Why EnglishNest
Most vocabulary apps either throw a giant generic word list at you, or leave you to build flashcards entirely by hand. EnglishNest tries to sit in between: it's built specifically around IELTS preparation — words come with a Vietnamese meaning, an English definition, IPA pronunciation, a CEFR difficulty level, an example sentence, and common collocations, whether they came from the curated library, text you pasted in, or a list you typed yourself.
Underneath, every word you learn moves through a real spaced-repetition algorithm: answer correctly and the interval before you see it again keeps growing — days, then weeks, then months; answer wrong and it comes back sooner, no matter how long it's been going well. No word ever permanently "graduates" out of review for good — it just needs to come back less and less often. Reviews default to a manageable daily batch (adjustable in your account settings), so a big list never dumps itself on you all at once — and if you finish early with more still due, you can always keep going.
Build your vocabulary
Word Library
Curated system word lists by topic and CEFR level — make a copy with one tap.
My Word Lists
Build your own lists by hand, with AI (Gemini) suggesting meanings and examples, or import a CSV exported from another flashcard app. Organize with folders.
Extract Vocabulary
Paste a reading passage, listening transcript, or writing sample, click (or drag across) the words or phrases you don't know, and AI looks each one up in one batch — using your real sentence as the example (trimmed down if it's a long one).
Practice
Daily Review
Type the word from memory to answer — that's what decides when you see it again. A quick bonus question (meaning or collocation) follows most correct answers for extra practice, with no effect on your schedule.
Blitz
A 60-second speed round across your whole vocabulary — answer as many as you can, with bonus points for a hot streak.
Flashcards
Flip through any list at your own pace — shuffle, autoplay, auto-pronounce, or filter to just the words you've flagged as hard.
Match
A timed matching game — pair each word with its meaning as fast as you can.
Test
A self-test across an entire list, with a recap of exactly which words to revisit.
Gravity
Meanings fall from the top of the screen — type the English word before one lands. Speed and life count both ramp up the longer you last.
Track your progress
Dashboard
Your streak, words due today, total vocabulary, and words in long-term review — at a glance.
Streak & Sparra's Nest
Meet Sparra, your companion sparrow. Review every day and watch Sparra's nest grow — skip too many days and Sparra starts to wonder if you're coming back.
Search
Find any word or list you've already added, instantly, across your whole vocabulary.
Stay on track
Notifications
A daily nudge when words are due, a celebration when you hit a streak or mastery milestone, and the occasional announcement from the team.
Install as an app
Add EnglishNest to your phone's home screen, or install it on desktop Chrome/Edge — opens straight into the app, no browser address bar, works on laptop, desktop, and mobile alike.
Pronunciation, everywhere
Every word — however it entered your vocabulary — gets a speaker button that reads it aloud, right next to its IPA transcription. No audio files, no setup: it's your browser's own text-to-speech, so it works the moment a word is added.
