PolyYapp

Learning Dutch

Most adults learning Dutch combine a course, for grammar, speaking and structure, with daily vocabulary practice, because a course alone rarely repeats words often enough to make them stick. PolyYapp is the vocabulary part only. It is not a full course: it has no grammar lessons and no speaking practice.

What a course does that a word app does not

A course or a teacher explains grammar in order, makes you speak and write, and corrects you. Those are the skills an exam and daily life test, and no vocabulary app replaces them. If you are starting from zero, start there.

What daily vocabulary practice adds

Words are the part of a language that only volume and repetition fix. A short daily session that brings back each word just before you would forget it keeps the words from your course, your job and your post from slipping away between lessons.

PolyYapp does that for Dutch on iPhone and iPad, from 7 languages, with no account needed to start.

Where PolyYapp helps

  • Daily spaced-repetition practice of Dutch vocabulary.
  • Learning from your own language, if it is one of the 7 the app supports.
  • Keeping the words from your course and daily life in one review list.

Where it does not

  • It is not a full course and has no grammar lessons.
  • It has no speaking or writing practice.
  • It runs on iPhone and iPad (and Apple-silicon Macs), not on Android, and needs a connection.
