Hauptfunktion(en): Autonomous learning

Playphrase is a tool that searches specific words or phrases out of movie snippets from a database of audiovisual media with over 60,000 phrases. In this manner, it provides real-life examples of words’ and sentences’ pronunciation. Users just have to type specific phrases, watch them being used naturally in context within popular movies and TV shows, and listen to their pronunciation. Playphrase works mainly with English. Playphrase is not open-source, but it is freely available. It does not require setting up an account or signing in. Bewertung: Playphrase is an easily accessible tool for users to learn how to pronounce words or sentences, based on movie examples. Learners can see and hear how phrases are used in natural conversations, enhancing comprehension and pronunciation. Teachers can use it as a supplementary resource to create engaging lessons. As a downside, learners can look for any word or sentence on Playphrase, and the platform does not filter content for rude or abusive language. Thus, it could be problematic if students were to play out loud in the class what they found on Playphrase. Importantly, Playphrase mainly shows content in English, specifically American English, since this is the language of most media in its database. Playphrase does not demand any IT skills.
