How Frigya works: the Discover and Learn approach, screen by screen

Most vocabulary apps either keep showing you new words or keep drilling old ones. Frigya separates the two on purpose and connects them: you meet words first (Discover), then make them stick (Learn). This walkthrough follows the real screens of the app.

The home screen

When you open Frigya you see two large cards: Discover and Learn. The Discover card shows how many new words are waiting today and how many you have discovered. If Learn is locked, its card tells you how many more words to discover first. Below are today’s progress, your streak and totals (discovered, learned, already known and total study time).

If you started without an account, a note at the top reminds you to create one so you do not lose your progress.

Discover: meeting new words

Words come from the language and levels you chose. Each word arrives as a question; sometimes the word is asked directly, sometimes you pick the word that fits the blank in a sentence. Wrong options are drawn at random from a large pool at the same level.

• If you get a word right on the first try it is marked as already known.
• If not, you see the correct meaning and an example sentence, and the word counts as discovered.
• A session lasts as many words as your daily goal.

At the end you get a summary: questions answered, correct and wrong, new words discovered, words you already knew and points earned.

Learn: making words stick

Learn asks the words you discovered again using spaced repetition. It opens after your first few discovered words and runs until the review pool is finished or you stop. The question card shows the word type and level (for example, noun, A1), and words you have seen before arrive with a Review label.

After each answer you see the correct meaning and an example sentence in both languages. To understand the idea behind the schedule, read what is spaced repetition.

Daily goal and levels

For each language you set two things:

• Daily goal: 5, 10, 20, 40 or 50 words.
• Levels: any of A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

You can change them whenever you like and exceed your goal. For help choosing, see how many words a day.

Progress and the word list

The progress screen has three tabs: Discovered, Learned and Known. You see your score and how many words are due for review today. The word list shows the words you have discovered, each with an audio icon, plus a Play All button.

The goal history screen shows your current streak, longest streak, how many of the last 30 days you exceeded your goal and a daily breakdown.

More than one language

You can pick one or several languages other than your own. The language selection screen shows options as checkable tiles, and a menu at the top of the home screen switches between them. Removing a language does not delete your progress. See the languages page.

Audio, themes and personalisation

• Audio: listen to words and example sentences, switch on automatic question audio, and optionally have the answer options read aloud.
• Theme: Light, Dark or System.
• Home screen: its sections (widgets) can be customised.

Accounts and privacy

The app opens without an account. On Android you can sign in with Google to keep your progress across devices. You can delete your account inside the app; see account and data deletion. There is no ad tracking.

Limits, honestly

Frigya focuses on vocabulary. It does not replace speaking, listening or grammar practice, and multiple choice strengthens recognition more than production, so writing or saying your own sentences is still worth doing (more in our methods guide).

Get started

Download Frigya and start as a guest. Choose a small daily goal, and stick to it for a week before changing anything.

After your first session: what to expect

After your first Discover session you see the summary screen. It is more than a celebration; it gives useful information: how many questions you answered, how many were right and wrong, how many new words you discovered, how many you already knew and the points you earned in the session.

In the first days, we suggest watching:

• The “already known” count. If it is very high you can add a higher level; if very low, step down.
• Learn unlocking. After a few discovered words the Learn card becomes active, which means your first review round has arrived.
• Words due today. The progress screen shows this number, so you can predict your daily load.

A closer look at question types

Questions can appear in a couple of forms:

• Direct word question: a word is shown and you pick the right meaning.
• Blank in a sentence: “Which word fits the blank?” You choose the right word from context. This type teaches a word with its usage.

In both, the options are drawn at random from the same level, so memorising the options is not possible. After answering, you see the correct meaning and an example sentence in both languages.

Using several languages and levels

If you add several languages, you can set a separate goal and level for each. A practical approach:

• Pick a “main” language and give it more time.
• Give a second language a small goal (say 5 words a day).
• Study languages at different times. Mixing them in one session can cause confusion.

You can change goals and levels at any time, and your progress is not deleted.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection to use Frigya? We give no firm information on this site; check the app’s store page and the app itself.

What shows in the word list? The words you discovered and their meanings; each has an audio icon, and Play All lets you listen to everything.

What happens if I exceed my goal? Think of the goal as a lower bound; you can do more if you wish.

Summary

• Discover is for meeting words; Learn is for making them stick.
• You set a daily goal and levels per language.
• Progress and streak are visible at a glance.
• Frigya is a vocabulary routine, not a full course.
