Effective Memory Techniques for Language Learning with Flashcards
Turn lesson notes into flashcards instantly Screenshots, typed notes, vocab lists, examples — Flashrecall converts everything into flashcards automatically
How Flashrecall app helps you remember faster. It's free
A lot of people try Preply because they want a real tutor to help them speak a language better. And yes — having a live tutor is super helpful. But here’s the real problem most learners face: you forget most of the vocabulary and grammar between lessons.
It’s not that the lessons aren’t good. It’s that your brain can’t store new words unless you review them consistently in the days after the lesson. And with Preply, once the class ends, the memory fades unless you have a system to keep it alive.
Here’s what actually helps language learners progress faster:
1. Review new words within 24 hours
This one thing makes a huge difference.
2. Practice active recall, not just recognition
Try to remember the word before checking the answer.
3. Repeat difficult words more often
Your brain needs a few extra exposures.
4. Turn phrases into small practice prompts
Short questions help the words stick much better.
Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :
The tutor can teach you, correct you, and guide you — but no tutor can manage your memory for you. You need a lightweight system that supports your lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the fastest way to create flashcards?
Manually typing cards works but takes time. Many students now use AI generators that turn notes into flashcards instantly. Flashrecall does this automatically from text, images, or PDFs.
Is there a free flashcard app?
Yes. Flashrecall is free and lets you create flashcards from images, text, prompts, audio, PDFs, and YouTube videos.
How do I start spaced repetition?
You can manually schedule your reviews, but most people use apps that automate this. Flashrecall uses built-in spaced repetition so you review cards at the perfect time.
What is active recall and how does it work?
Active recall is the process of actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing it. Flashrecall forces proper active recall by making you think before revealing answers, then uses spaced repetition to optimize your review schedule.
What's the best way to learn a new language?
Research shows that combining flashcards with spaced repetition and active recall is highly effective. Flashrecall automates this process, generating cards from your study materials and scheduling reviews at optimal intervals.
