Vocably – English Exam Words

Vocably is an English vocabulary app built on 2,497 words — and every single word comes with its meaning and example sentences in your own language, not just in English. Pick your level, study with flashcards or multiple-choice quizzes, and let the spaced repetition system decide what comes back and when.

WHICH EXAM ARE YOU PREPARING FOR?

• TOEFL and IELTS: the academic vocabulary that keeps reappearing in reading and listening passages.

• SAT, GRE and GMAT: high-frequency test words with real usage examples.

• Cambridge exams (B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced): word lists matched to CEFR levels.

• TOEIC and business English: the words you actually need in meetings, emails and presentations.

• School and university English: full A1–C2 coverage, so you can start exactly where you are.

Straight talk about the list: it is a 2,497-word core, weighted toward the A2–B1–B2 band that carries most exam texts, with A1 foundations and C1–C2 words on top. The layer that pays off first, not an endless list you never finish.

STUDY IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE

Meanings and example sentences are built in for 24 languages: Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Italian, Indonesian, Polish, Dutch, Vietnamese, Thai, Ukrainian, Swedish, Czech, Hebrew, Persian and English. You never have to decode an English-only definition before you can learn the word.

TWO WAYS TO STUDY

• Flashcards: see the word, try to recall it, flip the card, and rate how well you knew it.

• Multiple-choice quiz in three directions: English to your language, your language to English, and English definition matching.

SPACED REPETITION THAT ACTUALLY SCHEDULES

• Five confidence stages: new, learning, familiar, known, mastered.

• The same word never comes back on the same day, so your reviews stay evenly spread.

• Words you get wrong are collected in their own list, and Learn from Mistakes mode brings them back until they stick.

• Nothing to configure. Answer honestly and the schedule takes care of itself.

WHAT IS ON THE WORD CARDS

• Meaning in your language and in English

• IPA notation and audio pronunciation

• Part of speech, including phrasal verbs

• Synonyms, antonyms and the collocations the word really appears in

• Example sentences, usually three per word, each translated into your language

LISTEN AND PRONOUNCE

• Audio for every word and for the example sentences.

• Speaker accents: British, American and more.

• Listening practice with time-coded transcripts you can follow line by line.

• Daily Conversations: question-and-answer exchanges across ten topics, with audio and a topic filter.

FILTERS, PROGRESS AND YOUR HOME SCREEN

• Filter by CEFR level (A1–C2) and by word type: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, phrasal verb.

• Daily goal, streak, words learned, plus statistics by level and confidence stage.

• A Word of the Day widget for your home screen.

• Study reminders at the times you choose.

• Sign in and your progress syncs to your account, so a new phone picks up exactly where you left off.

WHO IT IS FOR

• Anyone rebuilding their English vocabulary from A1 upward, in their own language

WHAT IS FREE, WHAT IS PREMIUM

Free: all 2,497 words, flashcards, the English to your language quiz, the first example of each word, British audio, the widget, filters, statistics and reminders. The free version shows ads. Premium removes them and unlocks the other two quiz directions, every example sentence, the other speaker accents, listening practice and Daily Conversations.

You can start straight away as a guest — no account required. Word study works offline; audio playback and progress sync need a connection.
