Loften — тренажёр, словарь и самоучитель английского в одном приложении. Английский с нуля или прокачка уже имеющегося уровня. Подготовка к IELTS, TOEFL, школьным и университетским экзаменам. Уровни от A1 до C1 (CEFR). 17 000 АНГЛИЙСКИХ СЛОВ В КОНТЕКСТЕ В приложении собрано 17 000 английских слов с картинками, озвучкой и примерами употребления. Слова изучаются в контексте по технике cloze — пропуски в предложениях, которые надо заполнить. Так слова запоминаются вместе со своей грамматикой и сочетаемостью, а не как голый перевод. АНГЛИЙСКАЯ ГРАММАТИКА A1–C1 Грамматика английского языка объясняется просто, наглядно и так, чтобы правило действительно запомнилось, а не вылетело из головы через день. К каждой теме — упражнения и review для закрепления. ЧТЕНИЕ НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ С ПЕРЕВОДОМ Настоящие английские книги прямо в приложении. Тап на незнакомое слово — мгновенный перевод и добавление в личный словарь. КОЛЛОКАЦИИ И ФРАЗОВЫЕ ГЛАГОЛЫ Устойчивые сочетания и фразовые глаголы — то, что отличает естественную английскую речь от дословного перевода. Для тех, кто хочет учить английский с нуля, подтянуть разговорный английский, расширить словарный запас, освоить английскую грамматику или начать читать английские книги в оригинале. Карманный репетитор английского и онлайн-словарь. — — — ПОДПИСКА PREMIUM Для доступа к контенту приложения требуется платная подписка Premium. Доступны месячный и годовой планы.

Merumi turns the time you already spend on your phone into a language you actually speak. ONE LESSON A DAY, IN THREE STEPS Meet new words on flashcards. Prove you know them in a quiz. Then use them in a sentence you write yourself — and an AI tells you what to fix and why, not just whether you were right. Spaced repetition brings every word back just before you would have forgotten it. POINT YOUR CAMERA AT ANYTHING Don't know the word for it? Photograph it. Merumi names it, says it out loud, and files it in your dictionary. LEARN FROM THE VIDEOS YOU ALREADY WATCH Paste a TikTok, Reel or Short — or share it straight into Merumi. You get the transcript with a translation under every line, and you can tap any word to see what it means. Keep the ones worth keeping. PUT A WORD IN FRONT OF THE APPS YOU OPEN TOO OFTEN Entirely optional, and entirely yours to set. Choose the apps. When you open one, a word appears instead, and a short quiz gets you in. Turn it off whenever you like. Merumi never sees which apps you picked — iOS doesn't tell it. WHAT'S INSIDE • Spanish for English speakers, English for Russian speakers • 5,400+ Spanish and 9,800+ English words, graded A1 to C2 • IELTS mode: the complete Academic Word List, in frequency order • Pronunciation on every word • Your own dictionary, synced across your devices • A daily goal you set yourself, and a streak worth keeping MERUMI PREMIUM Merumi is a subscription. It unlocks the daily lesson, the AI sentence exercise, the word scanner, the video breakdown and the app blocker. • Annual — includes a 3-day free trial • Monthly Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
