"I cant believe how well this works. Its magic. I wish I found it sooner. Thank you!"
Based on the latest research in language acquisition and memory formation, VivaVocabs smart flash cards are powered by an "AI tutor" - a state-of-the-art algorithm that adapts the content you see based on your learning progress.
VivaVocab just focuses on vocabulary, so we recommend combining it with other apps (or tutors) for a complete language learning experience.
Available Languages :
- English / ESL
- Mandarin Chinese (with Simplified Chinese hanzi and/or pinyin)
- French
- Turkish
- Russian
- Polish
Features include...
Customization
Adjust what cues are displayed for each language, to make it appropriate for first-time-language learners or students learning a second language.
ex. disable text cues to play just with pictures and audio, appropriate for children learning their first language
ex. disable hanzi character cues in Chinese, to focus on building your vocabulary for speaking/listening, but not reading/writing
No Shenanigans
We deeply respect our users: no ads, no manipulative gamification "dark patterns", no sharing data with 3rd parties, no mandatory accounts.
Multiple Profile Support
Ex. you can create separate profiles for siblings sharing an iPad.
Device Sync
You can optionally create an account to be able to sync profiles between multiple devices.
Offline Play
You can play without internet (but, you do need to be online to download new content)
Try each language for free, with 10+ levels covering basics such as numbers, colors, days-of-the-week and food. If you like the experience, purchase a language pack to unlock 1000+ words for a given language and all future content updates (you even get to pick your price).
We want to hear from you! If you find a bug, have words youd like us to add, or have an idea for a new feature, please email [email protected]
