Which languages can I study between?

Any pair of the 25 PlayMemorize locales: English, Swedish, French, German, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Indonesian, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian. You set the source and target languages independently, so every direction · including pairs that do not involve English · is available.

What are the three study directions?

Emoji to word shows a picture and asks for the word in your target language. Word to emoji shows a word and asks for the matching picture. Word to word shows a word in your language and asks for its translation. The emoji is a shared, language-neutral anchor, which is why the same deck works for any language pair.

Where do the words come from?

The picture decks reuse the Unicode CLDR emoji-name database · the same authoritative, native-speaker-curated source that ships with every modern operating system · so each word is a real, current term in the target language, not a textbook approximation. Topic and persona decks are authored in English and translated into all 25 languages with a review pass.

How does my progress save?

Your best streak per setup is stored locally in your browser, so a Spanish-from-English run and a Japanese-from-Korean run are tracked separately. Sign in with a free account to sync the same scores across devices.

Is it good for a specific field like travel, business, or medicine?

That is the plan · the picture decks cover everyday vocabulary today, and persona decks (traveller, student, business, medical, and more) are being added so learners can drill the words that matter for their situation. Each deck ships in all 25 languages.

About PlayMemorize Flashcards

PlayMemorize Flashcards is a vocabulary trainer that runs between any two of the 25 site languages. Pick the language you speak and the language you are learning, choose a deck, and drill the words in one of three directions until they stick. One wrong answer ends the streak.

Three study directions. See an emoji and pick the word (emoji to word), see a word and pick the emoji (word to emoji), or see a word in your language and pick its translation (word to word). The emoji acts as a language-neutral pivot, so the same card teaches a Swedish speaker learning Japanese and a Korean speaker learning Spanish · 600 directed language pairs from one dataset.

Themed decks. Start with the picture decks · animals, food and drink, travel and places, activities, objects, people, symbols, and flags · each one fully translated into all 25 languages from the Unicode CLDR emoji-name data, so every word is a real, current term rather than a textbook artefact. Persona and topic decks for travellers, students, business, and medicine follow.

Any pair, your way. The source language defaults to the language you are reading the site in, but you can set both sides freely. Distractors are always drawn from the same deck, so you cannot eliminate by topic · you have to know the specific word. Pick more answer choices as your streak grows to raise the pressure.

Part of the PlayMemorize family of brain-training games. Runs in your browser as a Progressive Web App.
