About photo vocab
Photo Vocab (short for Photo Vocabulary) is FunkyEnglish’s picture-led approach to building your English word bank — over 70 topics and counting, from everyday objects to hobbies you didn’t know needed their own vocabulary set.
How It Works
Each Photo Vocab page takes a single photo topic and builds a focused vocabulary list around it, with example sentences showing each word in context and a short quiz at the end. Seeing a word next to the thing it actually describes makes it far easier to remember than a list on its own.
Why Learn This Way?
Vocabulary sticks better when it’s attached to something visual and specific — it’s a lot easier to remember “handlebars” once you’ve seen exactly which part of the bicycle they are. Photo Vocab topics range from the everyday (bicycles, avocados) to the genuinely niche (bagpipes, arm wrestling), so there’s usually something to hold your interest.
