πŸš€ How it works

Read the grouped list

Every deck is grouped by theme, so the words you meet in the same situation stay together and in context. Each word ships with phonetics, a definition and one real example sentence.

Recall with flashcards

One word per screen. Tap to flip, swipe to move on, mark learned or starred. Progress is saved locally.

Say the patterns out loud

Each deck ships a set of high-frequency phrases or patterns grouped by stage, with per-sentence playback and 0.8x slow mode, so you can say it out loud or write it straight away.

❓ FAQ

What is on this site?

English organised by real work scenarios. Each scenario is a deck with a batch of high-frequency words, each with phonetics, a definition and an example sentence, plus a batch of ready-to-use sentence patterns. Switch decks from the home page.

How long does it take to finish a deck?

About 30 minutes for the first pass: read the grouped word list, review it with the flashcards, then shadow the sentence patterns. Most learners split it into two or three sessions on a phone.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Every page works without an account.

Where is my progress stored?

In your own browser, on the device you are using. It is not uploaded, and it will not follow you to another device. Cross-device sync is planned.

πŸ“– About this site

This site organises vocabulary by real work scenarios instead of alphabetically: decide which situation you need English in, then drill the high-frequency words and patterns for that situation. Every word ships with phonetics, definitions and one example sentence you can reuse directly.

Standup English for MES Engineers

The 15-minute daily standup is where manufacturing IT people speak English most often. This deck covers 50 core words for an MES standup, grouped into five themes: standup process, production and work orders, equipment and status, quality and issues, and systems and collaboration. Every word comes with phonetics, a plain-English definition and one real standup example sentence, plus 25 ready-to-use phrases.

English for Job Interviews

An English interview is rarely about vocabulary size; it is about being clear. Introduce yourself, walk through a project, answer technical follow-ups and close with compensation and your own questions. This deck covers 50 core interview words in five themes: self-introduction, experience and projects, technical skills, teamwork and communication, and questions and closing. Every word comes with a real interview example, plus 25 sentence patterns you can reuse in your next interview.

English for Project Reviews

A project review is where engineers have to be at their clearest: progress, risks and trade-offs, plus defending the design under pressure. This deck covers 50 core words for review meetings in five themes: review process, progress and scope, risks and dependencies, data and evidence, and decisions and actions. Every word comes with a real example sentence, plus 25 sentence patterns for reporting and answering questions.

English Writing Guide for Programmers

Programmers create English every day: commit messages, pull request descriptions, code comments, API docs, issue reports and emails to teammates abroad. Writing that reads poorly is rarely a vocabulary problem; it is a matter of not knowing the fixed patterns of these genres. This deck covers 50 core writing words grouped into five themes: commits and reviews, comments and naming, technical docs, issues and errors, and email and collaboration. Every word comes with a real writing example, plus 25 sentence patterns you can reuse right away.

Each deck starts with a solid 50 core words and 25 sentence patterns, and will grow towards around 300 words once the learning experience is validated. More scenarios are on the way: shift handover, quality meetings, project reviews, interviews, email and documentation. Decks are independent, so pick whichever one you need.
