  • Small Talk

The first way to study English with AskUp is to practice having daily conversations on one or two topics every day . Many people may have had the frustrating experience of having a conversation in English, having a lot of things they wanted to say in their head, but not knowing where to start and how to say it. Now, try using AskUp's English conversation mode and start having conversations about everyday, trivial topics.

Small talk plays an important role in everyday conversation, especially in the English-speaking culture where people talk friendly even with strangers. With AskUp, try a variety of conversations, from small topics such as hobbies, travel, daily routine, favorite food, and interests to discussions about social/scientific issues. If you don't know what topic to start a conversation with, it's a good idea to ask AskUp to suggest topics you can discuss together , such as “Please give me a topic to talk about.” or “Please give me interesting topics to discuss.” no see.


  • Learn everyday English expressions

You can also recognize expressions frequently used in daily life. Use AskUp to learn how to express the same words differently or to learn more natural colloquial expressions and apply them usefully to actual conversations.

  • Create example sentences containing specific words and phrasal verbs

In order to speak a language, it is important to know vocabulary well. If you create and read example sentences containing specific words or phrasal verbs, you can better understand how they are actually used. You can create texts containing specific words in the format you want, such as sentences, paragraphs, and short stories. You can also specify the inclusion of multiple words as a condition, so try learning vocabulary through various example sentences.



  • Create a Quiz

When you think of studying English vocabulary, one of the first learning activities that comes to mind is reviewing what you have memorized by making it into a quiz. Another method is to first give AskUp a specific word or topic and ask it to create a quiz using it. You can review English words by creating quizzes in a variety of ways, including filling in the blank spaces in sentences, antonyms, synonyms, definitions, and tense transformations.

  • grammar correction

If you've studied English conversation and vocabulary with AskUp, why not try writing? Grammar is the most difficult part when writing in English. Even if you don't go to a separate grammar correction site, try correcting grammar within the AskUp chat window.

“Please correct the following sentence.”
“Could you please proofread the following sentences?”

When you want to ask for grammar to be taught, give instructions as shown above, including words such as “correct” and “proofread,” and then send the sentences you want to receive feedback on.
