Vocabula
Learn English words you'll actually remember — and say out loud.

You learned the word on Monday. By Thursday it's gone. Vocabula brings each word back right before you'd forget it and asks you to say it out loud — so it's there when you need it in a conversation. Start with about 1,400 common English words, with definitions and translations in your own language (18 languages, Ukrainian and Russian included). Five new words a day, all eight exercise types and on-device pronunciation scoring are free — no account, no ads. Pro adds unlimited words, your own IELTS or TOEFL lists synced across devices, and cloud backup.
Everything the learning loop needs is free: the scheduler, the voice scoring and the full starter deck. Five new words a day is the only cap — when you want more, a second device or a backup, that's Pro.

Features
- Comes back before you forget — every word gets its own schedule; you review it at the last useful moment, not on a fixed calendar.
- Say it out loud — pronunciation is scored on your phone. Your voice never leaves the device, and it works offline.
- Eight ways to practise — recognise it, spell it, fill the gap, build the sentence, build what you hear, pronounce it, shadow it, tell apart words that sound alike.
- In your own language — definitions and translations in Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
- Your own words — paste an IELTS list, a chapter or a lecture; Vocabula fills in definitions, examples and pronunciation and schedules them like the built-in deck.
- Phrases, not just words — “as soon as possible”, “how are you” — learned as one card, practised as one unit.
- Ten minutes a day — the app shows exactly what’s due today and nothing more. Short daily sessions beat an hour on Sunday.
- Under the hood, for the curious — FSRS scheduling, on-device Whisper scoring, local-first storage, and a dictionary-checked, human-reviewed catalog that keeps growing across 19 languages.
