Pictan - See It, Learn It

8,000 words, each with its own image. Tap any word in a definition to see its picture. Review brings back just what you're about to forget.

You can read English. The grammar makes sense. But in a real conversation, the words just don't come. Pictan is a vocabulary app built to get you past that wall. For everyday conversation, not for tests.

Every word has an image Every one of the 8,000 words comes with its own original image. Your brain is better at remembering pictures than letters, so a word learned with an image is a word you can recall mid-conversation.

English-in-English, never over your head Definitions and examples are all in plain English. If a word is unfamiliar, just tap it: a popup shows its image and meaning right away. You never open a dictionary or a translator. Because every word has an image, even the words inside a definition can be grasped through pictures.

Vocabulary you'll actually use The words are chosen for daily conversation: things you can see, actions you do, states you feel.

Built to keep you going New words start with the picture, word, and meaning together. Once learned, reviews ask you to recall the word from the picture and definition, then tap to check. "I've seen this" becomes "I can say this." Review adjusts to each word — only the words you're about to forget come back, spaced so what you learn stays learned. Difficulty grows with you, from beginner to advanced — no placement test. You move up naturally as you learn.

Who it's for You studied English at school but freeze when it's time to speak. You've drifted away from flashcards and Duolingo.
