6 Apps for learning English in 2025
There are hundreds and hundreds of apps for learning English. We all know the big names but what about adding some variety to your screen this year. Here are six apps for learning English you might not know, but you should definitely try this year. They are all apps I've tried and liked.
I love the simple concept of this app. It takes gap filling exercises adds point scoring. So the kind of exercises you know from school, like this: I ___ to school yesterday. You have to add the right word in the gap. Then score points. You can practice writing or listening, with speaking practice coming soon. Great if you want to move on from basic vocabulary apps.
Speaking used to be really difficult to practice without another person to have a conversation. Now so many AI teachers are popping up it's hard to find a good quality bot. Language Coach AI takes the best bits of language learning apps and adds a speaking element. You practice vocabulary with matching and gap fill exercises and then have a conversation or role play to practice. If you're working with a teacher they can assign practice that's relevant to you.
Do you need to practice writing and do you like puzzles? This is a really innovative app to help your English writing. Working with a virtual partner, you pick a picture and write a description for your partner to guess the picture. Then they give you a sentence to guess. It's quick and easy, you can write an easy sentence or make it as complicated as you want to, and get hints to help you from the app too. Fun and useful!
Looking for pronunciation practice? Say It will help you! The app provides a visual model of words to help you see where your pronunciation is different. It's great if you have some words that are really tricky for you, because seeing the word's sound waves and comparing to your version really helps to identify the differences.
If you have questions about English and no one to ask Hi Native is for you. You can ask what's the difference between words, if a phrase sounds natural, or, the meaning or intention behind words and phrases. You'll get answers from AI and native speakers too.
Before Duolingo there was Utalk. This is the original vocabulary learning organisation - they used to make CDs! Now on the app you can learn vocabulary from more than 150 languages from English to Estonian, Igbo to Italian. There are puzzle games, memory games, speaking as well as vocabulary practice. Give it a try today!
Have fun learning with apps, and don't forget to find a passionate teacher or coach to help you bring it all together. The teachers at WeAreEnglishTeachers.com can help you succeed with English this year.
