Master a new language — one word at a time. The smartest vocabulary builder is here. Vocabla is a calm, ad-free way to actually build a vocabulary that sticks — in Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, German, or English. Meet each new word inside a real sentence, then let spaced repetition bring it back exactly when you're about to forget it. Ten focused minutes, a real finish line, no streak anxiety. WHY LEARNERS CHOOSE VOCABLA • Real sentences, not bare flashcards — you learn meaning, spelling, and usage at once • Frequency-first — you learn the most useful words before the rare ones (CEFR A1–C2) • Spaced repetition that schedules itself — hard words return sooner, mastered words later • Five exercise types so every word is approached from a new angle • Milestone dialogues — every 20 mastered words unlock a short spoken dialogue • Daily writing practice with thoughtful corrections • Calm by design — no ads, no manufactured urgency, no endless feed HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the language you speak and the one you're learning; take a quick placement. 2. Practise a short, finite session a day. 3. Master words, unlock dialogues, watch your progress fill in. Free to start with daily lessons. An optional upgrade unlocks unlimited practice.

About

Verbavia

Features
Read full description

Verbavia is a language learning app built around the science and pedagogy of language learning. Thus, each of Verbavia's lessons opens with 4, 6, or 8 words depending on which level of comprehensiveness you select. Each daily lesson is designed to be intentionally difficult, but enjoyable, such that even a single daily lesson is more than enough to bring you to full fluency. Verbavia offers 15 different languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Mandarin Chinese, Samoan, Esperanto, Tok Pisin, Fijian, Marshallese, Kiribati, Palauan, Rapa Nui, and Shanghainese, each with an authentic voice. Every lesson is assembled almost entirely from words you have already met. Vocabulary turning up in an exercise before anyone taught it to you is the failure that quietly sinks most language apps, and Verbavia treats it as a defect rather than a quirk. Review of flashcards is handled by spaced repetition, and every card that falls due is shown to you. There is no daily cap, and no quiet deferral of your backlog to keep a streak looking healthy. A word joins your deck the first time you answer it, and its schedule adapts to how well you actually did. Verbavia also runs in your browser at verbavia.com. Sign in on both and your deck, your streak and your place in the syllabus stay in step.
