FAQ
How is VibeLang different from other vocabulary apps?
Most apps show you a word and ask you to flip a card. VibeLang plays the pronunciation and asks you to type the word out - this active recall method is proven to improve both vocabulary retention and listening comprehension at the same time.
Does typing on a phone actually help me remember words?
Yes - the act of actively recalling and typing a word engages your brain differently than passively reading it. This is the same principle behind handwriting notes being more effective than typing them in class.
How many words do I need to know for IELTS?
VibeLang's IELTS book covers 3535 words. For Band 7 and above, a strong command of academic vocabulary is essential - knowing words is not enough, you need to understand them in context.
Does VibeLang cover the Academic Word List?
Yes, the IELTS word list in VibeLang includes the Academic Word List as well as high-frequency words that appear across all four IELTS sections - Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
Can VibeLang help with IELTS Listening specifically?
Directly yes. Because every word is learned by hearing it first and then typing it, you are training your ear at the same time as building vocabulary. Many students find their listening comprehension improves noticeably after consistent use.
How long will it take to finish all 3535 words?
That depends entirely on your pace. VibeLang's progress grid shows you exactly where you stand at all times, so you can set your own milestones and track improvement day by day.
What do the colors in the progress grid mean?
Green means you have mastered the word, light green means you almost have it, and red means it needs more work. The grid gives you an honest picture of your vocabulary at a glance.
Can I review words I got wrong?
Yes. Words marked red are flagged for review so you can focus your study time where it matters most.
Is the app available in my language?
Yes. VibeLang supports 33 languages across the app interface, including Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, and many more. You can study IELTS vocabulary fully in your native language.
The screenshots look like they are in English - will I understand the definitions and examples?
The words you are learning are English, but every definition and example sentence comes with a translation in your language. You are never left guessing what a word means.
Does VibeLang translate definitions into my language?
Yes. Whether your language is Japanese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hindi, or any of the other 33 supported languages, definitions and example sentences are fully translated so you can build deep understanding without the barrier of reading explanations in a foreign language.
Is VibeLang available on iOS?
Yes, VibeLang is currently available on the App Store. A web version and Android app are both in development and coming soon.
