Multiple choice: pick the right translation
Four options, one correct. The fastest way to check whether you recognise a word.
Recognising is not the same as producing, and you need both. Multiple choice trains the first: telling the right word apart from similar alternatives, which is exactly what happens when you read or listen.
How to play
- A word appears.
- You pick its translation from four options.
- You find out immediately whether you were right, and move on.
When it is the right game
It has the least friction of the twelve: nothing to type, so it works on a phone and in dead time. Use it for a broad, fast pass over many words.
When you want to check that you actually produce the word rather than merely recognise it, switch to typing the translation or to flashcards. The wrong options help more than they look: they force you to discriminate, not just to recall. All the games
FAQ
- Where do the wrong options come from?
- From your own vocabulary, which makes them harder and more useful than unrelated random words.
- Is it useful for exam preparation?
- For the comprehension side, yes. For written production, pair it with the writing games.
