Vocaland

Vocaland turns English vocabulary into something you actually want to come back to.

Every word is a little scene: a picture to recognize it by, a voice to say it out loud, and a game to make it stick. There are no lessons to sit through and no account to create. You open the app and you are learning.

NINE WORLDS TO EXPLORE

Animals, Jobs, Food, Nature, Travel, Emotions, Space, Music & Art, and Sports & Games. 136 illustrated words, each one with its meaning, its phonetic spelling, an example sentence you would really hear, and a few things worth knowing about it.

HEAR IT PROPERLY

Every word is spoken aloud in an American or British accent, at whatever speed suits you. Slow it right down when a sound is hard to catch. Selected words also carry a real recording, so you can hear an actual fox or an actual thunderstorm rather than a description of one.

FOUR WAYS TO BE TESTED

• Picture quiz - name what you see
• Listening - catch the word by ear alone
• Match the picture - go the other way round
• Spelling - type it out from memory

Plus swipe-through flashcards when you just want a fast review.

IT REMEMBERS WHAT YOU FIND HARD

Words you get wrong come back sooner. Words you already know step aside. Every quiz and every deck is built fresh from what you personally still need to practice, so your time goes where it counts.

BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING

A new word waits for you each day. A streak grows for as long as you keep showing up, and an optional reminder nudges you before you lose it. Save any word to your favorites, and watch each category fill up as you go.

IF ENGLISH IS NOT YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE

Turn on French or Arabic translations whenever you want them, and turn them off again when you are ready to think in English.

WHO IT IS FOR

Anyone building everyday English vocabulary: learners starting out, students revising, and parents looking for something their children will actually enjoy.
