1. I don't really understand what this is about. Having a description on the landing page would help.

> Barron's 800 Words list with example sentences

who is this Barron?

2. Please can you add pronunciation :D

3. words need a definition as well, not sure what some of these means even with the examples.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand that the current UX is very unintuitive as this was a one day hack which I published online. I will add a description and search feature soon.

Regarding Pronunciation and definitions: I am exploring the possibility of integrating "Wordnet" by Princeton University. I will try to integrate it as soon as possible.

What kind of pronunciation? IPA? Phonics?

I think if you are asking that question you are probably not the target audience for this website.
