Learn
The app starts teaching the words with flash cards. Mark your knowledge with a smiley, the chosen algorithm will be scheduling the words accordingly and repeating more frequently the ones you don’t know. The weakest words will be asked with additional task types: spelling games, ‘choose from five’ exercises and word finder.
This feature will teach you the words permanently especially if you listen to them too right after learning.
Listen to
The app will be organizing the words into a globe and rotating them around, while reading out the words with their meaning. The current word pauses for a second so you can read it. This feature supports AirPlay. The audio file can be paused, saved and shared via email, AirDrop, etc.
This feature creates your own listening materials: 1-2000 words with their meaning. Listen to your saved listening files, the last learned session right after learning, the scheduled words or all words. Listening will strengthen your knowledge.
