Macawords

Your first deck is free

Learn the words you actually need.

Type any topic. Macawords writes a vocabulary deck for it at your level, in the language you’re learning, and helps you remember every word.

For example: street food in Mexico City, job interview, watching football with friends.

The Mexico City Street Food deck: 12 Spanish words at Beginner level, starting with el taco, la quesadilla and el elote, with articles colour-coded by gender.
How it works

Three steps. Zero flashcard-making.

You bring the topic. Macawroni brings the words, checks them, and makes sure they stick.

  1. Type any topic

    “Street food in Mexico City.” “Job interview.” “Watching football with friends.” Every deck is written for your level: Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced.

    The Macawords home screen with “Street food in Mexico City” typed into the box that asks “What do you want to talk about?”.

  2. Get a proofread deck

    AI writes 6–20 words at your level. A second AI pass checks the spelling, accents, articles, gender and examples before you see a thing.

  3. Remember them

    Spaced-repetition flashcards, graded Again, Good or Easy. Quick quizzes. A daily streak. Words read aloud.

What’s in a word

Everything a word needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Every word arrives ready to learn: what it means, how to say it, how to use it, and which article it wears.

  1. Article and gender

    Colour-coded: blue masculine, coral feminine, green neuter.

  2. Translation

    In your own language, right under the word.

  3. Part of speech

    Noun, verb, adjective… so you know how to use it.

  4. Pronunciation aid

    A respelling, kana for Japanese or pinyin for Mandarin. Or audio only, where letters would mislead.

  5. A natural example

    A real sentence that uses the word, with its translation.

  6. A usage tip

    Often a short note, the kind a local friend would tell you.

  7. Report a mistake

    On every word, in case the AI slipped.

Written, then proofread

A second AI pass checks every deck before you see it. Spot something off anyway? Tap Report a mistake.

Gender, colour-coded

Articles and grammatical gender come with every noun, so they’re learned together.

  • el · le · dermasculine
  • la · la · diefeminine
  • das · τοneuter

Pronunciation that doesn’t fib

  • la quesadilla≈ lah keh-sah-DEE-yah
  • 券売機けんばいき
  • Mandarinpinyin
  • Where letters mislead audio only

Where a respelling would mislead, Macawords doesn’t write one. You hear the word instead.
