1,500+ IELTS-specific idioms, collocations, proverbs, and academic vocabulary — each with a clear definition, a real example sentence, and a quiz question to lock it in.
Study cards, quizzes, and progress tracking — every expression selected specifically for IELTS relevance.
No bare word lists. Each idiom or collocation card shows a plain-English definition, a real example sentence, audio pronunciation, and an illustration where it helps memory. You learn how the phrase is used, not just what it means — which is exactly what the Lexical Resource criterion rewards.
Idioms, proverbs, similes, set expressions, six collocation types, academic vocabulary, countable vs uncountable patterns, quantifiers, article patterns, and synonym sets. The categories mirror the language areas IELTS Speaking and Writing actually test.

Collocations are word pairs that naturally occur together, like "conduct research" or "pressing concern." Awareness of collocation is written into the Band 7 descriptor for Lexical Resource, so accurate collocations directly support a higher Writing score. Learn more →
