The Story Behind DailyWordBox
A few years ago, I moved to Northern Ireland and realised that knowing English was not always enough for everyday conversations. I started writing down the phrases, idioms, phrasal verbs, and expressions I heard around me. I looked for a tool that could turn those expressions into visual learning cards, generate useful examples, and schedule reviews through spaced repetition. I could not find exactly what I needed, so I built it myself. Today, I am still the first person using DailyWordBox, and I hope it can support other English learners in the same way.
