How it works
Here's what one swipe does.
01
Swipe
A few seconds of a real film: Buenos Aires, Madrid, Mexico City. Swipe up for the next one.
02
Tap
Don't know a word? Tap it. The translation shows up right there, and the word is saved for later.
03
Oh!
Every word comes with a short note that makes it click. Padre means father. In Mexico, ¡qué padre! means “how cool!”.
04
Again
The same word turns up in other clips, so you see how people really use it.
05
Say it
Then you say the line out loud, which helps it stick.
06
Tomorrow
Spaced repetition brings the word back right before you'd forget it, in a clip you haven't seen yet.
Pick your Spanish
Swipe right on an accent.
Castilian, Mexican or Rioplatense. MemFlix tunes your clips, your words and even your grammar to the one you pick. Play a voice note, then decide.
Drag the card, or use the buttons. You can change your mind in the app any time.
Mexican Mexico City
Says sale padre ¿mande?
Into: putting -ito on everything (cafecito, ahorita) and being extremely polite.
Castilian Madrid
Says vale guay tío
Into: saying z like “th”, vosotros, and dinner at ten in the evening.
It's a match!
You and Mexican Spanish.
MemFlix will lean your clips, words and grammar that way. Change it whenever you like.

Every word comes with a story.
Tap a word in MemFlix and you get the bit that makes it click. Tap a bubble:
This is awesome. I gave it a 10 minute test and I'm hooked. This complements my Anki practice.
All of the learning. None of the homework.
- 5, 10 or 20new words a day. Your call.
- From zeroA quick level test with real clips finds your level.
- 100,000+ clipsThe words repeat. The clips don't.
- Tap grammar tooNot just words. Tap a verb ending and find out what it's doing there.
- Three accentsCastilian, Mexican or Rioplatense.
- Spaced repetition, built inEvery word you tap comes back right before you'd forget it. No decks to build, no cards to make.
The boring science underneath: spaced repetition (Cepeda et al., 2006), recalling instead of rereading (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006) and saying words out loud (MacLeod et al., 2010).

Hi! I'm Geert, I made MemFlix.
I wanted flashcards that feel like watching something, not like homework.
