Practise the words you choose

Most vocabulary tools decide what you review. Mango Vocabulary lets you point at a chapter, a topic, or a list you built yourself, and drill exactly that.

What it is

A flexible tool, not a fixed deck

Review the vocabulary from a specific course chapter, focus on a single topic like days of the week or numbers, or build a personalised list of the words you keep forgetting. It's structured enough to be a real review system and loose enough to follow whatever you actually need next.

Every list works the same way wherever you open it. Each entry pairs what you'd say in English with the phrase in the language you're learning, plus audio and a pronunciation guide, so you can check yourself out loud rather than only in your head.

Hide one column to test yourself and reveal it when you want the answer, or switch the whole list into flashcards. Say each one out loud as it comes up. A word you have only ever read is a word you will hesitate on when it matters.

It picks up on your phone where you left it on your laptop, which is what makes a spare five minutes actually usable.

What you can do

Six ways to use it

There is no single right way to run a vocabulary list, because what you need from one changes with what you are doing. Cramming before a trip is not the same as maintaining a language you already speak. These are the shapes people actually use it in.

Targeted learning

Narrow down to a chapter, a unit, or a topic like days of the week or numbers, so what you're reviewing is what's relevant right now.

Course and extended vocabulary

Both the words your course teaches and a wider supplemental set, so you're not capped at the curriculum.

Custom lists

Build your own lists to practise words from outside the set curriculum: the ones that matter to your life rather than the lesson plan.

Structured review

Go back to vocabulary from any chapter you've covered, which is what turns recognition into recall.

Words in real media

Vocabulary drawn from popular media, including song lyrics, so a word arrives with a context you'll remember it by.

Works at any level

Zoom out for an overview of everything you've met, or zoom in on the one area that's letting you down.
