ABC George: Read Real Books
Learn English vocab, offline
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Seventy thousand classics, a dictionary, a word book and quizzes — all of it on your device, none of it needing a connection.
ABC George is a reader for people learning English by reading a lot of it.
Download a classic from Project Gutenberg — Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, and seventy thousand more — and the whole book is on your device. From then on nothing needs a connection: not the text, not the dictionary, not your word book, not the quizzes. Read on a train, on a plane, or anywhere the signal gives up.
READ A WHOLE BOOK, NOT AN EXCERPT
These are the real works, complete and free of copyright in the United States. Chapters are detected on download and long ones are broken into reading-sized sections, so a book is something you can actually finish.
THREE WAYS TO READ
Paged, like a Kindle. One continuous scroll. Or chat, where the chapter arrives a sentence at a time and types itself out. Your place is kept in all three, so you can switch mid-chapter and carry on from the same sentence. Type size, line spacing, margins, typeface and page colour are all yours to set.
A DICTIONARY THAT IS ALREADY THERE
Select a word the way you would anywhere else — long-press, drag the handles — and look it up. WordNet 3.1 senses grouped by part of speech, plus a plain-English learner definition for common words. Inflections resolve on their own: "ran" finds "run", "cities" finds "city". No connection, no waiting.
READ ALOUD
Any word, sentence or passage you select can be spoken, at a speed you choose. Useful for pronunciation, and for reading along.
A WORD BOOK THAT FILLS ITSELF
Every word you look up is saved — with its definition and the sentence you met it in, which is what makes it stick. Browse your own words, or work through the NGSL and NAWL learner word lists that ship with the app.
QUIZZES FROM YOUR OWN READING
Fill-in-the-blank, meaning, reverse and spelling questions, built from the words you actually looked up, scheduled so you meet them again just before you would forget them.
Free, offline, and without an account.
