Introduction: Since G Pad was got last week, I got to know the tablet is very useful for studying English especially for writing skills. Compared to smart phone and notebook, it has several advantages for accessibility.
1. Large screen for typing
With smart phone, it is a little bit hard to write long sentences and paragraph in limited screen. Notebook have enough size of the screen but has shortcoming on portability, easy to move.
I think 8 inch is enough to writing short essays about personal stories and not-hard articles. One third of the screen is for soft keyboard other two third is for focusing on current text editing.
Blogger app for tablet provides split view, through which I can see the list of article on the left and detail view is provided on the right side.
2. Free dictionary is available
It is all the same as the smart phone and laptop but with tablet it is much esasier to refer to the dictionary because with at a glance of the screen, we can see through the various meanings of the word found.
Merrian-Webster I just got downloaded from google app store and very satisfied with the poweful definition and usages of each word that I try to find. There are so many other good online dictionary for free download. G pad supports default Korean-English dictionary so it is also very useful. If you are eager to enrich your vocabularies, please don't hesitate to replace with English-English dictionaries.
3. Keyboard supports for spells
It is very annoying if you do not know exact spells of the words, which is important key words for your context. Nowaday soft keyboard supports word recommendations to help you put the right words and phrases.
For practicing English, we had better to paraphrase, which means that same words are recommended to use other similar words to enrich your word power.
Depending on keyboard supports only, we can have negative sides effects not to thinking about each spells in detail so when writing on the paper we could be helpless. I think after finishing each articles we should read aloud to check our products once again.
4. Blogger apps is recommended
Going through many apps and services such as WordPress, Naver blog and so on, Blogger.com is most comfortable and easy to sustain, in my opinion. It is based on google account and its app is quite stable to use web service and mobile apps including tablets like this.
If you have another good options, please share with me.
I have sad story about Spring Note service made by NC soft which is famous for MMORPG game. Sping note provides impressive user experiences and powerful funtions but only 2 years sustained. I have failed to backup my data so I was nervous at that time. I had much pages,schedules and reports on that when I worked at former company about three years.
Writing something is very hard to make into your habit but it is all the time recommeded to think more and formulate your own insights. Please give it a shot especially in English, Korean and as many as languages as you could.
