Flashfriend: Learn Languages

Learn a language with flashcards that work the way your memory does.

Flashfriend picks the words that matter most, helps you make each one unforgettable with proven memory techniques and audio, then brings it back just before you'd forget it.

Learn Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Spanish or French, with more languages to come.

A PICTURE OF WHAT THE WORD MEANS TO YOU
Every word gets a picture. You choose a memorable scene, or write your own, and Flashfriend makes the picture from it. Because it starts from what the word means to you, not a stock photo, it's far easier to recall.

A SOUND CUE AND A PLACE FOR EVERY WORD
Each word gets a sound cue: shū sounds like "shoe". And every word that starts with the same sound happens in one place you know, the way memory champions remember. Recall the place and the word's first sound comes back with it.

TONES AND GENDERS IN COLOUR
The details that slip away first become the colour of the picture. In Mandarin, the first tone is red, so the book is red. In Spanish and French, la words are blue. You'll never mix them up.

THE MOST USEFUL WORD NEXT
You don't have to decide what to learn. Flashfriend teaches the most used words first, in the best order to learn them, and gives each one the card that suits it: a picture for simple words, a sentence for harder words and grammar.

SENTENCES WITH ONE NEW WORD
Once you know enough words, new words come in sentences you can already read. Every word is one you know, except the one you're learning, so the new word and the grammar around it both sink in.

HEAR EVERY WORD
Every card comes with natural audio, at full speed or slowly, so you learn how the word sounds as well as what it means.

BACK JUST BEFORE YOU FORGET
Spaced repetition plans every review. Rate how well you remembered, and each card comes back at the right moment: in a day, three days, a week, then longer.
