Hebrew & Greek vocabulary trainer

The fastest way into reading the Bible in its original languages is to learn its words in order of how often they occur. A small core of words carries most of the text: learn the words that appear 50 or more times in the Greek New Testament and you can already recognize the great majority of words on a typical page. This trainer builds a deck of exactly those words — the most frequent first — and drills them with spaced review. Reveal each word's meaning, rate how well you knew it, and the words you find hard come back sooner.

Every count is a real occurrence count from the tagged text, and every gloss comes from the lexicon — nothing here is invented. Your progress is kept only on this device; there is no account and nothing is sent anywhere.

How the drill works

  • Frequency-ordered. The deck leads with the most common words, so the time you spend pays off fastest.
  • Spaced review (Leitner). Each word lives in one of five boxes. Get it right and it moves up a box and comes back later; miss it and it drops to box one and returns soon.
  • Pronunciation. Tap the speaker to hear the word read aloud, using your device's own speech voices — no audio is downloaded.
  • Private by design. Your review history is stored only in this browser. Clearing site data resets it; nothing is uploaded.
