Increase French Vocabulary Faster
With a New Type of Flashcard
Vocaber is a minimalist vocabulary improvement app for advanced beginners and intermediate French learners. It is inspired by Stephen Krashen's theory of language acquisition and designed for efficiency and simplicity.
You tap on the words you don't know, and we handle the rest.
Coming soon for iOS and Android!
“Extremely underrated app. Here is finally a foreign language vocab app that brings something original to the table. It's like the process of reading with the efficiency of flashcards. If you're the type of person who acquires vocab through reading and making flashcards but don't enjoy 1,000 anki reviews, this app is perfect for you.” — Chris
App Features
Everything you need to learn French vocabulary efficiently
Spaced Repetition
Learn words at the optimal intervals for long-term retention. Our algorithm adapts to your learning pace.
Tap to Learn
No "success" or "failure". Simply tap on words you don't know and move on to the next card.
Input Theory
Continuously learn and reinforce through comprehensible input that adapts to your level.
Efficient Investment of Time
Making actual progress with every card. Don't waste your time on the exercises that feel good but don't actually help you learn.
No Gimmicks
Simple and effective exercises without gamification. We don't offer fun, we offer results.
Dynamic Sentences
You don't repeat the same sentence over and over. Sentences are generated based on the words you need to learn.
How is Vocaber Different?
There are plenty of language learning apps that allow you to learn French, a lot of them are free. You can use Duolingo, Babbel, Drops, and many more. So why would you use Vocaber, yet another flashcard app, let alone a paid one? 5 bucks a month is still 5 bucks you could spend elsewhere.
The issue with traditional language learning apps is that they are designed to be addictive, with all the fun, cute exercises that make you feel good. They use gamification to keep you engaged, but this doesn't actually help you learn. They also use repetitive exercises that waste your time on words you already know.
With Vocaber, you learn only what you need. Each word is a flashcard within a flashcard, each sentence is generated based on the words you need to learn. You don't repeat the same sentence over and over, you don't repeat the same word over and over. You continously reinforce what you learned, and you encounter comprehensive input that adapts to your level.
We don't have "match the image", "rearrange words", "select answer" and other exercises that try to make learning into a game. We have only one exercise: "understand the French sentence", and its optional reverse: "translate the English sentence to French". Both are self-assessed - we trust that you are an intelligent person who knows better than us what you know and what you don't.
It might sound overly simple, and people might say that the translation method is outdated in this day and age, but no other exercises provide you with the raw volume of practice that you get just with these two. These are like deadlifts for your brain - complex, compound movements that make you stronger. And at the end of the day, what gets you to the next level is not the number of exercises you do, but the number of words you can understand and produce.
We don't try to trick you into learning, we try to provide you with the tools to do it, and we assume that you already have the motivation to do it.
