English practice

This is what the English course holds to practise before you start: its drills and games, its word and sentence decks by level, its grammar and the exams it prepares for. Nothing on this page needs an account; the course's map opens when you press start.

exams

  • TOEFL iBT — 632 questions, no account needed

how practice works

Pick a lesson, a drill or a game on the map. A drill gives you a short run of items from the course. A mock exam rehearses the real paper's parts under its timer.

Every answer is marked on the spot, and what you miss comes back to be practised again. Your progress, streak and level are kept for each course.

Starting a course adds it to your courses and opens its map. A goal, with an exam date if you have one, is an optional step on the course's page.

frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to practise English?

Not to start: the first English drills and flashcards need no account, and neither do the 14 charts of its grammar. A free account opens the rest and keeps your progress across devices.
