How to study a foreign language
A language class gives you three jobs: vocabulary, grammar and getting used to hearing the language. Memo helps with all three, because it writes the study material in the language your material is in: a German text gives you German notes, German cards and a German podcast.

Why it is hard to learn
- Large vocabulary lists
- Grammar rules with exceptions
- Understanding the spoken language
- Tests that mix all three
A study plan that works
Upload the textbook unit
Photograph the unit or upload the handout. Memo's notes and cards come out in the language of the material.
Learn the vocabulary every day
Short daily rounds of flashcards work far better for vocabulary than one long evening.
Understand the grammar
Read the notes on the grammar points, then ask the chat on the note for more examples.
Listen
The podcast on the note talks your material through in the language itself: good listening practice on the way to school.

Questions
Does Memo translate my material?
No. It writes the study material in the language the material is in, which is what you want when you are learning that language.
Is it good for vocabulary lists?
Yes. Photograph the list or upload it, and the flashcards drill it in short rounds until you know every word.
