Problem

Traditional language learning methods, like vocabulary flashcards, are tedious and ineffective.

Lingoti: What & Why?

Lingoti is an app that prints out stickers with textual input translated in the language you want to learn. You can put these labels on their corresponding objects and locations (e.g. the word “lápiz” on a pencil). The advantages of this are:
🧠 Memorization: you associate a phrase with a familiar location and constantly interact with it (repetition), two of the most popular techniques by professional memory athletes.
Time: by incorporating the language into your daily environment and routine, you are unconsciously interacting with it, saving time that would normally be dedicated to studying.
