Many people want to speak English confidently, but find it hard to build strong grammar habits or use the right verbs in conversation. Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated or know where to begin—especially when trying to learn English independently. This app helps you focus on one of the most important parts of the English language: verbs. It offers clear explanations, practical exercises, and real-life examples, so you can feel more confident in your daily English use. Inside the grammar section, you'll find detailed lessons covering everything from regular to irregular verbs, modal verbs, phrasal verbs, verb tenses, and more. After reading a short chapter, you can test your understanding right away with grammar practice that includes over 15 types of exercises. Learning through context makes everything easier to remember. That's why the app includes short readings from famous books and articles from magazines and newspapers. You’ll see how verbs are used naturally in different situations, and practice selecting the correct verb or tense to complete a sentence. It’s an effective way to build vocabulary and better understand the rhythm of the language. Interactive tasks make learning feel like a game. Sentences appear on the screen with missing verbs. Choose the correct option and check your answer immediately. This kind of smart assistant is always available to support your progress at your own pace. The app is especially helpful for people preparing for IELTS or TOEFL exams. It’s also useful for those who already attend an English course and want to reinforce what they’ve learned. Adults starting from zero will find the step-by-step explanations easy to follow, and anyone who wants to return to English after a break can use it to refresh their knowledge. – Perfect for self-learners looking for clear and structured grammar help – Great for students and professionals preparing for TOEFL or IELTS – Helpful for anyone who wants to speak English more fluently – Useful for people studying in courses and needing extra grammar practice – Ideal for learners who want to build vocabulary and understand different verb tenses – Designed for those who like to read and learn through context from books and articles Whether you're focused on English for work, study, or personal growth, this app supports your journey with the tools that matter: grammar, vocabulary, and verbs in use. Reading, listening, and testing come together to make your learning process smoother. With consistent practice, your grammar will improve, your vocabulary will grow, and your ability to speak English will become more natural. The more you interact with the language, the more confident you will feel. Support: appsfenls@gmail.com Terms of use & Privacy policy: https://apps.fenls.com/legacy.html
PairLingo

PairLingo isn't a template flashcard app — it's built to learn any language pair, at your own pace, with your own words. What actually sets it apart: FOUR WAYS TO PRACTISE Match words in two columns, type the translation from memory, hear a word and type what you understood, or flip flashcards and rate yourself. Matching trains recognition, typing and listening train recall, and cards let you grade each word on a four-step scale — which is what lets the review schedule tell "barely knew it" apart from "knew it instantly". TRULY ANY LANGUAGE PAIR Not just English-Hungarian. Combine any two languages — Spanish-Japanese, German-Russian, whatever you're learning. Pick from 24 curated languages for manual entry, or import a CSV for virtually unlimited language combinations. SMART CSV IMPORT, NOT JUST "UPLOAD" Most similar apps just read the file. PairLingo detects when a word's translation changed (typo fix), warns you about accidentally-duplicated groups with similar names, and lets you decide row by row how to resolve conflicts — update the existing word, or add it as new. PHOTO IMPORT, NO TYPING NEEDED See a word list in a textbook? Just take a photo. PairLingo recognizes the words and groups straight from the picture — entirely on your device, nothing ever uploaded — and shows you exactly what it found before anything's added, so you can fix any mistake first. REAL PRIVACY, NOT JUST A PROMISE No backend server. No account required. No ads, no tracking code. Your words sync across your own devices through your own iCloud account — the developer has no technical way to access your data, even if they wanted to. REAL SPACED REPETITION Not a fixed "wrong answers" bin — PairLingo calculates its own review schedule per word. Words you know well come back less often; tricky ones return sooner. Tap any card to hear it read aloud in its native pronunciation, too. A GENUINELY MULTILINGUAL INTERFACE Not just the content — the app's own interface is available in 6 languages (English, Hungarian, German, Spanish, French, Italian), switchable instantly with no relaunch. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC One app for all your Apple devices. On iPad, the topics and review rows flow into a grid that fills the wide screen; on the Mac, a native app brings a window toolbar, a full menu bar with keyboard shortcuts and a Settings window. Your words and progress stay in sync between all of them through your own iCloud account. MORE FEATURES • A friendly little spider mascot who celebrates your flawless rounds and cheers you on after a slip • Optional example sentences on any word, shown once you've seen the answer — write your own, or import them via CSV • Manual word entry, group management (edit, delete, rename, merge) • Optional daily reminder, at a time you choose — a local notification, no server involved • Choose your round size (4–10 words) and which direction to be asked in • Stats: daily practice streak, a seven-day practice chart, per-group accuracy • 6 clean, matte color themes • Built-in help • Ready-made starter word lists at all 6 CEFR levels (A1–C2), for English or Hungarian paired with Spanish, German, Portuguese, or Italian — import any level, any pair, anytime PairLingo is built by an independent developer with an original codebase — not a purchased template.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PairLingo at none against Speak English's 5. PairLingo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Speak English's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
