Vocabulary graded by level, from A1 to C2.
A pinch of Kardamone a day,and the words are here to stay.
Kardamone Learn the languages of your European neighbours.
You no longer have to choose between Anki’s spaced repetition and Duolingo’s guided learning.
Try five words
Pick a language: you meet five words, find each one among several answers, then type it. No sign-up needed.
Like Anki
- Spaced repetition: the next day, then 4, 12 and 35 days later.
- Your own cards, written or imported.
- Offline study that syncs once you are back online.
Like Duolingo
- A path by level, after a level test.
- Grammar explained, with its exercises.
- Dialogues to listen to and texts to read.
And more: you learn nouns with their article, conjugate verbs, read how words are pronounced in phonetic script, and you can also create a list from a text, a PDF or a Word file.

Guided
Let us guide you from A1 to C1
Choose a language, then take the level test or start at the beginning. Kardamone takes you step by step, in the order of the course: each step has its words and texts, plus grammar lessons up to C1. Each day you do your reviews first, then move on in your step.

How it works
- 1. Pick a listFrom the catalogue, or make your own by pasting two columns from a spreadsheet.
- 2. Review today’s cardsYou only see the cards due today, never the whole list at once.
- 3. Come back tomorrowCards you get right come back less and less often; cards you miss come back the next day.
Pronunciation you can hear and read
You can listen to every word, and most of them come with a phonetic transcription.
Turn your documents into lists
Upload a text, a PDF or a Word file: Kardamone picks out the words it has cards for, most frequent first, and makes them into a list to study.
On your phone too
Add Kardamone to your phone’s home screen and it opens just like an app.

Frequently asked questions
All questions →- Up to which level can I learn a language?
It depends on the language you learn and on your own: the catalogue and the guided tracks do not go as far for every language. One page gives, for your language, the level each language you can learn reaches.
- Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can browse the catalogue and take the level test (about 5 minutes) without registering. With an account you study the catalogue, follow your progress and can revise offline. No invitation is needed.
- Can I bring my cards from another app?
Yes. Export your cards from Anki ("Notes in Plain Text") or Quizlet, or save a CSV file from any spreadsheet, and import it into a list. Kardamone reads commas, semicolons and tabs, and shows you a preview before adding anything. A list holds up to 500 cards. Your cards come across, but not your review history from the other app, so the schedule starts fresh.
- Does it work offline?
Yes. On a list's page, choose "Make available offline" and study without a connection. Your answers sync when you are back online. The learning path is meant for a connection: offline, it offers only the day’s reviews and new words.
