English Words 4 Beginners

Newly revised based on feedback from some of our 125,000 users, this word recognition and language learning tool provides a new “Touch” mode which allows new readers and language learners to simply touch pictures and words to hear native voices saying common words in English. In Touch Mode, users can press any word in any set, as often as they like, and hear the sounds for each word in a clear voice.

English Words 4 Beginners is also a simple “match the words to pictures” (and “match pictures to words”) game for children learning to read or others just learning English. A fun little game that includes 16 sets of words, including word sets for transport, clothes, foods and many useful verbs, adjectives, and other nouns. Match pictures with words; enjoyed by children aged 4 to 7. Can be used for ESL learners as well! Learn and Play modes provide additional interaction to reinforce and test recall and assist with pronunciation. All words voiced by native English speaker.

This app is designed to help with native speaker pronunciation and word recognition as part of a larger effort to learn a new language. Being able to hear a native speaker is critical to language development, as is the basic ability to recognize words. Word recognition can be especially difficult across the Indo-European (English, French, Spanish, Italian and German) and Sino-Tibetan (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) language divide. Similarly, the divide between tonal and non-tonal languages also complicates learning the ability to hear and speak a new kind of language.

The app can also be useful for new language learners, first learning to read even in their own language, or to second language learners that do not have easy or frequent access to native speakers of their target language.

This app is not designed as a general-purpose language learning too, but as an aide to these specific tasks.
