一词 YiCi

YiCi puts vocabulary where you already look: English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German and French, each with a card designed for that language.

Learn from your widgets

Add a widget to your Home Screen, Lock Screen or StandBy display. Each card shows one word. Tap the speaker to hear it without opening the app, or mark it as known to move on. Each widget can show its own language, so an English card and a Japanese card can sit side by side.

Every language has its own card

• English: British and American IPA, highlighted examples, word forms and collocations
• Japanese: furigana, pitch-accent lines, highlighted conjugations, notes on Chinese-Japanese false friends
• Chinese: tone-colored pinyin with tone changes, measure words and character components
• Korean: real pronunciation, hanja and sound changes in examples
• German: nouns colored by gender with their article, plurals and principal parts
• French: gender, IPA, liaison arcs and dimmed silent letters

Review at your pace

Choose 1, 3, 5 or 10 new words a day. A 7-step memory ladder schedules reviews after 1, 2, 4, 7, 15, 30 and 60 days. Books follow CET, IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, JLPT, HSK, TOPIK and CEFR levels, and all of them work offline.

Quiet by design
