🎮 LEARN THROUGH FUN WORD GAMES

Vocabulary learning doesn't have to be boring.

HelloWords transforms vocabulary practice into engaging game experiences designed to help you remember words more effectively.

Features include:

• Drag-and-drop word games
• Word matching challenges
• Multiple-choice vocabulary quizzes
• Smart SRS-based review

Each game is designed to help you recognize, understand, and remember vocabulary while keeping learning fun and motivating.

🤖 PRACTICE VOCABULARY WITH AI STORIES

Once you've learned new words through games, it's time to see them in action.

HelloWords uses AI-generated stories to help you understand how vocabulary is naturally used in real-life situations. Learning words in context makes them easier to remember and more useful when communicating.

Features include:

• AI-generated vocabulary stories
• Personalized stories using words you've already learned
• Context-based vocabulary learning
• Story-based review experiences

Rather than memorizing isolated words, you'll encounter vocabulary inside engaging stories that reinforce meaning, usage, and recall.

🧠 SMART REVIEW WITH SPACED REPETITION

Stop forgetting the words you learn.

HelloWords uses a Spaced Repetition System (SRS) based on the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve to help you review vocabulary at the right time. By revisiting words at optimized intervals, you can improve retention and build long-term vocabulary knowledge more efficiently.

Words you've learned through games and stories are automatically scheduled for review, helping strengthen memory and support long-term learning progress.

💡 LEARN VOCABULARY YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE

Unlike traditional vocabulary lists, HelloWords focuses on practical words and expressions that appear in everyday life.

Topics include:

• Travel
• Food
• Shopping
• Work
• Daily Conversations

Learn vocabulary you'll actually use when communicating, traveling, studying, or exploring a new culture.

📈 TRACK YOUR LEARNING PROGRESS

After each study session, you can review your learning progress, including the words you've studied and the vocabulary you've already mastered.

⏱️ LEARN IN JUST 3 MINUTES A DAY

Busy schedule? No problem.

HelloWords is designed for short, focused learning sessions that fit naturally into your daily routine. Just a few minutes a day can help you steadily improve your vocabulary and language skills.

Honestly the app is amazing in its array of vocabulary, images, and proper form of vocabulary in different languages (clearly they used natives and specialists) but you cannot review words at will. I am the type that needs to review words every day. if I can't I will lose it. So no matter how much I study, I do not retain the vocab because I cannot review it. such a shame.

So overall I think this is a good app. But there are a few things that would make it great. First, I need to be able to see the romanji somewhere. I can't quite tell what the audio is so need to see the romanji to break it down. Second, there is a little bug where it randomly kicks me in the middle of a lesson. Thirdly, add more structure in what to learn. Otherwise, good concept to "bum rush" vocabulary. Hope to see these improvements in the future!

Audio quality is abysmal. When you click to hear a word an annoying distracting sound effect plays alongside a clipped, crackly, sped up, extremely low bitrate audio file. How on earth did this app pass quality control? Also it doesn't remember you purchased it on Hellotalk with a Facebook sign in.
