Your everyday things. A whole new vocabulary.

A look inside

See it on
a real iPhone.

Your photos become stickers. Your stickers become words to practice.

Here’s how it works

Sound familiar?

You know the thing.
What’s the word?

Start with the things you actually live with.

  • 01 / Make it personal

    “Apple, banana, car… again?”

    Learn the words for the cup on your desk and the plant by your window. Your things, your vocabulary.

  • 02 / Hear it first

    “I know it. I just can’t say it.”

    Hear the word in an American English voice, with an example sentence. Then say it yourself.

  • 03 / Give it a little life

    “Another list to memorize?”

    Flip a card. Recognize your sticker. Put it in a room that feels like yours.

From a photo to a word

A little look.
A little listen. It’s yours.

  1. Travel deck with water bottle, nightgown and brick stickers, English words and example sentences
    01

    Snap it

    Tap the big camera button and take a photo of anything around you. The object is cut out as a sticker, and the app suggests its English word. Tap to pick another word or type your own.

  2. Peach practice card showing a dumbbell sticker and the sentence Lift the dumbbell ten times
    02

    Say it

    Every word comes with an example sentence and is spoken out loud. Practise with flip cards and mark each one Forgot, Hard or Got it.

  3. My Home room with labeled washing machine, broom, pot and trash can stickers on lilac

    Make it yours

    Drop your stickers into rooms, drag, pinch and twist them into place, even on a photo of your real room. Share your room as a picture.

Your life is the lesson

Every thing in your
home is a word.

Start with what’s right in front of you.

01 / Snap words

Your things.
Now with a word.

Take up to 5 photos at a time. Each object becomes a sticker with a white edge, its English word and an example sentence.

  • Not the word you meant? Pick from 3 suggestions or type your own.
  • Every photo day becomes its own deck, named with the date.

02 / Say it, then check

Give every word
a voice. Yours, too.

An American English voice reads the word. Look at your sticker, say it yourself, then flip to show the answer.

  • Mark each card Forgot, Hard or Got it.
  • Forgotten cards come back at the end.
  • An example sentence puts each word in context.

  • Find stickers by group: Home, Kitchen, Food, Animals…
  • Share your room as a picture.
