LanguaCards · French Flashcards & Vocabulary App

Learn French words, and actually keep them

Build a real French vocabulary

The words you'll actually use, not just the ones that earn points. Topic-based flashcard packs for food, travel, work and more, so you learn what matters to you.

Remember words for good, not just for today

Every card comes back right before you'd naturally forget it. You review less, but it sticks far longer. (Powered by spaced repetition.)

Hear how it's really pronounced

Native-speaker audio on every card, so you don't just read French, you recognise it when someone speaks and sound natural saying it back.

Start from your very first word (A1)

Every word is mapped from your first bonjour (A1) all the way to real conversations (C2). You always know what you can do now and what's next.

Verbs and conjugation, made simple

Vocabulary is the heart of LanguaCards, but French verbs matter too. Dedicated conjugation packs cover the essential tenses and forms, so grammar grows alongside your words.

Make it your own

Add custom flashcards and organise them into your own packs. Perfect for the words you meet in class, books, or conversation.

Why it sticks

Left alone, you forget most new words within days. Each review resets your memory, and the more you remember, the longer it lasts. We time every review for the moment just before you'd forget, so you can be more productive with your learning.

The forgetting curve, with each review resetting retention higher and the gaps growing wider.

The forgetting curve, the idea that we lose most newly learned material within days unless we review it, was first documented by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus in the 1880s.

The core principle, the spacing effect, is well established: spacing practice over time leads to better long-term retention than massing it together, even when the total amount of practice is constant, a finding drawn from a meta-analysis of 317 experiments across 184 articles.

Research also shows the gaps should widen over time: in one study tracking retention out to a year, the best results came from spacing reviews further and further apart as a word became more familiar.

The simplest proven version of this is the Leitner system: cards you get right move up to a longer-interval box, and cards you get wrong drop back to be reviewed more often. LanguaCards works the same way. Each word moves through a ladder of widening intervals as you keep getting it right, and slips back a step the moment you don't, so your hardest words always get the most practice.

How it works

Tell us your level

Pick your CEFR level from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery), or start from your very first word. No French required to begin.

Learn in short bursts

Five minutes a day is enough. Each card pairs the word with audio. Swipe right if you know it, left if you don't, and the app brings it back at the perfect moment.

Watch it climb

The app resurfaces each word just before you'd forget it, and words move up through CEFR levels as you master them. Track your progress across every pack and level.
