You know "hablar." Then a real conversation demands "hablarΓ­amos" β€” and you blank. Mora fixes the part of language learning every flashcard app ignores: grammar has forms, and someone has to build cards for all of them. Now it's not you. Type one verb. Mora generates the full conjugation table β€” every tense, every person β€” with native-speaker audio on every form, dropped into spaced-repetition flashcards that schedule your reviews automatically. WHY LEARNERS SWITCH TO MORA Anki is powerful β€” after hours of deck-building, plugins, and audio hunting. Quizlet is fast β€” and shallow. Verb apps drill conjugations β€” then forget you tomorrow. Mora is the only flashcard system that understands grammar: it builds the cards, voices the cards, and schedules the cards. You just study. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ADD A CARD One verb becomes a complete conjugation table β€” present, past, future, all six persons. Every word, sentence, and verb form gets native audio instantly. Spaced repetition (the same memory science behind Anki) decides exactly when you'll see it again, so it sticks for years, not days. BRING YOUR OLD DECKS WITH YOU Import TXT/CSV from Anki, Quizlet, or spreadsheets. Mora auto-detects your formatting β€” and then does something your old app never did: detects the words and conjugates them. TRAIN ACTIVE RECALL, NOT RECOGNITION Sentence-completion mode turns vocabulary into fill-in-the-blank grammar practice β€” the difference between recognizing a word and actually producing it in conversation. MADE FOR Spanish learners drowning in verb tables. Japanese learners who need audio on everything. Anki users tired of being deck-builders. Anyone who wants the studying without the setup. MORA PRO Unlimited decks, unlimited AI conjugations, unlimited audio. $29.99/year β€” less than one hour with a tutor, for a study system that never forgets what you're about to. Your first conjugation table takes 5 seconds. Try it. Terms and Conditions are available in the app settings and here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Verva

Read the news. Learn the language. Verva helps you learn through reading and listening to real stories, news, and cultural content. Every article comes in intermediate and advanced versions, with audio, so you can work at the right level while learning from real language in context. The core idea is simple: the text is your curriculum. There’s no fixed lesson path and no generic drills. As you read, Verva picks up what challenged you and turns it into personalized support. A confusing phrase, unfamiliar collocation, tricky grammar pattern, or subtle difference in meaning becomes something you can understand, practice, save, and review later. That’s what makes Verva different. Your lessons are built from what you actually needed, not from a preset course. The more you read, the more clearly your gaps appear, and the more precisely Verva can help you close them. Each article also comes with key vocabulary already pulled out for you, including advanced words, useful expressions, and important collocations, all translated and ready for review. You can save them, study them, and turn them into lessons and exercises whenever you need them. Tap any word for translations and grammar details. Long-press phrases to understand them in context. Ask questions about what you’re reading, explore related ideas, and go deeper into the language behind the text. Verva can explain what matters, build practice from your gaps, and bring it back later with spaced repetition. With Verva, you can: β€’ Read and listen to real content at your level β€’ Switch between intermediate and advanced versions of every article β€’ Review key vocabulary from each article, including expressions and collocations β€’ Get translations, grammar, and deeper explanations in context β€’ Turn the words and patterns you struggled with into personalized exercises β€’ Save useful vocabulary and revisit it with spaced repetition β€’ Learn beyond the text, including related grammar, nuance, and adjacent topics Verva is free to use for reading and listening. Verva Max is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited AI questions, unlimited exercise generation, smart feedback on your answers, and personalised vocabulary review. Verva is for learners who are past the beginner stage and want real comprehension, not just points and notifications. If you know the basics and want the language to start feeling natural, Verva is built for that. Read real content. Discover your gaps. Learn exactly what you need.
