Vocab

Problem

The hard part of learning a word is not meeting it once but seeing it again before it fades. Someone preparing for an exam also needs the words that exam uses, not a generic list.

For people who already spend part of their day in Telegram, installing a separate app is one more step between them and practice.

Solution

Vocab started in April 2026 as a Telegram Mini App, and the same code now also runs at tryvocab.com as a responsive website and PWA. Each word comes on a card with a picture, recorded pronunciation, a definition and an example sentence, and spaced review brings it back just before you would forget it.

You sign in with Telegram or e-mail. Premium is bought with Telegram Stars and works on the web too. The interface comes in 7 languages, including Arabic.
