Synapse - Language Learning

Learn languages through story

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Sound like a local — not a tourist. Learn through immersive stories, snap a photo of anything to learn it, and train your ear with science-based memory tools. Synapse is built on how your brain actually learns languages — not how textbooks teach them. Learn through immersive stories, snap a photo of anything to learn its name, and train your ear to sound like a local. LEARN THROUGH STORY Watch full-screen cinematic stories with word-by-word translations synced to the audio. Tap any word to learn it instantly, or save a whole sentence to your study deck — story gives every new word a context your brain can actually hold onto. SMART FLASHCARDS Build vocabulary with spaced repetition powered by the FSRS algorithm. Create cards from translations, AI-generated definitions, or snap a photo of any object with Language Lens to instantly learn what it's called in your target language.
