How it works

Bridgely is a spaced-repetition language learning application carefully designed to make vocabulary acquisition easier and faster through the innovative use of memory-optimized images.

We design the images to be unique, strange and emotionally charged so that they are as memorable as possible.

For each foreign translation of a word we find the phonetically closest sounding English word to the translation (- which we call it the "Bridge" word)
