Contexto is a flashcard app where every word appears in fresh, level-matched sentences — never the same one twice — and every review builds a real conversation. So you don't just remember words. You learn to use them. Available for Spanish, German, Italian, and Mandarin Chinese. NEVER SEE THE SAME SENTENCE TWICE In other flashcard apps, you end up memorizing the card, not the word. Contexto generates a new sentence for every review, matched to your level — so what you're recalling is the word, not the flashcard. FLASHCARDS THAT TALK BACK Every review builds toward a real conversation with Contexto. Answer, respond, and watch the dialogue grow — ending with a free-response reply in your own words. Say it wrong, learn to say it right: if your reply misses the mark, Contexto shows you how to say what you meant. YOU DON'T JUST REMEMBER WORDS — YOU LEARN TO USE THEM Mastery comes from recall, comprehension, and construction — not just whether you tapped the right answer. A curriculum of words for every level, with clear progress as you master each unit. EVERY FORM, TRACKED SEPARATELY You know hablar — but do you know hablarías? Contexto tracks your familiarity with each grammatical form on its own, not just the word as a whole. ALSO INCLUDED - Tap any word to translate it - Save any word into your own review packets - Speaking practice with pronunciation feedback
