For convenience of study the entire vocabulary is divided into groups of words (levels) balanced by the number of parts of speech. The teaching process consists of several stages:

The application stores answers for each learnt word and generates the necessary sequence and frequency of occurrence of words in the learning. As you learn words, English word listening comprehension exercises are added. There is an opportunity in the application to perform only oral exercises ("Listening" mode) to learn spoken English. Separate progress indicators for reading (orange) and listening (blue) help to control the process of English word learning better.
