PONS Vocabulary Trainer

PONS.eu Vocabulary Trainer
– the Vocabulary Trainer App that remembers the words you've looked up!

At last you can integrate the words you've looked up in the dictionary into your active vocabulary. Use your time on the move effectively - in a waiting room or at the bus stop, for example. With this app you can collect and practise the vocabulary you need wherever and whenever you wish!


Who is this app for?

It's ideal for all learners of foreign languages who want to practise their vocabulary while on the move. With this app you can use the PONS Vocabulary Trainer on the road and at home. It's simple: just transfer the vocabulary that you downloaded or practised while travelling, to your computer when you sign in at home.


What can this Vocabulary Trainer do?

• It collects the words you look up in the PONS.com online dictionaries. So, you only learn the vocabulary that you need.
• You can add any vocabulary you like to the Vocabulary Trainer and thus tailor it to your individual requirements.
• With its methodological approach, the PONS Vocabulary Trainer adapts to your individual learning level so that you can successfully learn vocabulary.
• The Trainer teaches you new vocabulary step by step: five different types of exercise become gradually more challenging as you progress, so that you can master the fifth, most advanced exercise called LexiTest, where you translate a vocabulary item without any help.
Alternative to this 5-Exercise Mode you may use the traditional Flash-Card Mode. Check through all of the vocab items in a lesson to see if you already know them.
• It can be used with all of the languages available at PONS.com: English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish!

What can the app do?

• The following free vocabulary lists have already been prepared for you, so that you can get started right away: a German-English "Internet & Co." vocabulary plus the most important words and expressions for travel, accommodation, eating and shopping in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Greek and Turkish.
• Look up words online in over 30 PONS dictionaries directly through the app. Then, simply tap on your looked-up item; it is then copied to your vocabulary trainer together with its translation. You don't even need to use your mobile browser.
• You don't have to be online to practise your vocabulary. The trainer retrieves your current entries and learning levels from your PONS user account, so you can use it on your mobile device and on your computer at home.

The features in the app are OK but synchronization between devices does not work for me.

the app works fine, but speed is THE problem. every single step (offline features!!) takes much too long for efficient training on my Galaxy Tab2

It is a very good idea how to learn new words but most words have more than just one keyword in another language. It would be nice if you could pick any of those. For example appendix can be an organ or an addition, but you can only pick one.

- Very good and helpful - Synchronisation works, - Learning groups too tedious to setup, - Crashes frequently one my HTC One S, especially after switching from other Apps, - Store previously selected exercises/games would save a lot of clicks, - While playing not known entries should be moved to the end of the list and not asked immediately again to help memorizing, - There should be multiple learning levels. Normally for memorizing vocabulary there are 5 categories. After a mistake the entry starts again at the first category/level.

Note that this app eventually wants you to eventually buy a premium account. But because the language selection is so small, I don't even get there. Looks like you can mostly do learn English based on some other language. And those list of "other" languages is also small.
