Reviews scheduled with FSRS
PhrasePro schedules your reviews with FSRS: what you find hard comes back sooner, what you know well comes back less often.
English the way it’s
really spoken.
Your English is correct – and yet you still lose the thread in meetings. With PhrasePro, you practice 1,400+ idioms, phrasal verbs, collocations and proverbs in 15 practice modes.
PhrasePro is available for Android on Google Play.
A little test: do you understand these?
Five expressions from PhrasePro. The words are simple – yet the meaning is not always obvious. Tap a row to see the answer.
break the ice
To start a conversation so that everyone in a group feels more comfortable – for example at a first meeting.
bite the bullet
To do something unpleasant that cannot be avoided.
look into
To follow up on something, to check or examine it – for example a problem or a complaint.
run out of
To have nothing left of something – for example time, money or milk.
better safe than sorry
It is better to be careful than to regret it afterwards.
Didn’t know all five? These are exactly the kinds of expressions PhrasePro helps you practice – each with its meaning and an example sentence in English.
Why idioms, of all things?
With idioms, the meaning does not follow from the individual words. PhrasePro shows the meaning and an example sentence for every entry, both in English.

The Curiovo team
We are Curiovo – people who enjoy learning languages ourselves and want to contribute to language learning with good apps.
We share one conviction: a language is not just vocabulary and grammar, but also its idioms. That is why we build apps that focus on exactly that. A good tool won’t do the learning for you – but it should make sticking with it enjoyable.
