Hi everyone!
I’m thrilled to announce an exciting new feature on Daily Python Projects — Code Dictations! Starting today, we will publish three code dictation exercises every Friday on Daily Python Projects to give you even more value to your subscription, alongside the daily Python projects.
What is a code dictation?
A code dictation is a simple but highly efficient form of coding exercise that consists of a short 1-3 minute audio-only track where you listen to Python code narrated step by step while you simultaneously try to type the correct code in your code editor.
The narrated code is not explicit, but conceptual. That means, you will learn how to turn concepts into actual code. This is an excellent way to make things stick.
Why should learners commit to doing code dictations?
Code dictations are a simple but very effective way to memorize syntax. Here’s why:
✅ You learn to turn verbal instructions into written code.
✅ In contrast to video, audio instructions make you focus only on your own coding process.
✅ You compare your code with the correct code at the end and learn from your mistakes.
✅ It is a very fun way to learn coding.
Are code dictations free?
As an existing subscriber, you will receive one easy-level code dictation every Friday. If you are on our monthly or annual paid plan, you receive the same easy-level dictation, plus two extra advanced-level code dictations every Friday. Advanced-level dictations are longer and include more complex code such as for-loops, custom functions, etc.
How can you access code dictations?
We will send 1 easy dictation and 2 advanced ones every Friday. If you can’t wait until Friday, you can start today and do one of the existing dictations we have already published on Daily Python Projects in the link below:
Pick one of the dictations, listen to the audio, and try to type the narrated code in a code editor. It’s fun, and it will magically help you memorize Python code.
Keep coding,
Ardit
