Hi! We’re Speakada.
We help language learners get fluent faster through effective Anki language learning flashcards.
About Speakada
Speakada was created to make the process of learning a second language faster and more effective. From our own experience and based on scientific research, we've developed Anki language learning flashcards that tackle the basics and foundations of a foreign language.
For those who are curious, the name "Speakada" comes from our mission to help you SPEAK a foreign language with Anki Decks and Advice. The name also takes a playful nod to those moments when we’ve all struggled to "speakada" fluently in another language.
Now, having crafted thousands of flashcards for over 8 languages, our journey continues. Driven by a passion for languages and effective flashcard creation, we share our decks and our lessons to help fellow learners achieve fluency faster.
The Method to Learn the Core Language
Learn in 3 steps with our flashcards and get to B2 level fluency.
Step 1. Pronunciation

These 5 principles support your language learning journey so you can get fluent faster.
1) Pronunciation: The Value of Sounds
Learning pronunciation is important so that you can understand native speakers, and they can understand you better. Mastering it early on avoids bad habits.
2) Vocabulary: The Value of Words
Learn vocabulary by word frequency because it is better than learning random words. When you master more common words, the more fluent you become.
3) Grammar: Meaningful Sentences
Learn the most frequently used grammar with Spaced Repetition so you memorize examples quickly without getting bogged down with boring drills.
4) Spaced Repetition & Anki
Anki makes us superhuman by overcoming the forgetting curve. We advocate for SRS to maximize long-term retention.
5) Practical Self-Study
Take control of your language learning. Our Speakada Method takes you step-by-step from absolute beginner to fluency.

Scientific research showing the effectiveness of Anki language learning.
Long-term vocabulary retention after 1 month
Based on Ebbinghaus forgetting curve research and SRS effectiveness studies.
"The results showed a positive relationship between days studying with Anki and Spanish performance at the end of the semester even while controlling for baseline abilities."

"Statistically significant relationships were found between total SRS repetitions and TOEIC listening and overall score gains."
— Bower & Rutson-Griffiths (2016). Computer Assisted Language Learning.
"Explicit vocabulary learning helps learners to gain greater amount of vocabulary in a short period of time in addition to a better chance of retention."
— Altiner, C. (2011). Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
"The results show that pupils who study a greater number of Anki cards will achieve a higher overall score in language tests."
