Mnemonics for the words you actually need.
Drop in a word pair. mnemorai builds the cue, image, audio, and review rhythm, then keeps that card circulating until recall feels automatic.

What the cards actually include
Less “AI magic,” more concrete study material you can come back to every day.
Card anatomy
Cue, image, IPA, audio
Every upgraded card gets a keyword hook, a short story, matching art, pronunciation audio, and IPA. You review one object, not five separate tools.

Scheduling
FSRS under the hood
Review intervals adapt to how you answer. Hard cards return sooner, easy ones back off, and the queue stays compact.
Coverage
120+ language combinations
Choose your base language and your target language. The mnemonic stays anchored in the language you already think in.
Recall modes
Recognition and spelling
Tap when you want lighter reps. Type when you need friction. Forward and reverse recall are tracked separately.
Why it works
Not just prettier flashcards. A stronger memory loop.
The method combines three different levers from learning science: vivid mediators for first encoding, effortful retrieval during review, and spaced scheduling for long-term retention.
Mnemonic encoding
A memorable mediator makes the first pass stick harder
In a classic Russian vocabulary experiment, an imagery-based keyword method outperformed a control approach on both the immediate test and a long-delay test. That is the logic behind pairing the word with a concrete image and hook instead of just showing a plain translation.

Recall and timing
Retrieval practice plus spacing does the long-term work
The durable part is the cycle after the mnemonic: attempt the answer, get feedback, and revisit it at a useful interval.
Retrieval practice
Effortful recall beats passive restudy.

Selected sources
This section is built from keyword-method experiments, spacing meta-analyses, long-horizon language-retention work, and modern scheduler optimization papers. Image cues are strongest for concrete vocabulary, but retrieval and spacing stay central across the full system.

From raw words to a daily review rhythm
The workflow is simple on purpose: capture the vocabulary, generate a concrete memory hook, then let the review queue do its job.
Add your words
Create a deck, pick your languages, and add the words you want to learn. Drop in a keyword hint if you have one.
AI builds the cards
Each word gets a mnemonic story, a generated image, audio pronunciation, and IPA transcription. One credit per card.
Show up daily
Spaced repetition handles the scheduling. You just review what's due.
