Description:

Helps you learn words in any foreign language. And Latin & Greek!

Words are the most important part of learning any language, but they’re also the most time consuming and difficult to revise. You end up with long lists of words, and often no-one to help you learn them.

Vocab makes it easy to revise for tests - and learn the words - quickly and successfully. Add as many words as you like to a wordlist, choose “Use for Widget” to see a random word every time you show Dashboard. And when you’re ready, take a test to see how well you’re doing, and what you need to revise more. Vocab also enables you to track your progress, so you feel ready and really confident when it comes to the real thing.

Open a wordlist, hide the translation for revision, or use the built-in widget. Take tests every day, and see how well you're doing, on a graph
