Clozemaster is a vocabulary-focused language learning platform that uses cloze exercises (fill-in-the-blank) to teach words in context rather than isolated words. Developed by Language Innovation LLC and launched in 2017, it sources authentic sentences from the Tatoeba database to provide real-world language exposure.
Ideal for all levels. Perfect as a post-Duolingo tool for learners seeking more challenging, context-rich practice.
Create a free account at clozemaster.com or download the mobile app (iOS/Android). Select your native language and target language from available pairings, then choose your preferred learning mode and difficulty level.
Start with the Fluency Fast Track for structured progression, select between multiple choice or text input modes, and complete daily rounds of sentences. Review missed words using the spaced repetition system and track progress through statistics and leaderboards.

Use text input mode instead of multiple choice for better retention, maintain consistent daily practice even if brief, and supplement with other resources for grammar and speaking skills since Clozemaster focuses primarily on vocabulary.
Sentences can be random or unusual since they're crowd-sourced from Tatoeba, and the app provides limited grammar instruction or explanation. Audio is robotic-sounding text-to-speech.
