Wow! What a great program! I am using it to help the students prepare for the speaking part of their final. They not only see the words but also hear themselves pronouncing them. What a time saver! In the past, I would have the students record words or stories and then go and listen. Now Speakable guides them and I get to spend time with the students that really need the extra help. It's super easy to import my Quizlet lists.
