Follow your curiosity.
Browse alphabetically or by topic: everyday communication, travel, food, shopping, work, and more. Course vocabulary is available from day one.
Connect the pieces.
Play normal and slow audio. Explore available example sentences, usage guidance, related forms, and word families to understand more than a translation.
One thought, different forms
From lookup
to understanding.
When an entry includes related forms or usage notes, you can see the connections without piecing them together yourself. Then head to the Phrasebook for a useful expression or Grammar Center for the pattern behind it.
Entry details and translation support vary by word, language, and device.
A few things you might be wondering.
Is the Loquus Dictionary free?
Yes. Find it under Reference in the Practice tab. Looking up words is part of free access and never uses one of your three daily lesson starts or changes your course progress.
Does the Dictionary include phrases and sentences?
Yes. Browsing the Dictionary lists words, and the Phrasebook tab on the same screen groups phrases by situation. When you search, the Dictionary also finds matching phrases and example sentences.
Do I need to type accents?
No. A search without accents still finds the word, so cafe finds café. You can also search by English meaning or, in courses written in another script, by romanization.
Can I search in my own language?
Yes, when the app is set to your language. On iPhone and iPad, if Apple translation supports your language, Loquus uses it on your device to turn your search into English and match it to course entries. Your first search may need a language download.
