About the “IELTS Band 4-5 Vocabulary” deck

IELTS Band 4-5 Vocabulary is a set of 2086 English words studied with spaced-repetition flashcards. Every card carries the word, its phonetic transcription, the meaning in your language and an example sentence, and it comes back for review right when you are about to forget it — so the words settle into long-term memory instead of fading after a day. The deck is aimed at learners around level A1.

Frequently asked questions

How many words are in the “IELTS Band 4-5 Vocabulary” deck?

The deck holds 2086 words, split into smaller groups so you can study a manageable batch at a time instead of facing the whole list at once.

Is this deck free?

You can read the word list on this page without an account. Studying it with flashcards, audio and spaced repetition needs a free Parroto account; a few advanced decks are reserved for PRO members.

How long does it take to learn 2086 words?

That depends on your daily pace. With spaced repetition you never restudy the whole deck: each day you review only the cards that are due, usually a few dozen. Fifteen to twenty minutes a day is enough to make steady progress — consistency matters far more than long sessions.
