Welcome to PinaykaTuro!

A new website designed to help you learn Tagalog root words using SRS (Spaced Repetition System).

How does it work?

Every day you can learn new root words that are used frequently in Tagalog. These words don't just work on their own though, so you need to add affixes to them for them to be usable in conversation/writing. However, the words themselves provide the idea that is being conveyed.

During a lesson, you are presented with the root word, and then the English meaning for the word. You are also presented with an area where you can type in a memory aid for this word. You may ask why we don't provide you with one. This is because, the act of having to come up with a mnemonic of your own helps to cement the information in to your brain, and you're more likely remember the link that the mnemonic creates.

Once the lessons have been learned (don't worry, you don't get too many at once!), you will be able to review the information. These reviews will stay in your review pile until you get them correct. After that, is when the magic happens. We present the review to you at a later time, chosen based on how well you remembered the item the last time it came up in the list - meaning if you got it right, it will wait a longer time before showing up again. If you got it wrong, it will automatically wait less time before coming up again.

This is like any other SRS system - except for one thing - you have to actually know the answer - and type it in - no multiple choice, no having to select "I knew this" or "I forgot this".

What are you waiting for? The first 250 words are free!! After that, if you want to keep learning on to higher levels, we will offer various subscription models from as little as $2 (US) per month.
