Learn Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Russian fast. Built for the trip, the move, the exam, or the partner's family that just gave you a real deadline to speak. Verbamor requires a paid auto-renewing subscription. A 7-day free trial is available on the annual plan. Verbamor is a memory system for serious learners. Spaced repetition is proven science, and Verbamor makes it work in the open. You can see exactly what you're keeping, watch it hold, and know what you'd still remember in 30, 60, and 90 days if you stopped today. The rigor runs for you, and the app shows you it's working. Then there's the part that usually turns into a second job. You record a real lesson, paste in something you're reading, or translate a phrase, and Verbamor builds the deck for you: an image on every card, native audio, and a review schedule that tunes itself to your memory. The words come back the moment you need to say them out loud. What you get: - Record a lesson, get a deck built for you automatically - Science-based spaced repetition that schedules each review for the moment you're about to forget - Native audio on every card - A clear image on every card - Offline review, so your commute counts - Retention and progress you can actually see This is the method done right with none of the labor. Manual flashcard apps hand you every card to build and every setting to tune yourself. Verbamor does that work for you and keeps the proof on screen, so the rigor stays legible and your time stays yours. Why it costs more than a free app: Verbamor does the work a manual flashcard app hands to you. Every card is built for you with audio and an image, the schedule tunes itself, and the app shows you what you're keeping. You pay for the hours you don't spend building cards, and for a deck made of your own words instead of a stranger's. Verbamor requires a subscription. The annual plan, Native, starts with a 7-day free trial. Your 650-card Essentials deck is ready the moment you subscribe, along with unlimited new cards, decks built from lessons you record, speaking practice, and the full review engine. We remind you before the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime. Prefer month to month? Explorer has you covered. Want it set up with you?
