Applications for learning English words help to quickly and efficiently replenish lexicon. Without working on learning new vocabulary, words may simply be forgotten or remain in the passive vocabulary, so it is extremely important not only to learn the meaning of an unfamiliar word, but also to make an effort to remember it.
Vocabulary Trainer (10,000 words and phrases)
An excellent application that takes into account your level of English and how much time you are willing to devote to training. First, you need to fill out information about yourself so that the application will create a training plan for you: level, why you are studying the language, how long you can study. There are two modes: advanced learning (for memorizing words) and quiz (for repeating them). The second mode allows you to test yourself and consolidate words in memory. I was pleased that you can add not only words from the application, but also create your own list of words. This is very convenient if you prefer to learn words from books, movies, etc. In the settings you can change the speed to a more convenient one for you. To start, you are given a list of words and then exercises to remember them. At the same time, in one “set” the exercises are varied: enter the word after listening, select a picture for the word, enter the word by letter, etc.
In the main menu, you can select the function of creating your own list, reading news mode, learning words in your sleep mode, watching your record and even listening to the radio in English.

English Vocabulary Trainer
The application offers to learn about 5,000 English words that are used most often. Suitable for beginners and users with intermediate knowledge. It will also be useful for students who speak English high level, but having problems with spelling.
To begin with, you should select the difficulty level of the classes: Easy - corresponds to the beginner level, Medium - below average, Difficult - solid average level. You can select all three levels at once, then simple words will alternate with more complex ones. You are also asked to choose which parts of speech you want to learn, you can leave the settings on automatic to work on learning all parts of speech. In the settings, you can edit the initially selected data, as well as change the pronunciation speed. Slow playback is automatically selected, it is better to speed it up a little.
To get started, click the “play” button located in the center of the screen, and then the exact same button under the list of words. By the way, the words in the application will be divided into several lists, depending on whether you know them. For example, words that you were unable to translate during training will be added to the “difficult” list, so you won’t have to spend a long time looking for unfamiliar words to repeat. In addition to choosing a translation for words, it is possible to practice by choosing antonyms and synonyms for words.
UVocab
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zenapps.zenvocabbuilderfree&hl=ru
An excellent simulator for creating cards with words and learning them. After downloading, three modes will be available to you.
Learn
In this mode, you select words to study. By clicking on the planet icon, you can select any of the suggested dictionaries to search for a word. A huge plus is that you can search for words that you really need, and not those that the application suggests. Searching through dictionaries allows you to look at all the meanings of words and examples of their use, so it won’t be empty cramming without understanding the context.
Test
This is the actual training mode. Here you can select a test where you can work on a specific list of words, for example, work on words that you did not remember the previous time, or on words from the “favorite words” list. Also in this mode, you can choose word-match training, where the words are divided into two columns, and you need to select synonyms for the words of the first from the second column. You can track your progress in statistics.
Revise
Here you can create flash cards, view your “favorite” words, as well as words that you could not remember.
Oxford English Vocabulary Trainer
The developers position this application as an excellent vocabulary learning tool for those who are preparing to take international exams, as well as for people who work in an English-speaking environment. That is, this application is suitable for those who seriously study English and have a level of at least intermediate.
To get started, you should log in via Facebook, email, or create an account. Then you need to choose your native language, press “start” and wait a little while the content loads . Next, you are asked to choose one of two things: study using the Oxford coursebook or work on general vocabulary. Having chosen the first option, you need to choose a textbook for yourself. For example, choose one of the books on business English. You can simply view the list of suggested vocabulary or select a training mode. It is possible to create lists of your own words. When you select "general vocabulary" you will also be offered a list of books: academic vocabulary, keywords for business, the most necessary English words and vocabulary by topic (for beginners and advanced levels).
In the settings, you can change the audio pronunciation: British or American, select the mode of translation of words or their interpretation, set a reminder of when you would like to start training, and also select the “dynamics” of the classes.
In general, the application is perfect for those who have at least an average level of knowledge and have a clearly defined goal in learning English.
Vocabulary Trainer
This application does not have ready-made word lists, so you will have to fill it out yourself. You can create as many lists as you like and then work on each one. In the first column you can write down the word itself, and in the second - its translation or interpretation. Then you can choose the mode of working on words to memorize them as quickly as possible. When you select Trainer, you will be given a word and you must remember its meaning, or you can look at the hint and check the correct answer by clicking on the question mark. If you can't immediately remember the translation, it's better to think a little before peeking at the answer. The remaining two workouts are connecting words with their meanings. In match training mode, the application does not read the Cyrillic alphabet, so if possible, it is better to write down the interpretation of the word in English or a synonym for it.
Color Verbs
Super app for learning and revision irregular verbs. After choosing a language, you are given a list of irregular verbs, with its meaning written under each word. If you want to see more detailed information about a verb - just click on it. You will see a word with a bright picture for it, which will facilitate memorization, synonym and/or interpretation, and will also be given an example of use in a sentence. A transcription for each verb form and an example of pronunciation in audio format are also provided. In the “Practice” section, you can select verbs that you want to learn or repeat. You can test yourself by selecting the “Exam” mode. Here you need to select your level, after which the program will select words for you. You will be given a definition of the word, and your task is to enter all three forms of the described verb.
Phrasal Verbs Dictionary
There is nowhere in English without phrasal verbs, so it is very important to learn them, and most importantly, not to get confused with them. This great app will help you learn them. It is suitable for those who speak English at least at an intermediate level. Here you can choose a study mode using cards or a game learning mode. The cards offer you great amount lessons, each of which includes a portion of verbs, each comes with an explanation in English, an example of use and pronunciation. Then each completed lesson can be consolidated in game mode. The app has a very cool mini-game where you not only need to know the meaning of phrasal verbs, but also be able to quickly navigate, otherwise you will lose and have to start all over again. Despite the fact that the toy is quite simple, you can get stuck on it and learn verbs faster.
Business English words
This application is specifically for those who are learning English for communication in a business environment, for taking courses, and for reading professional literature. To begin, you are asked to select a section: business deals, business people, banking, etc. After selecting a section, a list of words will appear in front of you, each of which comes with an explanation and an example of pronunciation. In order to select a word to study, simply put a “bird” under it. To view examples of use, click on the term. To practice words, go to the main menu and select “testing”.
A huge advantage of apps for learning English words is that you can study for a few minutes a day anywhere. For example, you can spend 10 minutes repeating new words in transport or during a break at work. We hope the selection will be useful to you. We wish you to reach new heights :).
In this article I’ll tell you about a good way to memorize new words and phrases, as well as free programs designed for this.
Good morning friends! I hope you have great mood and enjoy your weekend! In this short article, I would like to tell you about two cool programs that will help you make the process of memorizing new words and phrases easier and more fun! You may have already heard about these applications, but nevertheless, I want to share this information with you.
First of all, how can you remember new words and phrases? The method is very simple - constantly refresh them in your memory. As a rule, the vocabulary that you actively use does not require repetition, because you end up absorbing it very well. These words and phrases are stored deep in your active memory. This is a known fact. The more extensive your active vocabulary, the better your English. The programs I'm going to tell you about will help you expand your active vocabulary through spaced repetition.
What is spaced repetition? This is the systematic repetition of words and phrases at regular intervals. The programs presented below are based on this:
1) ABBYY Lingvo Tutor.
This is an additional application that is installed automatically from ABBYY dictionary Lingvo. You can download the dictionary and find out more about how to use the program at.
ABBYY Lingvo Tutor is a program that allows you to create special cards that include words and phrases that you want to remember. For example, you need to remember 10 new words or phrases. Launch the program, create a new card and start studying with it. The program allows you to schedule classes by time. That is, the program will automatically start the lesson after a certain period of time. I advise you to try it.
Lingo Tutor has many more useful features, which you can learn about from the article “You don’t have this dictionary yet? Install!” I provided a link to it above.
2) Anki.
Another very useful program, designed for convenient memorization of any information. Alternatively, English words or phrases. It is also based on repeating cards (catalogs) at intervals. All you have to do is make a card and start practicing on it. Just like ABBYY Lingvo Tutor, Anki will automatically launch scheduled lessons. Anki has more customization options than Lingvo Tutor. One of them is recording the pronunciation of words, which makes the learning process more effective and interesting. You can read about how to use Anki in

A polyglot is a simple and quick way learn English.
In just a few minutes a day you will learn how to write sentences in English.
We have specially optimized the lessons for mobile devices. Information is given in a compressed form, then repetition is fixed in memory.
IN short time You will learn how to correctly construct simple expressions in English, and you will quietly learn many new English words.
Those who move to the United States often face the question: how to learn English if they have never spoken it before. One of the options (besides schools and speaking clubs) is mobile applications. Their advantage is that you can practice anywhere convenient location and at any time convenient time. The downside is that without live communication you still won’t be able to speak English. However, with the necessary discipline and regularity of study, with the help of mobile applications you can lay a good foundation for the future of fluent English. The study method, and therefore the mobile application itself, must be chosen based on your personality type. After all, what is good for a visual learner is not suitable for an auditory learner, and is generally a waste of time for a kinesthetic learner. “Forum” selected ten best apps for different tastes, which will help in learning the language.
1. Polyglot
Lessons in "Polyglot" are structured in such a way that everything must be read and spoken out loud. Screenshot of the application.
This is a simulator for teaching English, created based on the TV show of the “Culture” channel - “Polyglot. Learn English in 16 hours." The course of sixteen lessons was developed by the famous linguist Dmitry Petrov. If you don't get scared at the start, you can come to the finish line as a winner. And at the start: the verb tense scheme, which is the basis of language. The essence of the technique is that you bring everything that you are asked to learn to automaticity. The lessons are structured according to the scheme that everything must be read and pronounced out loud. You won’t be able to “skip”: you won’t be allowed into the second lesson until you score a certain number of points in the first.
Price: The first three lessons are free; you can download all 16 lessons for $2.99.
2. Easy ten
When you find out that the author of this application is plastic surgeon, you understand why it is not only useful and convenient, but also aesthetically beautiful. This application took into account that it is not always only beginners who want to expand their vocabulary. In the app, you can select words to memorize from those categories where you have the most gaps. You need to choose your level of training and, based on it, the “robot” will replenish your vocabulary. A handy thing: put the words you want to learn into a special player, and they will be spoken out loud again and again - in English and Russian. You can search for and add to the lists the words you decide to learn. For example, translate a foreign text and, so that new words are not forgotten, create a list of them, which is given to you in portions, according to the methodology conceived in the application.
There is a Tamagotchi function. Remember that electronic animal that reminded you when it needed to be fed? The “conscience” built into the application will definitely remind you: it’s time to learn 10 new words. It seems that “10 a day” is not enough? But “300 a month” sounds much more respectable.
Price: The application can be used for free for three days, then you need to buy it full version for $4.99 per month or $19.99 per year.
3. DuoLingo
When using the DuoLingo application, T9 should be turned off, because if you use the hints, you will deceive not the application, but yourself. Screenshot of the application.
The best place to start working with DuoLingo is to take a test that tests your knowledge. You will have to be as honest as possible, just like with a doctor or lawyer. The program remembers mistakes and will then offer to repeat those words that are written or understood incorrectly.
In DuoLingo, you can choose your own level and tempo. The entire learning process takes place in game form. Each level has three lives. Spent it - start over.
The application also has a function from the “Please, slow down, I’m recording” series: if you don’t understand what a native speaker is saying, you can choose an option where the same phrase is pronounced very slowly.
The downside is that there is not enough information on grammar, so to get the full experience you will have to download another application in which strong point it will be grammar.
Price: For free.
4. LinguaLeo
The LinguaLeo app will add words like “sharp tracker” or “meatball” to your vocabulary. Screenshot of the application.
A sort of “Big Brother” who immediately conducts a strict test and determines the level of knowledge of English. Confused by all the a-the-an - get all the grammar lessons you deserve. New words can be learned by choosing sections. If it is convenient to perceive by ear - listen, with your eyes - look at the illustrations. This is one of the few apps that doesn't leave grammar for later. She devotes a lot of time, and her knowledge is constantly tested. If you make a mistake, you will have to master this form, topic or construction again.
If you are a kinesthetic learner, this app is just right for you. During training, you will have to, for example, translate lyrics of songs, favorite TV series and films. You can’t think of a more accurate appeal to your memories and imagination.
There are no “reminders” in the application: if you didn’t study, it’s your own fault, no one will remind you, no one will send notifications either.
In the application you can buy “golden status” and get full access to all functions, for example, to a more in-depth study of grammar.
The dictionary can be independently expanded and replenished not only with words, but also with entire sentences. Since the form of training is playful, be prepared for words like “sharp tracker” or “meatball” to appear in your vocabulary.
Price: For free.
5.RosettaStone
Rosetta Stone is designed for those who like to play association games. Screenshot of the application.
This is one of the very high-quality assistants for learning American English. Basic knowledge and the basics can be learned for free, then it depends on which application you download. A number of applications have been developed based on this technique.
Rosetta Stone is suitable for those who like to play association games. All training is based on them. The method is convenient in that it covers all areas that need to be taken into account when studying the English spoken in America: spoken language, grammar, and the ability to hear correctly.
Price: The first lessons are free, the full package of lessons is $500.
6. Effortless English
Effortless English/ AJ Hoge is another app for learning American English. His motto is to teach with your ears, not your eyes. A teacher from San Francisco has developed his own system, which is based not on learning the rules of grammar, but on what you listen to short stories, and then his explanations of these stories.
Next is the trick: you listen to the same story in indefinite tenses, continuous tenses, perfect tenses and perfect continuous tenses. By comparing how it all sounds, you understand how tenses “work” in English. From an easy level you can go to a difficult one, and then to the most difficult one.
Price: The application can be used for free, but additional levels can be purchased for $1.99 if desired.
7.LingQ
The application is completely different from its competitors. Such a large library and database of online lessons, perhaps, is not found in any other application. A convenient feature: the application remembers which words were difficult for you, marks them and periodically “throws in” the information so that Difficult words were repeated and remembered. The paid version differs from the free one in that it allows you to communicate with the teacher, but even without this function, the application has enough functions for those who want to learn to understand, write, and read fluently. Important nuance: for quality work It is advisable to have a constant Internet connection.
Price: The application can be used for free, but you can purchase the opportunity to communicate with the teacher from $10 to $79, depending on the intensity.
8.BritishCouncil
Courses with the same name are probably known to everyone who has made the decision to invest in the most serious textbooks and learn the most correct English. The courses of the British Council British Council have already moved from online to format mobile application. Each of the applications (and there are about a dozen of them: a separate one for grammar, a separate one for listening comprehension, a separate one for children) was downloaded by more than a million users. The trial version is enough to understand whether the method of British linguists is right for you. Don't neglect the Phonics Stories app, which is also part of the BritishCouncil family. It is designed for children, but, in fact, not every adult will cope with the tasks the first time, especially those related to listening comprehension of stories and stories.
Price:The first lessons are free, the whole package is about t $0.99 to $1.57 per lesson or topic.
9.Anki
Do you like to play cards? Remember new words at the association level? And still wonder why such a simple and convenient game is not offered in all applications? Because there is a completely independent and very popular application for flash cards - Anki. You can immediately select topics that interest you, download cards and learn words on the desired topic. And so that they are not forgotten, the application includes a repetition function: after a certain interval of time, you will definitely be reminded of the material you have covered.
Price: For free.
10.Words
This application is recommended and called the best among educational ones by Apple itself. Words was recognized as the best application for learning English words, entered the top best applications of 2014 and became Best new App in the same 2014. If you trust it, try it, especially since the application is available for both Apple products and competitors with the Android operating system.
A big plus of the application: it can work without an Internet connection. The dictionary contains about 10,000 words, and what words to learn and what to focus on during classes will be decided by the program itself, which can adapt to you after a verification test.
The application contains 330 lessons. In one lesson you can learn 20-30 new words. The free version contains only the first five lessons, which can impress a beginner, but greatly disappoint those whose vocabulary at the everyday level does not need to be replenished, but already has the basics of grammar. But if you decide to get acquainted more seriously, get a 40,000-word dictionary and the ability to create independent lessons, that is, give tasks to the program: they say, by tomorrow I want a dozen or two new words and tasks about integrals and jumps. And you will get it!
Price: For free.
Unfortunately, none of the applications can download such additional function like perseverance and perseverance. You will have to find them in yourself! Unfortunately, it doesn’t work any other way.
