Ask about a word · AI tutor · Free to start

Stuck on a word? Ask it a question.

A translation tells you what a word means. It does not tell you why it takes no article here, when natives use it, or how to stop mixing it up with its neighbour. Ask — on the card, while you study.

Ask about your first word — free What you can ask ↓

repeat.cards lets you ask about any word on your cards. One tap gives three memory hooks to choose from: one from the word’s roots, one from its sound, one a small picture story. Or open a chat about the card and ask why, when and how the word is used. The conversation stays with the card.

Try it on a word that will not stick

Three memory hooks, and you pick one

Some words refuse to stay. A mnemonic gives them something to hang on, but a single suggestion is a coin toss: the hook that works for one person means nothing to the next. So repeat.cards offers three, each built a different way:

Roots. A cognate or a related word you already know, with the connection explained.
Sound. Something in your own language that sounds like the word, tied to its meaning.
A picture story. A short, vivid scene that links how the word sounds to what it means.

They are written in the language you learn from. Keep the one that clicks and it is saved to the card, one tap away in the deck list and during training. None of them works? Ask for three new ones.

Ask AI about la casa: why it is en casa and not en la casa, and when to say a casa

A chat that knows the card

Every card has its own conversation. The chat already knows what is on the card — the word, the translation, the deck, the example sentence, the plural, the verb forms, the mnemonic and your own fields — so you ask the question and skip the explaining. It answers in the language you asked in, keeps answers short, and gives example sentences with a translation when they help.

Grammar

For example: Why is it en casa and not en la casa?

When to use it

For example: When would I say a casa instead?

Near neighbours

For example: How is esperar different from aguardar?

For example: Would I say this to my boss, or only to friends?

Common mistakes

For example: What do learners usually get wrong with this verb?

Checking the card

For example: Is the plural on this card right?

Questions you can ask about a card, with examples
Kind of question	For example
Grammar	Why is it en casa and not en la casa?
When to use it	When would I say a casa instead?
Near neighbours	How is esperar different from aguardar?
Register	Would I say this to my boss, or only to friends?
Common mistakes	What do learners usually get wrong with this verb?
Checking the card	Is the plural on this card right?

You can open the chat from a card in the deck list, in the middle of a training session, or in the card editor before the card is even saved — in which case the conversation moves to the card when you save it. It is told to say when it is not sure rather than make something up, and to tell you when the card’s own data looks wrong.

Why ask on the card and not in a separate chatbot?

Because the answer stays where you will need it. A question asked in another app is gone by the next review; here it is saved with the word, so the next time the card comes up the explanation is one tap away. And because the chat sees the card, it answers about this word in this deck, not a general version of it.

Mnemonics and chat answers use AI and run on coins, like the rest of the AI features. Every account starts with some for free. Prices are on the pricing page.

Asking about a word FAQ

Which language does the chat answer in?

The language you ask in. Ask in English and the answer is in English; ask in Russian and it is in Russian, whatever languages the card itself is in. Example sentences come in the language you are learning, with a translation.

Is the conversation saved?

Yes. There is one conversation per card, kept with the card, so you can come back to it from the deck list or during training. The most recent messages are sent along with each new question, so the chat remembers what you already asked.

Can I ask about a word before I save the card?

Yes. The chat is open in the card editor while you are still writing the card, and the conversation moves to the card once you save it.

What are the three mnemonics based on?

One on the word's roots or a related word you already know, one on how the word sounds, and one on a short visual story linking the sound to the meaning. They are written in the language you learn from. Keep the one that works for you, or ask for three new ones.

Does asking cost anything?

Mnemonics and chat answers use AI, which runs on coins. Every account starts with some for free, and more come in one-off packs, or you can use your own OpenAI or Google key.

Can the AI be wrong?

It can, which is why it is told to say when it is not certain rather than invent an answer, and to point out when the card's own data looks wrong. For anything that matters, treat an answer as a well-informed first opinion.

Every word comes with its own tutor.

Make a deck, add the words you are learning, and ask about any of them. Free to start, no credit card, no API key.
