A rating, not a checkbox
Every word carries a live rating. Recall it and it climbs; blank on it and it drops back into the deck. You never decide what to revise — the rating already knows.
Learn words that actually stick
The words you meet every day become cards — and Verbum brings each one back right before you forget it.
Everything here works toward one thing: recall.
No lesson trees, no cartoon owls, no 40-minute streak grind — just your words and a system that keeps them from fading.
A daily set sized to you
Pick your pace once and Verbum builds a session that fits it — new words mixed with the ones about to slip. Finish it and the day is done, streak intact.
Photograph it, learn it
Point the camera at a menu, a sign or a page of a book. Verbum reads the words, translates them and hands you a ready deck — the vocabulary from your actual day.
What learners say
Ordering in Polish
I moved to Kraków in March and photographed everything — shop signs, the lease, a menu. Six months later I order in Polish without rehearsing the sentence first.

It knows before I do
The rating is the whole thing for me. I stopped deciding what to revise and just trust it to put the shaky words in front of me — which it does, annoyingly well.

Felt like cheating
Scanning a page of a novel and getting the unknown words as a deck felt like cheating. That is the vocabulary I actually needed, not a generic list.

Five honest minutes
What keeps me here is the size of the daily set. It is honestly five minutes, so I do it on the tram instead of promising myself a long session I would skip.

From zero to a deck
Started from the beginner pack with zero words and it never felt like homework. I would still like more example sentences, but the ratings clearly know what I am about to forget.

My first real streak
Three months in and my streak is the only one I have ever kept. Five minutes is short enough that skipping it would be more effort than doing it.
