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.

• Changed your mind about a grade? "Undo rating" takes back your last answer.

2.11.0 Aug 21
The catalogue has a new look — decks show their real covers in a clean grid, so it is easier to spot what you want to learn.
Listening has a mini player you can expand right where you are, with speed, pauses and playback settings in one place.
Your playback settings finally stick: the speed you choose is the speed you hear, and pause length is respected in every mode.
The progress slider moves smoothly and stays where you put it instead of snapping back.
Radio plays at normal speed again, using your own settings.
Choosing a language is quicker — your recent and pinned languages come first.
AI stories now count as listened, so your progress reflects what you actually played.
2.7.1 Aug 4
This update focuses on a smoother, more reliable experience:
• Smoother listening — remembers your playback speed, repeats a deck when you reach the end, and recovers automatically from weak connections.
• More reliable reviews — no more duplicate cards, and a clear message if a grade ever fails to save.
• Intro videos now show a preview image and play right on the card.
• Polish and fixes — you can now check your app version in Settings > Account, we fixed a missing logo on the welcome screen, and made various stability improvements.
