Phrase Builder: five new words inside one phrase

Meet five useful words, hear them in one phrase, then solve mixed challenges that bring the whole phrase together.

How a lesson goes

One phrase, five words, about three minutes

  1. 01

    Meet the words

    Each of the five words arrives with a picture, its audio and, for a non-Latin script, a transliteration.

  2. 02

    Hear the phrase

    The five words are spoken together in one natural phrase, so you hear them doing a job.

  3. 03

    Rebuild it

    Mixed challenges ask you to recognise the words and put the phrase back together from its pieces.

  4. 04

    Keep the words

    Finishing the lesson saves all five words to your collection as cards the other games can use.

Questions

Phrase Builder, briefly

Do I need an account to play Phrase Builder?

No. MemDecks starts a guest session for you, and the words you learn are saved in it. An account keeps them when you change browser or device.

Do I need to add words first?

No. Phrase Builder brings its own words, so it works with an empty collection. Each finished lesson adds its five words to your collection as cards.

Is Phrase Builder free?

Yes. MemDecks is free and has no paid tier.

Which languages does Phrase Builder teach?

Nine as of today: Armenian, Greek, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, German, French and Italian. All of them are taught from English.
