The entire app is built around spaced repetition, active recall, and fast card creation — the three things that make languages “stick.”
Here’s why it helps you learn any language MUCH faster.
🚀 Master Vocabulary With Spaced Repetition
Flashrecall schedules every word at the perfect time using:
- Active Recall → you try to remember before flipping
- Spaced Repetition → cards appear right before you forget
- Difficulty Rating → hard words return sooner, easy ones later
This is how you build massive vocabulary without forgetting half of it a week later.
Perfect for every language:
Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, German, Arabic — you name it.
🧠 Learn Grammar & Sentence Patterns Faster
Language learning isn’t just vocab — you need to internalise structures.
Flashrecall helps you create flashcards for:
- grammar points
- conjugations
- sentence patterns
- polite vs casual forms
- particles
- example sentences
With spaced repetition, these patterns become automatic in your brain.
🔊 Improve Pronunciation With Audio
Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :
Flashrecall supports audio playback so you can train your ears while reviewing:
- tones (Chinese)
- pitch accent (Japanese)
- rolled R (Spanish)
- vowel/umlaut sounds (German)
Hearing + repeating + spaced repetition = FAST improvement.
📸 Create Flashcards From ANY Language Material
You can turn any language content into flashcards instantly:

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the fastest way to create flashcards?
Manually typing cards works but takes time. Many students now use AI generators that turn notes into flashcards instantly. Flashrecall does this automatically from text, images, or PDFs.
Is there a free flashcard app?
Yes. Flashrecall is free and lets you create flashcards from images, text, prompts, audio, PDFs, and YouTube videos.
How do I start spaced repetition?
You can manually schedule your reviews, but most people use apps that automate this. Flashrecall uses built-in spaced repetition so you review cards at the perfect time.
What is active recall and how does it work?
Active recall is the process of actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing it. Flashrecall forces proper active recall by making you think before revealing answers, then uses spaced repetition to optimize your review schedule.
What's the best way to learn a new language?
Research shows that combining flashcards with spaced repetition and active recall is highly effective. Flashrecall automates this process, generating cards from your study materials and scheduling reviews at optimal intervals.
