Learning vocabulary is tedious. And usually not very efficient. Our app StoryPlanet English solves the vocabulary dilemma! The best way to build your vocabulary is by learning words in a relevant context. Our mini-stories in English provide just that: engaging stories with lots of useful vocabulary and exercises.
Step by step to better English
- READ: Choose from different mini-stories. Every story has 5 chapters. It takes about 1 minute to read each chapter.
- GET DEFINITIONS: Click on any word in bold to get a definition in English that matches the meaning in that context.
- LEARN: Save words you don’t know in your personal learning list and practice them in a series of quiz-like exercises.
The best part is, you only focus on the vocabulary you don’t know, so the app never gets boring. Read and learn English wherever you are. All you need is your smartphone and our app StoryPlanet English.
