Skip grammar. Learn new lingo with vocab-only and get to literacy 50% faster. 🧠 The Science: 1) Semantic priming: With just vocabs, you can understand 80% of reading content. 2) Emergent grammar: With just vocabs, you can express yourself enough. (e.g. “Yesterday + anime + best, + me + cry”) 🔄 Unique learning cycle: 1) Discover words in custom AI articles or YouTube/Netflix shows. 2) Memorize via smart SRS flashcards. 3) Pass quizzes. 4) Drop word blocks into AI sandbox to express thoughts.

Hey Hunters! 👋
I’m the maker of Osmomo. I built this app because I hit an unnecessary wall trying to learn a language with existing apps. I spent months memorizing complex grammar and proper structures, only to realize I still couldn’t communicate. Why? Because I didn’t have enough raw vocabulary. 😢
So, I looked into the data and the cognitive science of Second Language Acquisition and flipped the script with a radical but scientific approach 🧪:
What if we completely bypassed grammar to focus entirely on vocabulary velocity? 🤩
Osmomo is built for (myself initially!) language learners who want to speedrun to literacy. Instead of forcing you through a academic curriculum, the app lets you ingest vocabulary directly from things you actually want to watch and read—like custom AI articles or your favorite YouTube and Netflix shows. 📺 📖
Here is how the system works:
⚡ Auto-Ingestion: Once you lock onto words from your favorite media, our smart spaced-repetition (SRS) flashcards automatically help you memorize them alongside rapid quizzes.
🤖 The AI Sandbox: Forget syntax. You just drop your raw, broken word blocks into our sandbox, and the engine transforms your chaotic thoughts into beautiful native expressions. It lets you communicate from day one—which drastically accelerates long-term memory.
🧠 Lexical Similarity: We prioritize words with lexical overlap—meaning words similar to your native language are taught first to build your vocabulary bank at lightning speed.
We are launching with Japanese first, but the framework is built to scale horizontally to any language! 🌍
We are live today and completely open for feedback. I’d love to know:
- What do you think of this radical vocab-only approach? 🤔
- What have been your biggest struggles when trying to learn a new language? 😫
- What languages do you want us to expand to next? 🚀
I’ll be hanging out here in the comments all day to answer your questions and chat features. Let me know what you think!

The vocab-only approach actually clicked for me after a few rounds in the sandbox, weird how stringing word blocks together feels like solving a puzzle. Articles were a nice touch for picking up lingo in context.

@abdulsametljl2 That 'puzzle-solving' feeling is exactly the sweet spot I was aiming for! 🧩
When you treat words like physical blocks instead of trying to mentally compute different grammar rules before you speak, it lowers the cognitive friction entirely. Your brain shifts from stressing over syntax to focusing purely on expressing the concept. 😊
Really glad the contextual articles are hitting the mark too. Are you learning Japanese? Or what language are you wishing to learn?
