalized and interactive dictionary experience beyond traditional dictionaries.
• Those who want to continuously improve their English level and enrich their vocabulary.
• Those who want to reinforce the words they've learned through regular repetitions and embed them in their long-term memory.

Dejavu English uses two fundamental approaches to improve your vocabulary in language learning:

1. Deductive approach

This method supports learning the word through its usage in a sentence and its context within that sentence.

It advocates learning idiomatic expressions as a whole in a language and using these expressions in your daily conversations. This way, you will both speak more fluently and be able to express your feelings much better to others. Over time, these idiomatic expressions will settle in your mind, allowing you to take your speaking or writing level to a higher level.

2. Approach of working with word/phrase pools created according to your own needs:

Another approach that Dejavu English advocates is to encourage you to save words and expressions you acquire by seeing, reading, or hearing from your environment into your digital notebook within the platform. This way, you will create your own word/phrase pools within the portal. Dejavu English doesn't dictate ready-made words to you like other language learning programs in the market - words and expressions that you may never use in your life. On the contrary, it helps you learn words and expressions that you save in your digital notebook and that have a memory for you.

Some scientific studies show that working with your personal word and phrase pool helps you learn these concepts faster and more effectively place them in your long-term memory.

Using this module while reading any English text or piece of writing will both aid your vocabulary learning and quickly give you an idea about which words you know at what level in the text. The Word Hunter can also be called a kind of intelligent text analyzer.

For example, when you copy any news article from BBC and paste it into this section and press Analyze, you'll be able to see which words you know at what level in the text with color codes. You can also quickly learn the meanings of underlined but uncolored words in the context of the sentence by clicking on them, thanks to the Dejavu Dictionary, and add them to your word notebook if you need.

Not only that, you can also learn how each word is used in which sentence in the text and save these sentences to your phrase notebook.

Far Superior to Its Counterparts

There are 3 important features that distinguish Dejavu English's text analyzer from others in the market. These are:

• The ability to capture all phrasal verbs in the text and learn their exact meanings in the context of the sentence from the Dejavu dictionary. For example, in the sentence I'll point him out to you next time he comes in, point him out will be underlined as a whole. (point and out will not be underlined separately) When you click on that underlined word group, Dejavu dictionary will show you the meaning of the phrasal verb "point out" in the context of the sentence.


• The clicked word will be searched in the Dejavu dictionary along with the sentence it's used in. Thus, the word will be considered in the context of the sentence and its closest meaning in your native language will be shown.


• Word groups such as as soon as possible, get used to, look forward, delve into will be underlined as a whole as they should be used and searched in the dictionary as such. This feature shows its difference from other text analysis programs in the market.

Sometimes you wonder to what degree the sentences you form in your mind are correct. For this purpose, we developed the Sentence Fixer, a sentence beautifier and corrector tool. It analyzes and corrects the sentence you enter in 3 different options and provides information about why it corrected certain parts in your native language . The explanations for these 3 options will appear when you select them.

The difference between this tool and the Writing Training & Analysis tool is that it's faster and simpler. If you wish, you can transfer the sentence you entered in this tool to the Writing Training and Analysis section with a single click.

In the Writing Training and Analysis, the passage you enter is analyzed sentence by sentence, and errors in your sentences are shown one by one with their corrections written.

Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, it checks your writing attempts on any topic like an English language teacher, considering the following criteria:

• Whether you've made any spelling mistakes,


• Whether the words are used correctly in the sentence,


• Whether there are any awkward phrasings in your sentences,


• Whether you've used incorrect grammar,


• Whether you've paid attention to punctuation marks,

Then it shows you the corrections on the text and provides detailed comments. These are excellent features for those practicing English writing.

For example, assuming you're using British English in the portal, you'll see that in the sentence "Please make it take out" , it changes take out to takeaway . Because takeaway is used in British English.

Thanks to the sophisticated algorithm within Dejavu English, every word or phrase you add to your notebook is carefully monitored. With this algorithm, it reminds you at certain intervals based on each word's learning rating status. This way, it helps you transfer words from your short-term memory to your permanent long-term memory.

After Dejavu reminds you, it helps you transfer these words and phrases to your permanent memory by making you practice with specially prepared tasks for you.

After practicing with the day's tasks, you can continue to practice with other phrases and words in your notebook using the training room if you wish.

For those learning English as a second language, pronouncing some personal names, proper nouns, or street and city names can be challenging.

On this page, you can learn how such words are pronounced in different English accents. For example, words like "San Juan", "Gemini", "Strathclyde" , and so on.

You can even learn how proper nouns in other languages are pronounced in those languages. For instance, if you're working at a company in France, you can learn here how to pronounce a French colleague's name in French.

Dejavu English will compile morning and afternoon news for you every day according to your interests.

Our morning edition will be automatically available to you as you start your day, while the updated version will be accessible in the afternoon.

News collected from different sources will be adapted to B1+ English level . Thus, it will be ready to read in a way that supports your language learning.

There are two different characters ready to assist you. You'll see the characteristics of these characters and their creation purposes when you select them.

Unlike other AI chat applications, Dejavu English has been optimized considering the user's language learning and works in interaction with your word notebook in your portal. These aspects give it a unique feature.

For instance, the sentences in the character's responses to you are analyzed and words in your notebook are colored with memory color codes. (Such as flash, short-term, long-term memories)

Additionally, words that are not in your notebook and might interest you are underlined in the sentences the AI responds with. When you click on the underlined words, Dejavu dictionary searches for that word in the dictionary, taking the sentence it appears in, and shows you the meaning of the word considering its context in the sentence.

Dejavu English characters use ChatGPT 4 infrastructure and language model in the background. But it adds more features to it, making language learning more fun and comfortable.

With regular reminders and practice exercises, it ensures that new words are embedded in your long-term memory. Thus, it works for you to learn each word thoroughly.

In language learning, learning idiomatic expressions adds fluency and professionalism to your speech. Dejavu English believes that the 'deductive' method is one of the most effective methods in language learning and offers tools supporting this method. One of these tools is the 'Phrase Notebook'.

The Phrase Notebook is a powerful tool that you can use not only for language learning but also to improve your personal rhetoric skills. This feature helps you express yourself more effectively and naturally in the language you're learning.

It's enough to write here the word you want to search in your word notebook or find in the Dejavu dictionary. Dejavu English contains a very advanced integrated dictionary supported by artificial intelligence. It provides you with information about the word you search for from many aspects.

Some of these include:

Saving words to your word notebook:

The word you save to your notebook will immediately be tracked by Dejavu English and it will help you transfer it to your long-term memory by reminding you at certain periods (via email or WhatsApp message) and then making you practice.

Bilingual search feature

The integrated dictionary in Dejavu English has the ability to perform bilingual searches . Such as from English to your native language or from your native language to English.

When searching for a word in your native language, you should write it in its base form. For example, you should write "take a shower" instead of "took a shower" . This helps you get better results.

For an example of how the dictionary shows you the meaning in the context of the sentence, let's take the word "advanced". The advanced in the sentence "This computer has advanced features" and the advanced in the sentence "Japan is an advanced country" are expressed with different words in English. See how Dejavu English distinguishes this and shows it to you:

Improve your speaking and writing skills in English with rhetoric tools:
