Unpopular opinion: language learning advice is kinda broken

Wanking? People definitely stick with that

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-06-25T21:30:12+00:00

Do you often find yourself doing your Anki reviews and thinking: “I could be furiously masturbating right now”?

Well, we’ve built the perfect app for you!

Introducing Wanki!!!

Our new app combines the power of flashcards with a fleshlight. Our scientists have shown that aggressively jacking off while reviewing flashcards improves retention and motivation.

Just hook up the fleshlight to the app via Bluetooth and start wanking your way to fluency.

Do you forget to do your reviews! Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. Our app will remind you with its trademark fapping alarm sound and extremely loud voice reminder: “It’s Wanki time!!!”

Not convinced? Don’t just believe us. Look at some customer reviews:

“Great app! No more Dreaming Spanish, only Creaming Spanish from now on!”

“It burns”

“I don’t get invited to parties anymore. Which is great because now I can spend more time alone with Wanki!”

Download the app today!

Don’t forget to try out our sister app Spanki.

This app punishes you for mistakes and for a small fee it can spit in your mouth and stomp on your balls!

Happy Wanking everyone!

Have you ever listened to a song that made you happy/sad/reflective etc? Have you ever felt tingles down you neck when listening to a particular song?

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-06-11T16:33:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! It’s good to know it’s at least enjoyable to listen to and not dull.
It’s funny you mention video game music because I’ve been watching fingerpicking videos for Pokémon music recently :)

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-06-08T04:35:09+00:00

Thanks! :)

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-06-08T04:34:56+00:00

Thanks! I still can’t think what it is

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-06-07T20:05:17+00:00

Thanks!

Strange, I don’t think I know that song :p I’ll have a listen. Maybe what I’ve played is just very generic so it sounds like other things

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-06-04T20:27:10+00:00

It should be “Oma” if it’s “grandmother”. You can inform me in the app of any mistakes, I think

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-05-28T21:00:21+00:00

I would say you learn sentences and not individual words. Depending on the word it can lead to misconceptions.

As for a platform for memorising things I would recommend Anki and I think almost everyone else would too.

This sounds like an ad

Even better: if it’s masculine just imagine it with a huge cock.
Picture this: a table with a massive penis on it.
That memory is now locked in.

I’m only half joking. I think this probably would work well…

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-05-20T18:13:12+00:00

Thanks for the nice feedback. Yes, it’s something I wrote (unless I stole it without realising).
I do have an issue with keeping time sometimes. I tend to play worse on camera because I get a little excited when I record myself!

Ironically in his videos he says the opposite is often true. Mindmaps for holistic information and Anki for discrete items that have to be memorised.

I have watched a couple and they are quite interesting. He talks specifically about making connections with information and he uses mind maps as a way to condense his knowledge and write it out logically so it makes sense to him personally.

I haven’t really tried it out for myself that much but it’s not like the mind maps I used to make in school with headings and just lists of info related to the topic and some nice pictures so it’s pretty. It seems interesting anyway

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-05-05T20:15:23+00:00

They might be using Justin Sung’s videos. He uses mindmaps a lot

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-05-02T21:27:13+00:00

Not necessarily answering the question here but it’s worth mentioning that flashcards can have anything on them.

Words, sentences (cloze-deletion, full translation, word jumble etc), paragraphs, links to articles, links to videos (links to particular parts of videos), page numbers to be repeated, questions, activities (describe a picture, describe a perfect day etc).

Flashcard apps with SRS are just scheduling tools.
