Pictan — English with Images

Images make vocabulary stick. Pictan is a vocabulary app for learners who want to learn English words in English. Original images for all 8,000 words Learn each word together with an image so it stays in memory. Images are not limited to a sample or a few levels: every word in the 8,000-word catalog has one. Stay in English without getting stuck Definitions and examples are in English. If an unfamiliar word appears inside one, tap it to see its image and English definition on the same card. Keep the context without leaving for a dictionary or translator. Practical vocabulary, organized by level The catalog focuses on objects, actions, and states used in real life rather than test-prep lists. Forty levels range from introductory to expert vocabulary. Recall first, then check Every card starts by asking you to recall the word from its picture, English meaning, and letter hints. Show the answer, choose "I knew it" or "Not yet," and that answer decides when the word comes back. "I've seen this" becomes "I can recall this." Letter hints adapt to how well you know each word: a new word shows more of its letters, and the hints fade as you recall it more reliably. The app decides what to study Tap "Start learning" and the app picks today's reviews and new words for you. A round is up to twenty cards and takes a few minutes. End early and everything you answered is kept. Review timing adjusts to each word, so only what you are about to forget comes back — just before you forget it. Spaced repetition helps what you learn stay with you. Watch your learning take shape The vocabulary tree on Home grows its trunk and branches as you learn more words, and its leaves darken as words take root. Leaves droop when a review is overdue, and the soil dries out when reviews pile up. Take a break and the trunk and branches you have grown remain. Each difficulty grows its own tree. A short check at the start places you at the right difficulty. Difficulty runs from beginner to expert, and you can always pick a different one yourself. Who it's for You have the basics and want to understand vocabulary in English. You tried an English dictionary but kept getting stopped by unfamiliar words inside the definitions.
