How you learn on Learn New Vocabulary
Word dictation
Hear a word, type it, and see at once where your spelling slipped. Every word comes with its pronunciation, meaning and an example sentence.
Passage dictation
Take down a short story, a slow news item or any passage sentence by sentence, and train your listening and spelling together.
Learn vocabulary
Study each unit's word list with flashcards and multiple choice before you dictate, so new words stick.
Make your own dictation
Paste your own word list or text, and it becomes a dictation course with natural voices: keep it to yourself, share it by link, or publish it for everyone.
Your wordbook
The words you miss are kept in your wordbook, to practise again until you know them.
