About Blungie

Most learners don't run out of grammar. They run out of words.

You can know every tense and still go quiet when the right word won't come. A word stays with you when you can see it, hear it, meet it in a real sentence and recall it at the right moment. Blungie is built around those four moments.

  1. Watercolour

    See the picture

    A picture explains the word before any definition does.

  2. serene

    Hear the sound

    You hear the word, and every example sentence, read aloud.

  3. The lake looked serene at dawn.

    El lago se veía sereno al amanecer.

    Meet it in a sentence

    A real sentence shows how the word is actually used.

  4. Type it in English

    sereno, tranquilo

    Recall it on time

    Later, you bring it back from memory, right when it's due.

What we believe

Six principles behind every screen.

They decide what we build, and just as often, what we leave out.

  1. Pictures before definitions

    A good picture explains a word faster than a dictionary entry. Every card opens with an image, and the meaning in your language comes right after.

    • cozy
    • fragile
    • walk

  2. Context over word lists

    A list tells you that a word exists. A sentence shows you how to use it. Every meaning comes with three short example sentences, each with its translation.

    1. This room feels cozy.
    2. We sat by the fire in a cozy cabin.
    3. She wore a cozy sweater.

  3. Recall over re-reading

    Scrolling is not learning.

    Seeing a card doesn't count. A word moves forward only when you pull it from memory yourself, in four short games spaced out over days and weeks.

    • Listen & tap the picture
    • Match
    • Fill the gap
    • Type it in English

  4. Respect your attention

    We want you to come back because you want to, not because your phone keeps buzzing. Blungie sends at most two notifications a day, stays quiet at night, and one tap silences it for the rest of the day.

    • At most 2 a day
    • Quiet from 22:00 to 09:30
    • Mute for today in one tap

  5. Your language first

    Meanings, translations and the whole app speak your language. That's 12 languages today, including right-to-left Arabic.

    • Türkçe
    • Español
    • Português

    • Italiano
    • العربيةright-to-left

Made independently

Built by an independent developer in Türkiye.

There's no big team behind Blungie, and no pressure to grow at any cost. Just a small, focused effort to build the vocabulary app we always wanted to use.

Being small means we can be careful. We release things when they're ready, not before.

  • Made in Türkiye, for learners everywhere
  • Focused on one thing: English words that stick
  • Your feedback reaches the person who builds the app

Your next English word is waiting.

Blungie is coming soon to Google Play, for Android 8.0 and newer.
