WordVale — Vocabulary Builder

For everyone who reads, works and lives in English as a second language.

You meet new words every day — in the news, a work email, a novel, a contract. You look one up, understand it for a moment, and a week later it's gone. Maybe you keep a list. The list never gets reviewed.

WordVale fixes exactly that. It is the word notebook that actually brings your words back.

SAVE A WORD IN TWO TAPS
Highlight a word — or a whole sentence — in any app, tap Share, choose WordVale. Done. Share a sentence and WordVale picks out the word worth learning and keeps your sentence as the example.

EVERY WORD, EXPLAINED FOR LEARNERS
• Clear definitions, including the exact sense used where you found it
• Idioms and expressions explained, not just single words
• Pronunciation three ways: audio, IPA and easy syllables (ih·FEM·er·uhl)
• Optional translations into your own language

REVIEW WHEN IT SUITS YOU
No daily homework. WordVale schedules each word to come back right before you'd forget it, and tells you when a few are due. A minute here and there is enough.

START WITH WORDS FROM WHAT YOU READ
Tell WordVale what you read and it starts your notebook with words you're likely to meet: the front page, the business pages, opinion columns, headline expressions, books, work email — five a day — small bites.
