Getting started

From sign-up to your first card in a couple of minutes

No word lists to hunt for, no cards to make, no review schedule to plan – the app takes care of all that.

Answer a couple of questions

Tell us your language, your level, what you're learning for, and the topics you care about. It takes under a minute.

Done for you 2

You get 300 ready cards

From your answers the app picks words for your level and goals and groups them into sets, one for each topic you chose.

Straight to the words

After setup you land on a card, not on an empty dashboard. Your first session has as many words as you chose per day: 10, 20, or 30.

The next day

Your dashboard has one main button. It opens a session where new words come together with the ones that are due for review, so you never have to decide what to study today.

Behind the calm pace is spaced repetition: each review lands just as the memory starts to fade, so words settle into your active vocabulary.

Reviews

What people write after learning with us

4.6

from 10 learner reviews

“I had a problem with learning words: I could remember them during practice, but later I could not use them when I wanted to speak. MyLinguaCards helped me review them again and again, and now the words come to my head much faster.”

Tyler 5/11/2026

“I started using MyLinguaCards to keep my mind active, and it’s been a simple way to do that without feeling too hard or stressful. I like that I can do a little every day, and it really feels like it helps me stay sharp.”

Robert H. 4/21/2026

“I used to spend time learning words but still freeze when I wanted to say something. This helped me remember the words better, so speaking started to feel a lot easier.”

Ryan T. 4/16/2026

“I was hoping this would feel a little more fun and motivating, but it wasn’t really what I expected. It still helped me review words, but I didn’t stay as into it as I thought I would.”

Jason M. 4/7/2026

“I often stopped learning English after a few days because many apps felt boring and did not make me want to come back. This one helped me study more often and remember new words better, but I still think it needs a little more motivation.”

Carlos 3/3/2026

“I moved to the U.S. recently, and it was really frustrating when I knew some English but still couldn’t say what I wanted. This helped me learn the words I actually need, and now speaking feels a lot less stressful.”

Maria 2/28/2026

“I kept forgetting words I’d just studied, so I gave MyLinguaCards a try. After a couple weeks, I was remembering a lot more and not second-guessing myself as much. The audio and spaced reviews helped more than I expected. I just wish some words had a bit more practice around them, but overall it’s been really solid.”

Chris D. 2/17/2026

“Tôi là sinh viên và dùng My Lingua Cards để học tiếng Anh. Mỗi ngày tôi mở thẻ trên điện thoại, nghe và lặp lại từ. Học không lâu nhưng tôi thấy nhớ từ vựng dễ hơn trước.”

Minh 11/17/2025

“Uso My Lingua Cards para aprender inglés. Me gusta porque veo la palabra, la escucho y la repito. Lo abro en el móvil cuando tengo un rato libre y así voy recordando más palabras cada día.”

Diego 9/8/2025

“Soy ama de casa y uso My Lingua Cards para mejorar mi inglés. Estudio un poco mientras cocino o cuando los niños duermen. Las tarjetas son claras, con audio, y así voy aprendiendo palabras sin cursos caros.”
