How to play

  1. Pick a scene — a kitchen, a school desk, a beach or a living room — or press Surprise me.
  2. An English word is read aloud. Press the speaker to hear it again; choose Listen and read if you want to see the word too.
  3. Find that object in the picture and tap it. A correct tap turns the object green and the word is repeated.
  4. After two wrong taps the game shows you where the object is, so you always learn the word.
  5. A round is six words. Find them all on the first try for a flawless round, then move on to the next scene.
