the heart of the method

Your word becomes an absurd image.

The weirder it is, the better it sticks. You invent the mnemonic, we draw the scene.

A raccoon running off after stealing a whole dinner table
стол
table
a sneaky raccoon tiptoeing away — it just STOLE the whole dinner table
A bratty little brother throwing a tantrum
брат
brother
your BRATty little brother mid-tantrum, tongue out, arms crossed
A guilty cat next to an empty fishbowl
кот
cat
a guilty cat CAUGHT red-pawed next to the empty fishbowl
A giant onion making a whole room cry
лук
onion
one LOOK at this giant onion and the whole room bursts into tears

can you guess before you click? that's what makes your friends laugh.

it's science, not magic

3 solid reasons it works

We borrowed Anki's engine, Duolingo's rhythm, and added what they were missing: your imagination.

You create it, so you remember it.

When the mnemonic comes from you, your brain gets invested. Neuroscientists call it the generation effect. In practice: one word you invented is worth ten words crammed by heart.

Reviewed at the right moment.

The spaced repetition engine shows you the word just before you'd forget it. Like Anki, but without the chore of setting everything up.

The absurd glues to the brain.

A weird, funny or impossible scene stays in memory far longer than a definition. We turn it into a sketchy doodle, to anchor the scene to the image.

stage 3: production

And then, you start to speak.

You no longer just recognize words, you produce them. For every anchored word, short sentences unlock. You fill in the blanks, tell minimal pairs apart, and grammar comes in through usage.

SRS running: words & grammar

“In the morning, I wake up early”

У́тром я просыпа́юсь ра́но
просыпа́ется просыпа́юсь просыпа́ешься

minimal pairs: the right form + look-alike traps. You learn by telling them apart.

the wall of finds

Stuck on a word? Dig in.

Discover other players' mnemonics, grab some inspiration, then make it your own (otherwise the generation effect fizzles out).
