Build an English vocabulary you can actually use

Write a sentence and get corrections to word usage and grammar, with explanations. Repetition helps you retain the vocabulary for conversations, messages and work.

Does this sound familiar?

You recognise a word but cannot find it when you need it

The meaning looks familiar on a flashcard. In a conversation or message, the word disappears and you reach for the same basic phrases.

You are not sure whether your sentence sounds right

Knowing a translation does not tell you which words go together or which grammar to use. Without feedback, it is easy to repeat the same mistake.

Work messages take longer than they should

You have a clear idea but spend time choosing words and checking every phrase. Practise expressing your own thoughts before the next email or discussion.

New words fade before you get to use them

One review is rarely enough. Words need to come back in practice so you can retrieve them, not just recognise them on a list.

How the practice works

Choose your words

Use vocabulary collections or your own word lists to practise language relevant to you.

Write a sentence

Put the word into a situation you might actually talk or write about. Practise recalling it in context.

See how to say it correctly

Get a corrected version of your sentence with explanations of word usage and grammar. See what to change and why.

Keep words active

Return to words with spaced repetition and practise using them again, instead of starting from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this for work and everyday conversations?
Yes. LetsWords helps turn familiar English words into vocabulary you can use in conversations, messages and work emails. Write your own sentences, get corrections and explanations, then reinforce the words through repetition. Practise what you actually want to say: discuss a task with a colleague, explain a decision or talk about yourself.
I already use Anki or Quizlet. Why add another trainer?
If you remember a translation easily but still struggle to make your own sentence, it is time to practise using the word. In LetsWords you write a sentence and get feedback on meaning, word combinations and grammar. You learn to use the word yourself. That is the skill you need beyond the flashcard, in conversations and messages.
What if I make grammar mistakes as well as vocabulary mistakes?
LetsWords reviews both word usage and grammar in your sentence. You get a corrected version and an explanation of what went wrong and how to express your meaning correctly. Grammar becomes something you practise in the sentences you want to use, rather than a separate set of rules to memorise.
Can I learn my own words instead of working through everything?
Yes. Add the words you need to your own lists and practise them in LetsWords: write sentences, get corrections and revisit the words through repetition. Bring vocabulary from work emails, books or lessons. If you are not sure where to start, choose a ready-made collection.
I learn words and quickly forget them. Will this be different?
In LetsWords you use a word to express your own thought, then return to it through spaced repetition. You need to recall it and build a sentence, not just look at a familiar translation. You reinforce both the word and how to use it, so it is ready when you have something to say.
I already take a course or have a tutor. Why use this too?
So your English gets used between lessons instead of staying in your notes. In LetsWords you can take words from class, write your own sentences and get corrections when it suits you. You do not have to wait for your next lesson to find out whether you expressed something correctly. Repetition helps you retain what you have already spent time learning.
Who will tell me whether my sentence sounds natural?
LetsWords checks how a word works in your sentence: whether the meaning fits, the word combination is right and the grammar works. You get a corrected version with explanations, showing how to express your thought more precisely. It is feedback on your English, rather than another dictionary example written by someone else.
Can I practise on my phone?
Yes. Open LetsWords in your phone browser; there is no separate app to install. Write a sentence, get feedback and review your words. Practise when you have a little time, rather than waiting until you are back at your computer.

Give familiar words a place in your English

Practise expressing your own ideas, get corrections and retain the vocabulary you need. For your next conversation, message or work email.
