About Lanma

Lanma is a clean, ad-free vocabulary learning application designed for self-directed learners and students who build their own word sets. It combines flashcards, multiple-choice quizzes, typing quizzes, a 6-stage spaced repetition system (SRS), and AI-powered chat practice to help users memorize and actively use vocabulary.

Who is Lanma for?

Lanma is for anyone learning a new language or studying vocabulary — from students preparing for language proficiency exams to casual learners expanding their vocabulary. It is especially well-suited for learners who prefer to create and organize their own custom word sets rather than relying on pre-made content.

The most common way people start is from video: learning English from the YouTube videos they already watch.
