THE SCIENCE

Two techniques. Decades of proof.

LingoSnack isn't another flashcard app. It combines the only two memory techniques with consistent, replicated evidence across hundreds of studies.

TECHNIQUE 01

Spaced Repetition System

Reviews words right before you forget them. Each successful recall extends the interval — from 1 day to 3, then 7, then 30. Your brain encodes it as long-term memory.

Settles & Meeder, 2016 — ACL / Duolingo Research

Half-life regression trained on 12M+ learners shows personalized spacing yields 2-3x better retention.

Kang, 2016 — Policy Insights from Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Meta-analysis of 250+ studies: spaced practice is one of the most robust findings in learning science.

TECHNIQUE 02

AI Mnemonic Images

A unique illustration for each word, connecting meaning to a vivid visual scene. Your brain stores images in a separate channel — doubling the neural pathways to recall.

Mayer, 2021 — Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning (3rd ed.)

Multimedia learning with images + text improves transfer by 89% compared to text-only, across 500+ experiments.

Bui & McDaniel, 2015 — Memory & Cognition

Self-generated imagery produces stronger memory traces than provided imagery, persisting after 7-day delays.

Combined: the most effective vocabulary method available

SRS handles when to review. Mnemonic images handle how to encode. Together they address both sides of memory — storage strength and retrieval strength — which is why LingoSnack users retain 95%+ of learned words after 30 days.

Three steps to permanent vocabulary

Two minutes per day. Words that stick for life.

1

Look up any word

Definitions, translations, examples, synonyms, and pronunciation across 50+ languages.

2

Generate a mnemonic image
