Vocabulary that survives the airport
Words you don't use fade. AnkiCat builds decks from your own reading and conversations, then keeps them alive with recall practice, so your vocabulary survives the airport.
Why it's hard to hold onto
Use it or lose it
Vocabulary fades fastest right after you learn it. Without retrieval, last month's words are gone by the trip.
Grammar fades without production
You can read a pattern ten times and still freeze mid-sentence. Rules need production, not recognition.
Generic decks aren't yours
Frequency lists teach words you'll never say. Your reading and conversations are the real syllabus.
From your materials to long-term memory
Decks from your own reading
Drop in an article, a chapter, or your conversation notes. Deck Drafting pulls the words and patterns you actually met into editable cards.
Reviews that outlast motivation
Spaced repetition resurfaces each word right before it fades, so a busy month doesn't erase a year of progress.
Produce the word, don't spot it
Quizzes ask you to retrieve the Spanish, not nod at it. That effort moves words into long-term memory.
Practice anywhere
Offline study on iOS and Android, including the plane ride over.
