Three Tongues FAQ

A few quick answers before you play. Three Tongues is a fast language game where you hear the word, spot the language, and choose the meaning.

  • Three Tongues is a fast language game where you hear a word, spot the language, then choose the meaning. It is designed to feel like a game first, with learning happening naturally in the background.

  • Listen to the word, choose which language it belongs to, then choose what it means. Start with two languages to learn the rhythm, then move up to three when you are ready.

  • Yes. Three Tongues is free to play.

  • No. Three Tongues is ad-free, so you can just play the game without interruptions.

  • No account is needed to try the game. You can start playing quickly and see how your brain handles the challenge.

  • Not really. Duolingo is more like structured lessons. Three Tongues is a quick game built around language recognition, meaning and memory. It is a refreshing change when you want to practise without feeling like you are studying.

  • Three Tongues is not trying to replace full language study. It helps your brain notice patterns, sounds and meanings across different languages. Start with two languages, then level up to three.

  • Sound is the heart of the game. The challenge is to hear a word, spot the language, and connect it to meaning. It trains your ear as well as your memory.

  • A game is quick — around 90 seconds. Long enough to get your brain working, short enough to play anytime.

  • Three Tongues currently includes languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, Polish and Indonesian.

  • It means you are not memorising lists or doing lessons. You are playing a quick challenge, but repeated exposure helps words and sounds start to stick.

  • Yes. Beginners can start with two-language mode. More confident players can move up to three languages for a harder challenge.

  • Memory hooks are AI-drawn scenes tied to a foreign word — a picture, a sound and a short story that make the meaning stick. Every hook the game generates lands in a public gallery you can browse, vote on and share.

  • Yes. On the Memory Hooks gallery every card has 👍 / 👎 buttons, and a thumbs-down lets you suggest how the scene could be stronger. Your feedback guides the next version of each hook.

  • Play a classic round in the game. When you choose the meaning of a word, a “Review & Absorb” card slides in — tap it and the game timer pauses so you can truly soak it in. From there, tap the brain icon on either language to flip to that word's Memory Hook. If a hook hasn't been created yet, our AI will draw its best attempt on the spot. Vote 👍 if it helps you remember, 👎 if it doesn't — and if you have a stronger idea, suggest it and the next version will be revamped by our AI.
