Flashcards on steroids: whole sentences, audio on every card, smart repetition and hands-free listening. Bring your Anki decks or turn any text into a lesson with AI.
Flashcards on steroids.
Taalhammer takes the flashcard — the most reliable way to remember a language — and gives it everything a paper card never had: whole sentences, audio, an algorithm that knows when you're about to forget, and a mode that lets you learn with the screen off.
Anki trains your memory. Taalhammer trains your language.
WHAT'S ON THE CARDS
• Whole sentences, not lone words — you learn each word the way it's really used, and the grammar comes with it
• Audio on every card, so you learn how it sounds, not only how it's spelled
• Smart spaced repetition (our own algorithm) brings each card back just before you'd forget it
WHAT'S AROUND THEM
• Hands-free Listening mode plays your cards as audio — on the bus, at the gym, in the car, with the screen off
• Ready-made step-by-step courses from your first words up to B2, plus topic collections for real life
• Your own material in seconds — paste a text or a word list and AI turns it into flashcards, helped by a translator trained on 10 million real examples
• Coming from Anki? Import your .apkg decks straight from the file picker and keep every card
• 75+ languages for your own cards — English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Polish and many more
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who already knows flashcards work and wants them to work harder: beginners building their first thousand words, and intermediate learners who understand a lot but go blank when it's time to speak.

I love the concept and this method has the potential to be truly outstanding for acquiring a foreign language effectively and efficiently. But, there are just too many mistakes already at the beginner level in German. For example: Das ist ihre Schule. Es ist ihre. The second sentence is so wrong, I had a hard time believing my eyes. Novice German language learners can spot it. The creator of the app clearly did not do the proper quality assurance with a native speaker. I found other mistakes too and reported them. If these issues are fixed, this would be a great app that uses the efficiency of the Glossika method, but without the random sentences and the audio quality issues that plague Glossika. I’m looking forward to an error free version of Taalhammer for German.
Developer Response
Thank you for the precise example and for reporting the errors you found — that's exactly what helps. Since then we've been correcting the beginner content continuously. If you come across anything else, the "report a problem" button on the flashcard sends us the exact sentence, so we can react quickly.Łukasz, Taalhammer
So much potential
Tccsii
I love the concept but the AI model seems subpar. The generated stories are often very formally written and dry. They don’t test conversational Spanish the way that it is spoken in day to day speech. Integration with Google Gemini or ChatGPT’s latest models wouldn’t dramatically improve the experience and easily turn this into one of the best apps around for language learning
Developer Response
Thank you — fair point that generated stories could sound too formal for everyday Spanish. The story generator has changed a lot since your review, and we keep working on making the language sound natural.- Łukasz, Taalhammer
Hidden Gem Language App
Amazon Seller App is Great
This app is one of the best language learning apps on the market. It uses SRS (Spaced Repetition System) really well, helping you ingrain info better than apps like Duolingo, Memrise, Babbel, or Busuu. The method here is cool - they use SRS with sentences, not just individual words, so you get more context and are more likely to memorize and use the words. They also begin to combine sentences you’ve memorized into short stories you can play on the go, reinforcing what you've learned. They're adding tons of new features, have more languages than other apps, and a simple interface. You can even use AI to build custom decks based on your preferred topics. Overall, it's one of the best ways to learn - and I've tried almost every app out there. This is probably the only language learning app that doesn't need to be combined with other apps to be complete.
No real thought went into this
Mad Reviewing
Don’t bother with a subscription. The app is horribly organized with no real progression and seems to entirely rely on selling their live classes for any real direction or learning. Ironically I wouldn’t sign up for one, I’d rather pick my class or tutor on my own. Terrible app all around EDIT: not meant for a different app, they push classes after you subscribe. Given the dev response I should have pushed for my fee back, still might
Developer Response
To set the record straight: Taalhammer has never offered live classes, and nothing in the app depends on them — it's built entirely for self-study. We suspect this review may have been meant for a different app. Progression in Taalhammer comes from the Core courses, which take you level by level, with spaced repetition scheduling what you review and when.Łukasz, Taalhammer
• Signing in is more reliable, especially with Apple and Facebook on iPhone.
• Listening: order, sides and pauses are now set in one panel right in the player, and the progress bar scrubs smoothly on iPhone.
• Edit or delete an item in a collection straight from your phone: tap ⋮ or press and hold.
• Favourites are now kept separately for Learning and Listening.
• Reporting bad audio? You can now point to the exact recording.
• Plus many smaller fixes and stability improvements.
