Games that make you produce it
Recognition is easy and useless: you know a word when you can say it without the English in front of you. These games take the English away. Everything is scored in your own browser — no account, no streak guilt-trip, just a list of the words you keep getting wrong.
176 concepts have a picture, across 14 sets. Sound comes from the site's own synthesiser; the speaking game uses your browser's speech recognition where it exists (and lets you type where it doesn't).
🎙️Say it
Hold a picture, say the word out loud. Wrong buzzes and stays; right dings and fades away. Hints when you're stuck.
🎧Hear it
The synthesiser reads a word; you pick the picture it named. The receptive twin of Say it.
🔗Match
Picture to written word, six pairs at a time. The reading drill.
👂Ear trainer
Minimal pairs: /y/ vs /u/, ejective vs aspirated, Cantonese long vs short a. Hear the difference before you try to make it.
🔁Your mistakes
The words you actually got wrong, weakest first — drilled by ear or by voice. Two right in a row and a word drops out.
✍️Write it
Hiragana, katakana and kanji: read the character, pick the character from its sound, or trace it by hand over a guide.
📈Which tone?
One syllable, six Cantonese tones (or four Mandarin ones). Name the pitch you heard — clean from the synthesiser, or messy from a real voice.
🔤Letter drill
A Georgian, Greek or Arabic letter appears — name its sound. Or a Chinese key: name its meaning.
