A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded this application to my Android G1-Phone. I’ve been testing its possibilities and it seems a very nice programme to practice and increase your vocabulary skills.
Powervocab is a vocabulary builder with serveral games to play with words: Word Challenge, Spell Me Right, Learn Words, Search Words, Review Marked Words and Statistics are its options. I got to learn a few words with the basic pack that comes with the programme.

Garrulous in Powervocab
Well, some of them I already knew, some I didn’t know at all, and there is a third group of words that I vaguely knew or I believed I knew. This happens quite often with vocabulary, actually.
You have the possibility to pay for more words. On the left you can see an example of Word Challenge in which you are supposed to choose the correct definition of “garrulous”.
I liked the application a lot and even more its potential. I find this is a great software, especially for children and teenagers.
