Learn British English with flashcards that actually stick

Audio-first vocabulary training with spaced repetition. Learn the words you will actually hear in the UK, remember them long-term, and practise both understanding and speaking.

British English here means the learning content. Your interface language and your translation language are separate settings, so you can learn British English in the setup that suits you.

Because in real life, English is not one thing.

How it works

How My Lingua Cards helps you remember

Everything is built for recall: audio, context, and prompts that switch from recognition to speaking.

Audio first

Hear the word, see it in context, and stop guessing pronunciation.

Spaced repetition

You get a daily queue. The system brings back what you are about to forget. No planning, no spreadsheets.

Two-way practice

Recognise it first, then switch to recall, so the vocabulary becomes usable when you speak.

British English for moving to the UK

British English for moving to the UK

Relocating is not about advanced English. It is about useful English, said in a normal UK way.

What you will learn
  • • UK life vocabulary: council, bins, GP, tenancy, direct debit
  • • Polite requests that feel natural: Would you mind…? Could I possibly…?
  • • Real situations: renting, transport, services, work chats, small talk
Phrases you will actually use
Is this still available? Could I book an appointment? Sorry, could you say that again? Where is the nearest…? Do you take contactless? I’m just popping out for a minute.

If you are moving soon, focus on daily life, services, and renting first. It gives you the fastest payoff.
