MemeWords (玩梗单词) helps Chinese speakers learn English words: each hard word is split into a Chinese sound-alike joke with a drawing, so it sticks without rote memorisation. Swipe right if you remembered, left if not; the algorithm schedules reviews and fades the picture and joke as the word sticks.

Who it’s for

Chinese learners preparing for CET-4, CET-6 or postgraduate entrance exams who find rote learning doesn’t stick.
