Learn a group
Words come in themed groups of ~20. Each group has a linking story and every word has a mnemonic or cognate hook to anchor it in memory.
How it works
Memory-first Spanish, one group at a time.
Looorn combines semantic grouping, vivid mnemonics, and the FSRS spaced-repetition algorithm so you remember what you learn — not just cram and forget.
Your learning flow
Review flashcards
New cards show Spanish → English first. After your first review, they flip to English → Spanish to deepen recall.
Rate your recall
After each card, rate yourself: Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. The FSRS algorithm uses your rating to schedule the optimal next review.
Unlock the next group
A word is "learned" after 2 successful reviews (anything except Again). Once every word in your group is learned, the next group unlocks automatically.
Spaced repetition with FSRS
FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) is a modern, open-source algorithm that adapts to your memory. Instead of fixed intervals, it calculates the optimal review time for each card based on your personal history.
- Again — you forgot. The card comes back soon.
- Hard — you got it, but it was a struggle. Short interval.
- Good — solid recall. Standard interval.
- Easy — instant recall. Longer interval.
When do cards come back?
Intervals adapt to your answers. Here's what a typical card looks like if you keep rating Good:
- First see card — rate Good — back in 10 min
- 10 min later — rate Good — back in ~2 days
- 2 days later — rate Good — back in ~11 days
- 11 days later — rate Good — back in ~1 month
Rating cheat sheet
| Rating | New card | Mature card |
|---|---|---|
| Again | 1 min | 10 min (relearn) |
| Hard | 6 min | Shorter interval |
| Good | 10 min | ~2 days, then grows |
| Easy | 8 days | Longer interval |
Intervals are approximate — FSRS fine-tunes them based on your personal review history.
Streaks
Your streak counts consecutive days where you complete at least one review. Miss a day and it resets to zero. Even a quick 2-minute session keeps it alive.
