Gengo WordPower Updated! But can it make you fluent?
Probably not, but it can get you pretty close. This little app does pack a massive punch - master all the words and you’ll reach 80% comprehension, or in other words, daily conversational level!
But if Gengo WordPower wasn’t powerful enough already, we’ve went ahead and added more power!
In Case You Didnt Know...
The Gengo WordPower App provides you with the Core 2000 French words. According to experts, knowing 2000 puts you at over 80% comprehension (exact number varies per language).
So Whats New?
A new sleek black interface & smooth navigation which lets you breeze through your studying.
The new Flashcard system - you will remember those words because the flashcards wont let you go until you do.
