TendWordFruits in English
Study this English vocabulary list, then practice by sorting the words in the game.
A list of fruits in English with 31 fruit names — apple, banana, mango, grape and more — each with a meaning, an example sentence and audio. Learn fruit and vegetable 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.
