Description

Description

Clozemaster is a language learning game focused on building vocabulary through mass exposure to sentences. The core mechanic involves filling in a missing word (a "cloze") in a sentence. It uses a spaced repetition system to re-test words and features a heavily gamified interface with points and leaderboards. Sourced from a large corpus of translated sentences, it's an excellent tool for intermediate learners to move beyond basic vocabulary and see words used in a wide variety of contexts, which can implicitly reinforce grammar.

FluentU uses authentic video content—such as music videos, commercials, and news clips—as its foundation for language lessons. The platform features interactive subtitles that allow users to click on any word for a definition, example sentences, and pronunciation. New vocabulary can be saved as flashcards, which are then reinforced through personalized quizzes. While it offers a method for learning vocabulary in context and improving listening skills, it does not provide explicit grammar instruction or speaking practice.
