Study this English vocabulary list, then practice by sorting the words in the game.
Clothes names in English — 58 clothing words like shirt, shoes, hat and dress, each with a meaning, an example and audio. Learn clothes vocabulary by sorting the words into their category.
A vocabulary tool you can actually keep using. Fun, because you judge rather than recall — the question is which category a word belongs to, and a wrong guess stays on the board instead of stopping you. Easy to keep up, because a round is a minute, the daily goal is twelve words, and nothing piles up: no review queue, no due dates, no backlog waiting when you come back after a week.
