Language learning apps

Take a language.
Make it yours.

A dictionary on your phone, spaced-repetition cards and practice games. I’m building a family of apps for daily learning that is less dependent on an internet connection.

Choose a language

MonVocab is available on iOS and Android. Monhanzii is in testing; the other apps are in development.

MonVocab

One approach.
More languages.

The approach below is for the five new apps, starting with Monhanzii. MonVocab combines spaced repetition with streaks, hearts and XP; download pronunciation audio for offline listening.

Learn on your device

Dictionaries, examples, grammar and practice content are stored on your phone for offline use.

Review when it matters

FSRS spaced repetition brings back due cards alongside new vocabulary, at your own pace.

An optional account

Learning does not require sign-in. Internet and an account are used for multi-device sync and Pro management.

Data sources & attribution

Sources are listed separately for each app. CEFR/JLPT levels are estimates; HSK and TOPIK follow published word lists.
