What about when I am done?

If you have finished this weeks assignment, here are a few tips to help you maximise your learning experience:

• Click "The Challenge" in the top left corner.

• Add words that you got wrong in your GAP test or in your books at school (writing book, UOI book, reading and spelling book).

• Look up a word, learn it forever. Got a word you'd like to learn? Look it up in our dictionary and click the "learn" button — It will be added it to your customised learning program. 

• Make a list, learn it (and share it). Create a list of words you need to study and we'll help you learn them. Do a practice session to brush-up your knowledge before a quiz, or click the "Learn this List" button on your list, and we'll work with you over time until you master all the words in the list.

• Find a list to learn. Search our Vocabulary Lists, and you'll find thousands of ready-made vocabulary lists that cover everything from current events to popular literature.

Learn on desktop, tablet or mobile. Whether you use the website or our app for iOS or Android, your progress will seamlessly carry over when you switch from one device to another.
