Where a word comes from
Nobody ever learned a word from a list.
You met it in a film, in a message, in a shop. It arrived inside a sentence, doing a job, with a person behind it — and that is the half a dictionary throws away. Memoxia keeps the sentence.
01
Bring the line, not the word.
Paste the sentence you heard. The tutor reads the phrase inside it rather than the word on its own.
02
Get the half that is missing.
What the phrase does to the person hearing it, which other phrase it is not standing in for, and when it would be the wrong thing to say.
03
Keep it where you found it.
The word is saved with your own sentence attached, so the memory has something to hang on.
The tutor
Ask it the question you actually have.
Not what does this mean. What did she mean by it, and why that phrase and not the other one. The tutor answers in the language you already think in, and keeps the word with one tap.
My neighbour says “no pasa nada” every time I apologize.
no pasa nada waves the apology away — nothing happened, nothing to forgive. It answers sorry, not thank you.
Saved to your librarySpanish
Prepared for you
Translation, pronunciation, examples and usage notes arrive with the word.
A picture per word
Memoxia draws one, in a single illustrated hand, so a word has a face before you ever revise it.
Your own language
The explanation is written in the language you think in, not the one you are learning.
What it needs
The tutor needs an account and a connection. Browsing the packs and trying the practice needs neither.
Your library
Every word with a picture drawn for it.
As a word is prepared, Memoxia draws it — one illustrated hand across the whole library, so a page of your vocabulary is something worth opening rather than a column of glosses.

Practice
Lit again, a little further apart each time.
A word you met yesterday comes back today. One you have held for a month comes back in two. Memoxia picks the gap and keeps the sitting short.
Six ways of being asked
A sitting mixes them, so the same word is never met the same way twice and the shape of a card is never the thing you learn.
RecallThe word on its own, and whether the meaning comes back.
ChoiceFour meanings, one of them the one you met.
TypedWritten out, which is the slowest and the one that holds.
ClozeYour own sentence, with the word taken out of it.
ProductionA situation, and the phrase you would use in it.
SoundHeard rather than read, because that is how you met it.
You asked for this at the end of a meal in Seville. What were you asking for?
la cuenta
/la ˈkwen.ta/
One card from a real sitting. The card still waiting for an answer stands a step above the rest, and drops back the moment it is answered.
The schedule
What the gap is actually buying.
The same word, over its first four months: carried by Memoxia's schedule, and left alone after the first sitting. Both lines are the app's own scheduler, sampled every few hours.
One word's first four months
Plotted by the app's scheduler, not drawn by hand.
- Reviewed on Memoxia's schedule
- The same word, never reviewed again

Before you install it
What this is, and what it is not.
The questions worth answering before you spend an evening on something.
- Is this another flashcard app?
- It has cards in it, the way a notebook has lines in it. What matters is what happens before a card exists: you bring a sentence you actually met, and the tutor explains the phrase inside it. A deck somebody else wrote is not a memory.
- Do I need an account?
- Not to look. You can browse every pack, open the words inside them and try the practice without signing in. The tutor and your own saved words need an account, because they are yours and they have to live somewhere.
- Does it work without a connection?
- The tutor does not. It is a conversation with a model, and that happens over the network.
- Which languages can I learn?
- English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese — and the app's own interface speaks nine as well, so the explanations arrive in yours.
- Who draws the pictures?
- They are generated to one written brief and checked against it: picture-book illustration, one or two people in an everyday moment, one light, one ground. The brief exists so that a page of fifty reads as one illustrator's series rather than fifty styles.
- What does it cost?
- It is free to install and free to try. The tutor has a daily allowance, and the app shows you what is left of it rather than stopping you without warning.
- Is there an Android version?
- The Android build is in testing and its Play listing opens shortly. The iPhone and iPad app is in the App Store now.
Start with the word you heard yesterday.
Open it, paste the line you heard, and read what the tutor says about the phrase inside it. That is the whole of the first minute.
