TANGORU is an English vocabulary learning app for junior and senior high school students that complements paper vocabulary notebooks. While it's a comprehensive vocabulary list arranged alphabetically, key words already have "professional annotations"—nuance notes (📝) and penalty traps (⚠️)—added in the margins.
■ This app is for:
* Junior and senior high school students preparing for high school entrance exams and university entrance exams (Common Test to National/Public University Second Stage and Difficult Private Universities)
* Those who want to prepare for the Eiken (Level 3 to Pre-1)
* Those who want to avoid losing points due to incorrect usage despite knowing the meaning
■ Features
【1】Start Learning Immediately
No complicated settings required. You can use the vocabulary list immediately after opening the app. With an "information gradient" design that keeps common words simple and emphasizes only the words that make a difference, you won't get buried in unnecessary information.
[2] Over 230 "Usage Differentiation Groups"
Imply and infer, sensible and sensitive, salary/wage/income… Words with similar meanings that are easily confused are grouped together for comparison. Includes definitive explanations of "when to use which" and pictograms to help you grasp the meaning.
[3] Avoiding Point Deduction Traps
"Discuss about" is a point deduction!," "To is unnecessary with approach"—these kinds of usage traps that actually make a difference in exams are directly displayed on the word cards. Prevent losing points in English composition and translation.
[4] Reinforce with Quizzes, Weaknesses Automatically Collected
Check "usage differentiation" and "translation" with over 1,700 quizzes. Incorrectly answered words are automatically collected in "My Weakness Dictionary," allowing you to focus on reviewing only your weak points. You automatically graduate after answering correctly consecutively. [5] Your Personalized Vocabulary List
The "My Vocabulary List" function allows you to save conditions based on exam tags (Eiken level, Common Test, etc.) and question attributes. Filtering according to your purpose can be accessed with a single tap.
