In my previous message, I mentioned Memrise for learning TOEIC and NGSL vocabulary and promised to write more about how to use the free version of Memrise. In researching Memrise a little more, I found that it is a pay site if you are using their courses, but I think it should be OK for the word lists that others have uploaded. I believe this means that you can use both the computer and the App versions free.
Rather than try to write an explanation for Memrise in English and "reinvent the wheel," I found a good link that seems to explain well how to sign up for Memrise. Please let me know if this link is no longer accessible, and I will write up an explanation.

Please remember that you can also use your Google accounts if you like. One disadvantage of Memrise is that teachers cannot use it to create separate areas for each class as can be done with Doringo and with Quizlet (for a small fee for teachers). With that in mind, I wanted to see what I could find in Quizlet for studying for the TOEIC test and for the NGSL test. Lists for both of those are available for the teacher to use to create study sets both in English and Japanese, but I also was curious about what is available for the individual learner.
Actually the NGSL word lists are available to be studied on Quizlet in sets of 50 or 100 words. These and many more resources for students and teachers are available on newgeneralservicelist.org. The subpage for the NGSL words in English are available on the New General Services List page at http://www.newgeneralservicelist.org/ngsl-for-quizlet-soon. For other languages it is necessary to search Quizlet to see what individual teachers have made available. Some are available at https://quizlet.com/subject/NGSL-Japanese/. Some have definitions in both English and Japanese.
The Quizlet app is available for both Apple and Google Play and links can be found on the quizlet.com page.
See you next time!
