Loufoque

Learn languages, made absurd

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Forget plain translations. Loufoque turns every word into an absurd AI image your brain can't forget, so it sticks for real. Free to start. You don't forget words because you're bad at languages. You forget them because a plain translation is forgettable. Loufoque makes words impossible to forget. Here's why it works when nothing else did: your brain can't hold onto a plain translation, but it can't forget a ridiculous picture either. So in Loufoque, every word becomes a vivid, absurd, AI-generated image. You create the association yourself, which is exactly why it sticks, or you open the community bank and adopt the best image another learner made for that word. Either way, the word is yours. It's stupid. That's the point. Then the words lock in on their own. Spaced repetition, the memory science the serious nerds swear by, brings each card back right before you'd forget it. No cramming. No streak guilt. No owl. Because the goal was never a streak. It's to actually use the language, to understand and be understood. Loufoque gets you there, and it never feels like studying. And it stays fun, because you don't do it alone. Challenge your friends and duel them on real words to see who actually remembers. WHY LOUFOQUE IS DIFFERENT - Vivid AI images for every word, created by you or adopted from the community, impossible to copy on a normal flashcard app - A community bank of mnemonic cards, so you can learn from the sharpest memory hooks other people made - Spaced repetition (SM-2) that locks words into long-term memory, not cramming - Real pronunciation audio, human voices plus high-quality AI - Multiplayer that's actually fun: challenge friends and duel them head-to-head GRAMMAR YOU LEARN WITHOUT NOTICING Our signature game is grammar in disguise. You build a gloriously absurd sentence one card at a time, and to make it hold together you have to nail the real grammar: conjugation, gender agreement, plurals, cases. You're laughing at "the warm morning wakes the tall story," and the rule sticks anyway. Play solo against our AI or team up with a friend. COLLECT AS YOU LEARN Finish a sub-level, complete a story, master a set, and you unlock collectible cards by rarity. The dopamine of a mobile game, pointed at your memory instead of wasting your time. 4 LANGUAGES, REAL PAIRS Russian, French, English, Spanish. Learn from a language you already know. New to the Russian alphabet? A guided track teaches you to read Cyrillic before you start on words. Works offline once your cards are loaded, so you can review on the subway, on a plane, anywhere. FREE TO START 15 mnemonic images and 100 cards, free, with no trial countdown. Enough to feel it work before you decide. Go Premium for unlimited images and the full library. Stop studying. Start playing. Finally remember.
