Are you tired of dull vocab apps that are just variations of memorizing definitions and flipping through virtual flashcards? Well, we LOVE vocabulary words but hate rote memorization and boring example sentences. So we built VocabSushi, a revolutionary app that lets you learn the vocabulary from classic books like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Frankenstein" using actual sentences! We think you’ll agree there’s no better way to learn vocabulary than through the writing of the best authors of our time.
VocabSushi is endlessly addictive because it offers content that is always fresh and interesting. No other vocabulary app does this. When you’re done learning the vocabulary from, say, Jack London’s "Call of the Wild" you can dive into H.G. Wells’ "War of the Worlds" or 100 other books.
We think a great sentence is like a work of art, and we’ve selected thousands of the best ones so you can read bitesize portions of your favorite books and focus on the vocabulary in the sentences. Best of all, its free!
