Would you like to improve your English vocabulary? Chances are if you are reading this article it will be one of your goals. Well here is a new free resource for you called WordStash. Which in my opinion is ideal for developing vocabulary for English conversation.
Here is what the creator of this great English learning resource has to say about his product:
WordStash allows you to create your own digital flashcards and provides you with tools to help you learn them. It is backed by a dictionary with over 200,000 English words and phrases and the site allows you to select individual definitions when creating your flashcards. These flashcards are interactive, with features such as click-able synonyms and sentences from online news sources showing the word being used in context..
The main value of WordStash lies in the engaging automated quizzes and games. The site has a Learning Mode that gauges how well you know a flashcard using fill in the blank and multiple choice questions and uses this information to calculate the optimal time to quiz you using a spaced repetition algorithm. Also, the fill in the blank question is designed with a game element that encourages engagement even if you do not know the answer. It allows you to purchase clues and eventually narrow down the answer, instead of just giving up, which fosters stronger retention.
To which I would add there are special sections for teachers and students making WordStash a very useful tools in the English teaching/learning environment.
