Kalimo: Vocabulary Game

Kalimo is a vocabulary game for 11 languages — and now a full English vocabulary course too.

Pick the language you speak and the one you want to learn. English, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Hindi are each available on both sides, which makes 110 learning pairs. Learn Spanish from Turkish, or Russian from Portuguese, without switching apps.

ENGLISH VOCABULARY COURSE

• 9,345 English words from A1 to C2, taught one meaning at a time in 664 short lessons.
• A quick placement test finds your level, and a daily plan sets how many new words you take on.
• Every lesson takes a word from first meeting to recognising it, recalling it and using it in a sentence.
• Spaced reviews in Today's session bring each word back just before you would forget it.
• Word pages with families, forms, similar and opposite words, and the pairs people mix up.
• Games for the words you have learned: Match, Memory, Speed round, Letter tiles, Listen and pick and Mixed review.
• A daily XP goal, three daily quests and reward chests. No hearts, no lives.
• Every meaning and example comes with a translation in your own language.

LANGUAGE GAMES IN ALL 11 LANGUAGES

• 1,000 words ordered by how often they actually turn up, so the first thing you learn is the first thing you will need.
• 3 example sentences for every word, translated into all 11 languages.
• Natural, offline neural voices for words and sentences — 10 voices and a speed control. The voice pack (about 145 MB) downloads once in the background; Chinese uses your device's own voice.
• 50 levels across 20 topics, unlocking in order.
• 9 mini-games in Learn — drag and drop, true or false, multiple choice, timed tests and arcade rounds.
• Mixed rounds in Repeat, blending sentence building, timed matching and fill-in-the-blank.

HOW A MIXED ROUND WORKS

Twelve questions. Eight correct to pass. Five mistakes end the round. Two hints strike out half the options, and every word you missed comes back in a review phase at the end, so a round never leaves a gap behind.

Choose Easy, Medium or Hard — 5, 10 or 15 words, with no timer, 120 seconds or 60 seconds. Switch direction whenever you like to practise recognition or recall.

PLAYS ANYWHERE

Words, sentences, rounds and lessons all work offline. Sign in for leaderboards, achievements and syncing your progress across devices.
