Flashfriend
Language flashcards that work the way your memory does
Learn Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish or French with flashcards built on memory techniques. Each word gets a picture from a scene you choose, a sound cue, a place you know and its tone or gender as a colour. You're tested on each word just before you'd forget it, and once you know enough words, new ones come in sentences you can already read. Bring your Anki deck with its review history. 14 days free, and reviewing stays free.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jack, and I made Flashfriend.
I built it after struggling to remember Chinese words, and discovering how much mnemonics and other memory techniques help when you build them into your flashcards.
Memory research has known for decades what makes a word stick: a picture, something personal, a place you know, and being tested right before you'd forget. Most flashcard apps only do the last one. Flashfriend does all of them on every card:
🖼️ A picture of what the word means to you. You pick a scene (or write your own) and Flashfriend makes the picture. You can even be in it.
📍 Same sound, same place. Every word that starts with "sh" happens at, say, the shopping centre. Recall the place and the first sound comes back.
🎨 Tones and genders as colour. First-tone Mandarin words are red; la words in Spanish and French are blue.
📚 The most useful word next. It works through the most common words in order, then moves you on to sentences where every word is one you know except the new one, with grammar one pattern at a time.
🔊 Audio on every word and sentence, at full speed or slowly.
If you already use Anki, you can bring your deck with its whole review history and export back any time. Pro adds mining from Yomitan and asbplayer, and lets Claude or ChatGPT quiz you using only words you know.
You can try making a card on the homepage without signing up. There's a 14-day free trial, and the launch price is £1 / $2 a month for the first year. Reviewing your cards stays free even if you cancel.
I'd love to hear what you think, and which language you'd want next. I'll be here all day answering questions.
