Use Fewer Apps
Use fewer apps.
When tools were scarce, any dictionary felt magical. Today the problem is overload: app stores are full of shiny “all‑in‑one” language apps. Before installing anything, ask: what learning job will this app do for me?
- Vocabulary & reading: Quizlet for flashcards. Build or use curated decks; personalise to your needs.
- Listening: TEDICT for dictation practice. One‑time purchase, constantly updated TED Talks, line‑by‑line practice.
Writing and speaking are productive skills — software can support, but real progress comes from practice with people and targeted feedback.
Apply the 20/80 rule: a few tools create most of your results. Master two great apps and use them deeply for three months — you’ll see clear gains.
