About Pookey

Making language learning fun, effective, and accessible for everyone.

Our Mission

At Pookey, we believe learning a new language should be an enjoyable journey, not a chore. Our mission is to make vocabulary acquisition engaging and effective through the perfect blend of science-backed learning methods and gamified experiences.

The Pookey Story

Pookey was born from a simple frustration: traditional language learning apps felt more like homework than fun. We set out to create something different - an app that makes you actually want to practice every day.

By combining spaced repetition algorithms (proven to boost long-term memory) with arcade-style games, we've created a learning experience that's as addictive as your favorite mobile games, but leaves you with real skills.

What Makes Us Different

  • Frequency-First Learning: We prioritize the most commonly used words, so you learn practical vocabulary from day one.
  • 7 Unique Mini-Games: From Word Match to Character Drawing, variety keeps learning fresh and engaging.
  • Language-Specific Features: Special games for Chinese character practice, Russian case declensions, and verb conjugation drills.
  • Rewarding Experience: XP rewards, streaks, and satisfying feedback keep you motivated and coming back.

We currently support six of the world's most widely spoken languages:

Each language features 1000+ carefully curated vocabulary words, native speaker pronunciation, and tailored learning experiences.
