Learn Spanish from your lock screen Yippo turns your notifications into a language course. You'll receive Spanish phrases throughout the day, try to recall the translation, then check your answer - all without opening the app. It's spaced repetition that fits into the moments you already have: waiting for coffee, riding the bus, standing in line. HOW IT WORKS 1. Yippo sends you an English phrase as a notification 2. You try to think of the Spanish translation 3. Long-press to reveal the answer and rate yourself 4. Phrases you struggle with come back more often - ones you know fade away That's it. No streaks to maintain. No 20-minute lessons to find time for. Just real phrases, spaced throughout your day. FEATURES • Lock screen learning - review phrases directly from notifications without opening the app • Smart spaced repetition - an algorithm adapts to your memory, surfacing what you need to practice most • Speech practice - tap the mic and say it in Spanish to test your pronunciation • App blocker - optionally lock your social media and other apps until you complete a quick review session • 3 difficulty levels - from "¿Dónde está el baño?" to the subjunctive, with hundreds of real-world phrases • Dialect support - learn Mexican, Castilian, or Argentine Spanish • Customizable frequency - choose 3 to 30 notifications per day, with quiet hours • AI language assistant - get grammar explanations and context for any phrase • Home screen widget - see a phrase at a glance WHO IT'S FOR • Beginners who want to start learning without committing to long lessons • Travelers preparing for a trip to a Spanish-speaking country • Intermediate learners who want to build vocabulary passively throughout the day • Anyone who's tried other apps and couldn't stick with the habit WHY NOTIFICATIONS? Most language apps need you to remember to open them. Yippo comes to you. The phrases arrive at natural breaks in your day, turning dead time into learning time. There's nothing to forget - it's already in your pocket. Start with 3 phrases a day, or crank it up to 30. You decide the pace.
