Learning English at home or on the go is now easier and more fun with VOA’s Mobile Wordbook app.
The app, which adds to VOA’s expanding range of free language learning tools, is getting rave reviews. “This is a great app!! Very easy to use and extremely helpful. Very nice,” one satisfied user commented.
The Mobile Wordbook app is available free through the iTunes app store and has about 1,000 entries from the VOA Learning English wordbook. It helps users build their vocabulary by hearing how words are pronounced and used, and seeing images that make the meaning clear.
“We want all of our programs to be mobile, so people can have access where they want it and when they want it,” says Ted Greenfield, of VOA’s Learning English. “This app puts the Learning English wordbook in the palm of your hand,” Greenfield says.
