Description

KoKo is an iPhone app for learning vocabulary in 25 languages: 6,040 words per language, sorted into 38 topics and three levels, memorized with spaced repetition in a few minutes a day.

You choose the language you speak and the one you want to learn (Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic or another). KoKo teaches you new words four at a time, then brings each one back for review right when you were about to forget it.

WHO IT'S FOR

Read more
  • You're traveling and want to get by at a restaurant, at the airport or at the doctor's.
  • You're preparing for an exam, a study program or a move abroad.
  • You need a language for work: meetings, phone calls, job interviews.
  • You learned a language at school and want your words back.

Beginner, intermediate or advanced: your level decides which words you start with.

HOW IT WORKS

  • A round is four new words. Each one goes through four steps: recognize it (two multiple-choice questions), then type it both ways.
  • A typo is forgiven; a mistake only sends you back one step, not through the whole round.
  • Spaced repetition brings each word back just before you forget it. A word you know well only returns once a year.
  • Your flame counts your days in a row, and a reminder at the time you choose helps you keep going.

WHAT'S INSIDE

  • 6,040 words per language in 38 topics: verbs, food, health, work, transportation, emotions, nature...
  • 30 ready-to-learn situations: at a restaurant, at the airport, at a hotel, at the doctor's, at the bank, job interview...
  • Utilities: must-know words, questions, opposites, time and, for English, 76 irregular verbs with their forms.
  • Pronunciation of every word with the iPhone's voices, plus a slow voice.
  • Two mini-games (matching pairs and listening), a custom test, your favorites and your personal lists.
  • Widgets, Siri, Control Center, and listening to a list with the screen locked.
  • Your progress: words learned, days in a row, calendar, weekly summary and estimated level.
  • iCloud sync across your devices, and everything works offline.

English (American or British), Spanish (Spain or Mexico), Portuguese (Portugal or Brazil), French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
The app itself is translated into these 25 languages: you can learn any of them from any other, and every language you start keeps its own progress.
