Textbook English may make sense on the page, but real conversations can still be hard to follow. Distinction is an English learning app that helps you move from recognising English to actually using it. It focuses on the words and phrases native speakers genuinely use in everyday life, but learners rarely meet in conventional study materials. With natural example sentences, native-speaker audio, word origins, English definitions, and pronunciation practice, everything you need to learn usable English is in one place. Supports Distinction I–VI and Structures. Includes 2,530 carefully selected words and phrases and 5,320 practical example sentences, created with five native speakers from the US, UK, and Australia. 【What makes Distinction different】 • Carefully selected real-life words and phrases • Natural example sentences and audio for every entry — American and British English • English definitions and etymology that help ideas stick • Pronunciation, listening, and speaking practice in one learning flow • Fully offline once downloaded — study on your commute, on flights, or abroad without using mobile data 【App features】 • Study Mode based on spaced repetition and active recall • Personalised study plans based on your time and goals • Automatic review of weaker items • Streaks, levels, XP, and completion certificates • Fast search across headwords, examples, and explanations • Speech recognition for pronunciation practice (main entries only; Structures excluded) • Audio filters, autoplay, and shuffle • Progress tracking with graphs and statistics 【Pricing】 • Free to try — 120 words + 7 structures included • Unlock only the titles you want with one-time in-app purchases • No subscription • No external ads
