This small app lets you learn English at your own pace and on your own schedule by getting familiar with new English phrases. A new phrase appears on the home page every weekday. Currently, there are just two types: idioms and proverbs. Each phrase comes with its own set of definitions and example sentences. Weekends are for taking a break from new phrases, giving you extra time to review the ones you favorite and look back at phrases from previous days.

Philosophy

Learning something new should become a daily habit. Usually, this requires at least half an hour of free time, but here you can get it done in less than five minutes. As you read the phrases, definitions, and examples, you're bound to come across unfamiliar words and expressions. This will help build your vocabulary, because memorizing new words in context is much easier than learning them in isolation. So, when you encounter an unknown word, don't just translate it by itself. Instead, translate the entire sentence it's in, say it out loud, and come up with your own sentence using it. That way, it'll stick in your memory even faster.

Once you sign up, you can add phrases to your Favorites and attach your own notes or translations to them at any time, essentially creating your own cheat sheets and annotations. These notes are only visible to you – no one else will have access to them.

Free

The app is completely free: no subscriptions, no hidden terms, and it doesn't even require you to sign up. This little service doesn't collect your data, show ads, spam your email, or demand your attention if you happen to forget about it. Feel free to copy and share the phrases however you like.
