How FirePhrase Flashcards Work
FirePhrase helps you learn naturally by combining three powerful techniques:
Instead of individual words, you learn how natives actually speak in meaningful chunks
Multiple senses work together to create stronger, lasting memories
Actually saying phrases builds the automatic responses you need for real conversations
Ready to see how it works? Let's try your first card!
Let's Try It! - Speaking Card
Don't worry - you probably won't know this yet! That's completely normal and actually helps you learn.
Here's what to do:
- Read the English text below
- Try to say it in your target language (even if you're guessing)
- Then click to flip the card and see the answer
Here's the Answer - And Much More!
Every card has the same powerful answer side:
- Audio: Normal and slow speed for pronunciation practice
- Wiktionary links: Click words for detailed definitions
- Learning Insights: AI explanations copied to your clipboard
- Copy text: Click phrases to copy for study
Now You've Learned It - How Easy Was It?
The flashcard system learns from your response to show you cards at the perfect time.
❌ "Again"
Didn't know it? You'll see it again soon for more practice.
⏱️ "Hard"
Took a while to remember? It'll come back in a few days.
✅ "Good"
Got it fairly quickly? Perfect - you'll see it in about a week.
⚡ "Easy"
Knew it instantly? Great - it won't come back for weeks!
Be honest about how well you knew it - this helps the system work perfectly for you.
Three Card Types - All with the Same Answer Side
You'll practice each phrase in three different ways:
🗣️ Speaking Cards
See English, say the target language. Builds your speaking ability.
📖 Reading Cards
See target language text, understand the meaning. Builds comprehension.
🎧 Listening Cards
Hear the audio first, then see everything. Trains your ear.
Let's try the other two types quickly:
Reading Card - Can You Understand This?
Try this Reading Card:
- Look at the target language text below
- Can you figure out what it means?
- Try clicking the covered word to reveal it
- Use "Reveal English" if you need help
Listening Card - Train Your Ear
Try this Listening Card:
- Click the audio to hear the phrase
- Can you understand what's being said?
- Use "Reveal Image" for a visual hint
- Then flip to check your understanding
Test Yourself - Does It Work?
Let's see your progress! Try the same card again:
- Can you say it more confidently than before?
- Did the image help you remember the meaning?
- Does the phrase feel more familiar now?
- Notice how your brain is already building connections!
This is exactly how the spaced repetition system works - each exposure makes the next one easier.
Ready for the Next Level: Stories
You've mastered individual phrases - now it's time for the real challenge: full stories using 80% vocabulary you already know.
Stories must be done in order - each builds on the previous one's vocabulary and complexity
These aren't easy - they're calibrated to push your comprehension just beyond your comfort zone
This is what separates classroom learners from people ready for actual native speaker conversations
Here's what makes the difference: Most learners can handle individual phrases but freeze up when hearing continuous native speech. Our stories bridge that gap - training your brain to pick out familiar words from the rapid flow of real conversation.
The students who consistently work through our story sequences are the ones who report feeling confident in their first real conversations with native speakers.
