About

Wordaboo

Read full description

Wordaboo teaches a language the way you would actually learn one: a few minutes at a time, with pictures instead of translations, and every word spoken aloud. TWENTY COURSES, EVERY ONE TO B2 • French, for English speakers — 166 lessons • German, for English speakers • Spanish, for English speakers • English, for French speakers • English, for Russian speakers • English, for Spanish speakers • English, for Portuguese speakers • English, for Uzbek speakers • English, for Turkish speakers • English, for Indonesian speakers • English, for Hindi speakers • German, for Spanish speakers • German, for Russian speakers • Spanish, for French speakers • French, for Spanish speakers • French, for Russian speakers • Italian, for English speakers • Portuguese (Brazil), for English speakers • Russian, for English speakers • Japanese, for English speakers — in kana, every word and sentence with its rōmaji 2,818 lessons and 17,837 spoken words and phrases. The whole interface follows your language, not just the lessons — nine languages, Hindi included. CHAPTERS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Lessons are grouped into chapters mapped to the A1–B2 scale schools use, so you can see what you have covered and what comes next. Levels describe what each chapter teaches. They are not a certificate, and we never pretend otherwise. FOUR MINUTES A LESSON Short enough to finish on a bus. You pick a daily goal — 20, 30, 50 or 100 XP — and change it whenever it stops fitting your week. IT BRINGS BACK WHAT YOU FORGET Mixed review pulls questions from everything you have finished. Trouble words collects the ones that keep catching you out and drills those instead. Practice rounds earn XP and count toward your goal, but cannot be failed. LEARN WITH PEOPLE, WITHOUT THE NOISE Follow friends by request and share a streak. A weekly league puts you with up to twenty learners for seven days and ranks you by the XP you earn in them. There is no messaging in Wordaboo — you can block or report anyone from their profile, and Friends is off until you turn it on. BUILT TO BE HONEST · Delete your account from inside the app, with 14 days to change your mind · Speaking exercises are optional, and so is the microphone · Your progress lives in your account, and signing out clears the device WORDABOO PREMIUM An optional subscription: no ads, unlimited hearts and bubbles, and lessons you can take offline. The courses themselves are free. Questions: wordaboo@gmail.com Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://wordaboo.app/privacy
