This B1 Vocab Booster focuses on practical vocabulary related to Studying at the University.
The stories introduce you to 100 practical words and phrases for everyday situations across 15 engaging episodes (10 regular + 5 recap).
The Structure
- Intermediate (B1): 15 episodes (10 regular + 5 recap) with new words with more complex stories and useful connecting words and grammar patterns.
- Vocabulary: 100 new words introduced across 10 regular stories
- Recap episodes: Review stories that reinforce vocabulary (no new words)
This series gives you control. You decide whether you just read or if you want to study the vocabulary first.
How to Use This Series
Before you start an episode, you can see all the new vocabulary in the study section. You can learn the words first, and then read the story to see how they are used in context. This helps you move from memorising words to actually understanding them in real situations.
We also provide an Anki deck so you can practice with spaced repetition and remember the words for longer.
- Study – Look at the vocabulary list for the episode before you read.
- Practice – Use the Anki deck to review the words regularly.
- Read – Enjoy the story. You will recognise every word because you already studied it.
- Remember – The words appear again in later episodes, which helps you keep them in your memory.
Perfect For
- Self-directed readers who want structured, engaging content
- Learners building vocabulary at the Intermediate (B1) level
- Those who want to move beyond textbook dialogues into real stories
- Students interested in practical language for daily life
