Start free with the 250 most essential words. No daily limits, no card required.
LEARN THE WORDS THAT MATTER MOST
Whether you're learning Spanish, German, or French, Sapling focuses on the 1,000 most common words in each language — vocabulary that makes up over 80% of everyday conversation. Master these and you'll understand the vast majority of what you hear and read in the real world.
LEARN SMARTER, NOT HARDER
Sapling's spaced repetition system brings each word back just before you're about to forget it — so you study less and remember more than traditional flashcards. Practice as much as you like, every day, free.
EXERCISES THAT GROW WITH YOU
Every word follows a path from first glimpse to confident recall:
• Context — meet a new word inside a real sentence
• Word Match — confirm the meaning at a glance
• Fill the Blank — cloze exercises with a gentle hint
• Context Clue — cloze from context alone, no hints needed
• Recall — type the full word from memory
• Speak — say it aloud and get instant pronunciation feedback
WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE TAKE ROOT
Every word you learn grows your sapling — from bare pot to full bloom. No guilt, no streaks lost forever. Just steady, visible growth.
