Story cards

One story, one missing word

Each card is a short story about everyday life. You find the word from the story around it, the way you meet words in real English.

  1. A story card: “she turned into a ______ lane between two shops”.

    1Read the story

    A few sentences about a market, a bus ride or a rainy day. One word is missing.

  2. The answer field: Type the missing word.

    2Type the word

    Work it out from the story and type it. An English note gives you a hint if you need one.

  3. The answer “narrow” highlighted in the story, a play button for the story audio, and four pictures of the scene.

    3See it and hear it

    The answer shows up in the story, with pictures of the scene, and the story is read aloud.

Spaced review

Review right before you forget

AhaFluent brings each card back just as you are about to forget it. Words you know wait longer. Words you miss come back soon.

Scheduling uses FSRS, an open spaced-repetition algorithm.
