LANGBOX / ENGLISH READING PRACTICE

English reading practice that turns into vocabulary review
From understanding to spaced repetition

Read real content first, look up the words you need, then let spaced repetition bring them back as practice. Level-appropriate courses, sentence work, and grammar practice cover the rest.

Learning path

From reading practice to spaced repetition

LangBox connects comprehension, lookup, and vocabulary review in one path. Use only the parts that fit the material and your available time.

  1. Read in context

    Open a foreign-language webpage you can mostly follow, keep the original visible, and use the paragraph translation when needed.

  2. Look up words in place

    Double-click an unfamiliar word for pronunciation, part of speech, and definitions, then return to the sentence to confirm the sense.

  3. Save study material when useful

    With Personalized learning recommendations enabled, eligible translations using LangBox managed models with remaining credits can enter the learning workflow.

  4. Review with FSRS spaced repetition

    Use cloze, spelling, synonym, and sentence activities to meet expressions again when they need more practice. FSRS schedules each review from how well you remembered the word last time.

Start practice

Practice formats

Practice pages explain the reason

Practice is more than a completion count. Each set includes answers and explanations so you can separate correct spelling, suitable context, and reliable recall.

Gap-fill and vocabulary

Read the complete sentence, type the missing word, and re-enter it after checking the answer to confirm the meaning.

Sentences and grammar

Build a sentence word by word, or use was/were and other contrasts to check agreement, tense, and structure.

Hints and review records

Open help when you need it. Independent answers and completions after viewing an answer are distinguished for later review.

READING PRACTICE FAQ

Questions about reading practice, courses and review

Review the course scope, practice formats, and the extension workflow before choosing where to start.

What counts as English reading practice in LangBox?

Any real page you read with the extension: an article, documentation, a PDF or an EPUB, with the translation under each paragraph and the dictionary a double-click away. There is no graded reader library; the practice is the material you already want to read.

Is LangBox a spaced repetition app?

The review part is. Words and expressions that enter the learning workflow come back through cloze, spelling, synonym and sentence activities, and FSRS sets the next review date from your answers. It is built around what you read rather than imported decks.

Which English courses are available in LangBox?

LangBox currently offers two public practice sets: CEFR A2 English grammar and IELTS grammar and expression. Both open directly without sign-in or installation.

What does the A2 course practise?

The A2 set covers past forms, future plans, comparatives, and common quantifiers through 20 gap-fill questions plus sentence and grammar activities.

What is included in the IELTS course?

The IELTS set practises concession, inversion, conditionals, and common ways to express opinions and trends in academic and workplace contexts. It is study practice, not an official test or mock exam.

Can I see answers and explanations while practising?

Yes. Every question includes a reference answer and explanation. Independent answers and completions after revealing an answer are counted separately so you can see what needs more review.

How does FSRS connect review to webpage reading?

When Personalized learning recommendations are enabled, eligible translations can enter the learning workflow and return through cloze, spelling, synonym, and sentence activities. Whether material is generated depends on the model and available credits.

Do the public courses require an account or extension?

The public A2 and IELTS practice pages work without sign-in or installation. The extension connects bilingual webpage reading and dictionary lookup with personalized review.
