Today, English can be studied not only in stuffy audiences or under the guidance of expensive teachers, but also with the help of applications specially designed for your smartphones.

Words

If you look into the “Education” section of the App Store, then the Words application can be found there in the first places. And this is not surprising. Its base contains more than 8 thousand words. In addition, having downloaded this application and installing it on your gadget once, you can use it offline mode.

The main merit of the Words application is that it is able to adapt to a particular user. When re -using this application, it will give the user the words with which he had problems with previous inclusions of the program. This approach allows you to significantly expand the vocabulary without any problems.

The program is available not only in the official application store for iOS, but also in Play Market.

  • I need to know English at work. Previously, I found podcasts with voice acting and text, printed texts, translated and listened at the same time.
    Now I have found the perfect Android-application for English practice-it combines all these functions: listening, English text and Russian translation + unfamiliar words can be added to favorites. I am very pleased with such a find, I advise everyone.
