HOW TO improve your vocabulary having fun!

6th Way: Cool Apps!

There are some apps for Android and iOS. I'm going to make a list.

1. Unblock Your Brain

I really like this app because it has the option of listetining to the words/sentences you've just learned which I find amazing. You can learn other languages besides English as well.

2. Advanced Grammar In Use: Tests.

This app was developed by the Cambridge University. It costs only $1.99 or £1.49. It's only available for iOS.

3. Sounds: The Pronunciation App

It is good for learning the pronunciation of words. You will find both American and British English loaded (how cool is that?)

4. Byki

This is a general and extensive language learning app for 74 different languages, so it's just as useful for those on a French language course as an English course. Rather than using grammar structures as a starting point, which can be confusing and off-putting, it begins with vocabulary. Its approach is based on research into the way we learn languages, which shows that we learn best by absorbing phrases.

5. SnaPanda

This is a simple but really useful app. It allows English learners to capture any word in a document or page that they are reading, and then get an instant translation of it. It's great for use as an alternative dictionary, or to help learners check definitions on the move, when they need instant answers.

6. Vocopedia

This is a very useful vocabulary building app. It has flashcard games and hangman built in, which are both fun ways for English language learners to improve their vocabulary base while having fun, either alone or with friends. It also has a word browser, loaded up with nearly 4000 words. (Source: http://www.simpleenglishnews.com/archives/stories/5-great-apps-for-learning-english-5314463)

7. English Grammar In Use

An app aimed at helping intermediate level students work on their grammar knowledge. It includes lots of questions and activities for students to work through, divided into 16 different topics. All of them are available as both on-screen text and as audio files. (Source: http://www.simpleenglishnews.com/archives/stories/5-great-apps-for-learning-english-5314463)

8. WordPower Learn American English Vocabulary

Once you understand how a language works, one of the biggest challenges is growing your vocabulary then practice, practice, practice. Innovative Language Learning has created a very friendly and simple application with the most essential vocabulary from native expressions, tourist destinations, flirting, food, money, body parts, occupations, etc. (Source: http://openlanguage.com/)

There are a ton of more apps like these ones, look for the ones you like better.
