Drops

Free language learning for 55+ languages

Visit Drops

Drops is a vocabulary-focused language learning app for iOS and Android that uses short, fast-paced word games to build word knowledge. It combines spaced repetition, contextual learning, and visual association with mnemonic images, aiming to make daily practice a brief routine rather than a long study session. The app covers more than 5,000 words and phrases across 55+ languages, with grammar content available for a subset of those languages.

Features include daily sessions of about five minutes, quiz mode for contextual learning, monthly challenges, streaks, reminders, and a Visual Dictionary. Grammar modules are offered for English, Spanish, German, European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Tagalog, and French. Companion apps cover writing systems (Scripts) and children's learning (Droplets), and a Multiplayer option is listed alongside Gift Drops.

Drops is aimed at learners at various proficiency levels who want short, regular vocabulary practice. It is available as a free download, with a Premium edition that adds unlimited learning time, ad-free use, offline access, all content, and exclusive gameplay.
