Questions about Sport & fitness

Do I need an account to use Sport & fitness?

No. You can read every word, hear it and play its moments without signing in. A free account is only for starting a pack: Talk then adds 5, 10 or 20 of its words a day to your review and keeps your progress.

Where do the words in Sport & fitness come from?

From the Fitness English List 1.2 by Browne, C. & Culligan, B., shared under CC BY-SA 4.0. Talk grouped the words into 6 units and added how often its videos say each one, up to three video moments and a meaning chosen to match them.

How were the moments in Sport & fitness picked?

Each moment is one caption line from a video in Talk's catalog where the word is said. A word gets up to three, each from a different video, and a moment is dropped when its line no longer matches the video's captions. 543 of the 597 words have at least one moment, 486 have all three, and the rest show the dictionary only.

How is this different from Academic English?

They cover different ground: Sport & fitness is training, the body, health and sport, and Academic English is words for essays, lectures and talks. The two packs share 137 words, and 100 of those come with different moments in each pack.

Packs to try after Sport & fitness

287 of the 597 words here are in no other Talk pack. It shares 137 with Academic English, most of them with different moments.
