Recommended Apps for language learners

The language skills we possess always differ in quality. We may be great at reading, but lack the skills in writing, and so forth.

The language in our minds is like a web of interdependent variables, and you have to account for all of them in the process of learning, developing, and improving your language.

Possibly the greatest way you can showcase your level of English is through your vocabulary range. Being able to understand while listening, infer while reading, or spell rightfully while writing can hardly be compared to a delightful presentation of your language mastery when speaking, either through having a conversation or giving a lecture at your school, university or workplace.

Achieving that is relatively easy. You just need to dedicate a certain amount of time every day away from your social media hours and focus it on building yourself. It’s way more fun!

That being said, here are 5 apps that will certainly provide you with the finesse over your English vocabulary usage on the go:

1. Memrise

Being a dictionary app, you may think it has zero features for hands-on active learning. With one of the most extensive vocabulary databases ever, The Free Dictionary also provides in-app games to make the vocabulary building process a tad more enjoyable.
