- Study tens of thousands of English, Spanish, French, Swedish, Italian and German words.
- Each word comes with its own image, sentence, audio, and translation.
- Flashcards are scheduled using the proven Spaced Repetition System (SRS).
- Add words from your favorite videos, websites, ebooks, or use pre-made word lists to prepare for A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 exams.
- Practice real, commonly used words—sorted by their frequency in the language!
- Choose your preferred learning method: speaking, typing, or simply tap to reveal!
- Skip what you already know—mark hundreds or even thousands of words in minutes.
- Ask an AI tutor about words or sentences you don't understand... Or role-play any scenario that comes to mind.
- Are you advanced enough for total immersion? Use monolingual flashcards with definition of the word in your target language.

Excellent and thoughtfully designed app with loads of features. Flash cards have everything and always run smoothly. AI + Linguee citations make them easy to rely on. Love how easy it is to add words to my decks from epubs, news articles, etc. Truly feels like every great and effective online language-learning feature in one app — and honestly can’t believe how new it is! Using it now for German and would be super glad to see Russian on here too. Already recommended to a few friends. To the developer, thank you!!!
Awesome App. Keep going!

Great words, great context, great spaced repetition, and good use of AI.I do hope that there is a larger selection of target languages in the future. It would be awesome to have card decks and AI conversations for Russian, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. I’d probably use this app 99% of the time for all of my vocab learning if those languages were added.Obviously, other languages might take some time to implement, but I’m patient!
Super helpful vocabulary app!

I have downloaded and deleted so many language learning apps because they over promise and under deliver. This one says it will teach you vocabulary - and it does! I like that I can choose how I want to practice (e.g., type, speak, recall and by definition, in a sentence, etc.). It is the right amount of customization, while keeping focus on learning new words.
Love the look

So I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I'll admit that what drew me to this app and it's keeping me there is that I like looking at it. It has a retro but modern aesthetic that I really like. And I'm focusing on that aspect for this review because there are many apps that perform the same function -- flashcards to learn vocab. So for me, what makes this one stand out is that I like looking at it haha
