Phrasal Verbs: English Trainer

Phrasal verbs are the hardest part of everyday English. give up, get over, put off, come across — tiny words that change everything, and the part learners say never sticks. This trainer makes them stick.

The Verbs That Matter Most

Meet Dot

Every verb is a motion, and Dot — an elastic animated ball with strong opinions about direction — acts each one out while you practice. UP springs, OUT exits, DOWN settles. The animation is the meaning: a second memory hook beyond words.

How It Works

• Recall-based drills: choose the meaning, pick or type the particle, produce past forms
• Listening drills with natural and slow speech, so your ear learns too
• Spaced repetition: each verb returns just before you'd forget it — intervals grow when you're right, shrink when you miss
• Gentle difficulty ramp: multiple choice first, typing only once a verb is established
• Finished your daily reviews? Carry on with bonus practice whenever you like

Real Language, Not Textbook Lines

Real example sentences from a large open corpus of native usage appear throughout the course, alongside definitions written in plain learner English.
