Want to learn Spanish without setting aside a specific time? You turn on your phone dozens of times a day—turn each time into a short review. As soon as the screen lights up, a flashcard with a Spanish word appears: the IPA transcription, the Russian translation, and a sample sentence with the translation. Tap to see the answer and swipe: "I know" or "again."
This app's sole purpose is the lock screen: it displays a flashcard with a Spanish word every time you turn on your phone. All other screens in the app exist solely to customize this learning experience on the lock screen and track its progress.
Here you learn Latin American Spanish—a neutral variety understood from Mexico to Argentina. Seseo: c and z are pronounced like "s," not like the English "th." Yeismo: ll sounds like y. The second person plural is always ustedes, never the Spanish "vosotros." The vocabulary is also Latin American: computadora, carro, celular, jugo, manejar, boleto. One consistent version for all 10,000 words—you're not learning the "average" Spanish that's spoken nowhere.
What's inside:
• 10,000 Spanish words, sorted by actual frequency.
• 6 difficulty levels and an ABC course (beginner level) of 55 flashcards: the Spanish alphabet and sounds to start from scratch—the letter ñ, the digraphs ll, rr, ch, qu, stressed vowels, and stress rules.
• Spaced repetition using the Leitner system: a word comes back exactly when you're ready to forget it.
• Quiz mode with multiple-choice answers: fill in the missing word in the example sentence.
• Synonyms and antonyms right on the flashcard.
• Spanish TTS voiceover: the whole word and sentence.
• Favorites – save words you're having trouble with.
• Search and browse all 10,000 words.
• Daily reminders to stay on track.
• Progress statistics.
Designed with Russian speakers in mind. Pronunciation will be on your side: the five pure Spanish vowels are close to Russian ones, the rolling "rr" comes to you without any practice, and Spanish is pronounced exactly as it's written. There are other, more specific difficulties: the articles "el," "la," "un," and "una," which simply don't exist in Russian; two verbs "ser" and "estar," where in Russian there's only "byt'" (to be); the subjunctive mood; and the lack of cases, which means the meaning rests on word order and prepositions. The translations and examples are written with these points in mind.
The app never bypasses or weakens your device's security: the card appears over the lock screen, and unlocking still requires your PIN, pattern, or fingerprint.
After installation, it works 100% offline: no internet connection, no account, no server, and the developer doesn't collect your data. Your progress remains solely on your device.
