Vocabulary Flashcards

Smart English Vocabulary Flashcards

Build a vocabulary profile while you study. Mark words as known or learning, explore CEFR levels, pronunciation, examples, preferred-language translations and Deep Dive context, then revisit learning words with spaced review.

Intuitive Swipe Gestures

Swipe right to archive, left to study, and up to skip. Study hundreds of words frictionlessly.

Spaced Repetition System

The algorithm schedules flashcard reviews based on cognitive memory retention curves.

Translation for Understanding

LexUp teaches English vocabulary while letting learners translate English words, definitions and examples into their preferred language.

Active Recall vs. Passive Reading

Scientific studies show that passive reading (rereading lists of words) is one of the least effective ways to learn a language. True learning happens through active recall—forcing your brain to retrieve a word's meaning. LexUp's smart flashcards are designed to trigger active recall every time you study.

From a Swipe to a Personal Vocabulary Profile

Each choice has a purpose. Known words help LexUp understand your current range; learning words enter a focused queue; skipped words can return later. Recommendations become more relevant as the profile develops.

  • No wasted time: Once you swipe right on a word, it's archived, saving you from studying it repeatedly.
  • Interactive Reviews: Words in your study queue are tested with contextual fill-in-the-blank quizzes to ensure you know how to use them, not just define them.
  • Native Audio: Tap to hear clear pronunciations, reinforcing acoustic memory alongside visual definitions.
  • Deep Dive: Explore additional explanations and learning context when a short card is not enough.
  • Context tests: Learning words periodically appear in questions so recognition can become active recall.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do LexUp’s smart flashcards work?

Swipe Right means 'I know this word' to archive it. Swipe Left means 'I want to learn this word' to queue it for spaced repetition reviews. Swipe Up to skip.

Is there a spaced repetition system in LexUp?

Yes. Once a word is marked for learning, the app schedules review sessions at optimized intervals (e.g., 1 day, 3 days, 7 days) to maximize long-term retention.
