## What is Poppy Vocab?

Poppy is a word game for learning Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Words fly up as balloons. Pop the right one before it sinks.

That is the whole game, and that is why it works. No grammar lectures. No streaks guilt. Just you, the sky, and hundreds of words that stick.

HOW POPPY TEACHES

Poppy watches how you play. Words you know drift back rarely. Words you miss come back at just the right time, right before you would forget them. This is called spaced repetition, and it is the most proven way to remember vocabulary. Poppy just hides the science behind balloons.

WHAT YOU GET

- Three languages in one app: Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Switch anytime.
- Learn mode: meet new words in small, friendly batches
- Challenge mode: pop as many as you can with 3 hearts. How far can you go?
- Review: a session built from exactly the words your memory is about to lose
- Start from zero: the full Korean alphabet (Hangul) and Japanese kana taught letter by letter, and your first Chinese characters taught one at a time
- Hundreds of real words per language, from everyday nouns to phrases you will actually hear in K-dramas, anime, and C-dramas
- My Balloons: every word you save floats in your own sky. Watch it fill up.

MADE FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY LEARN

Five minutes in a queue is a real study session. Poppy speaks every word out loud, shows romanization and pinyin while you need it, and lets you turn it off when you do not.

Poppy is free to try for one week. After that, one simple annual subscription unlocks everything. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
