Vocabulum is a free app for learning Greek in your browser or Telegram. This page lists notable updates to the app, from new sections to new topics and exercises, with the date each one arrived.
The app now has a grammar reference: short chapters with rules, form tables and examples. You can open it without starting an exercise, for example to brush up on endings before a session.
The rules are written in English and Russian, following the interface language.
The bot can now remind you to study. A reminder arrives as a message with a picture and a button that opens the app, timed for your time zone.
The dictionary now has search: find a word by its Greek spelling or its translation and add it on its own, without adding the whole collection.
Ready-made phrases for letters and writing tasks joined the dictionary, along with exercises to build a phrase from words and put the words in order.
The past tense arrived in the grammar trainer. Exercises start with common verbs and go up to B1–B2 forms, and a separate topic brings all the verbs together.
As in other topics, a wrong answer shows the correct form and explains the choice.
In early April every word and phrase in the dictionary got audio, and word cards got pictures. The pictures are made with the help of artificial intelligence, and the app says so.
New exercises arrived around the same time: match pairs, recognize a word by ear and pick the picture with its translation. A new word is now shown in full first, with its picture and sound, before it appears in exercises.
Next to grammar, the app gained a words section. Words are grouped by topic, and each session mixes new words with ones that are due for review.
After every answer the app recalculates when to bring a word back: a correct answer pushes the review further out, and a mistake brings it closer. You can also practice the words you got wrong on their own.
Vocabulum started as a Greek grammar trainer. The first version covered articles, the accusative and genitive cases, exercises for telling them apart, and pronouns.
After each mistake the app explained which form was needed and why. The very next day, exercises on word order and agreement endings were added.
