I have yearly pro subscription until June, 2025. I am using iPhone, and I want to do the lifetime subscription. But in app there are 2 different monthly subscriptions with different prices and 2 yearly pro subscriptions with different prices. But no lifetime subscription option. I tried website but when I login, I don’t see any subscription page, it just shows my ongoing pro subscription. I tried to contact the app team but got no response from them.
Maybe if you guys have the same problem, do you know any solution for this?
I am using pro version, I’d really like to master translation skill. This skill is specifically helpful for more advanced users, and it reflects the case when you want to express a concept from zero in a target language.
Input: a sentence in your base language. Output: I write down/speak aloud my translation in my target language.
Here, multiple outputs can be good, “Explain” helps a lot here to check if a provided alternative is valid.
Do you think we can have it?
I'm using Clozemaster Pro and Anki to improve my vocabulary, but I'm struggling to remember new words. I believe learning through sentences is the best approach for me. How can I create an effective system to maximize these tools and retain new vocabulary from various sources? Any tips or strategies would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there,
Is there an estimated time frame for when audio / listening practice might be available for Esperanto please?
Many thanks
I thought about getting a lifetime subscription for a while now and knew there would be a 50% discount in November, so I waited. When I just checked the price it's at 113 Euros with the 50% discount. I could swear they raised the price right before this sale. Can anyone confirm this?
Hi, I've returned to Clozemaster after a longer pause and am in general very please to see it's grown during my absence. There are more tracks, more sentences, etc.
A question: do they overlap or all they are containing unique sentences? Both options would be nice, just would like to know.
I mean: when I complete a sentence in Fast Track level 2, will it also get automatically reviewed in for example 500 Most Common, if it is there too?? Or are there totally different sentences? Or are there sometimes the same sentences but I have to learn them twice?
Thanks!
So maybe this has been explained before, but I didn’t see a good explanation with the ol’ Google search with “Reddit” in the search query, so I thought I’d just ask about this here.
For less commonly studied languages (the photo here is from Icelandic) the number of sentences is relatively tiny for the number of most common words. Like, even if you add together the 100, 500, and 1000 most common word list sentences, how does this translate to learning the most common 1000 words in total?
I think Icelandic appears to have a few thousand sentences all together judging by a quick look, but the frequency lists go up to the >50,000 mark (the >50,000 words list has 1,639 sentences, btw).
tl;dr: Is this just that all these words they’re counting are words you’re merely exposed to (passive exposure, while you actually study a small fraction) or is it something else?
Decided to try it out immediately when they released it a couple days ago, and was surprised they released with Latvian as one of the first languages to try out. Especially since two weeks ago I made a post about how bad that course is on CM (which they then very quickly fixed). I was familiar with mozilla's common voice so I thought it would be interesting to try out. Now after a few days of using it (premium) it looks like a really good resource (from premium perspective), though still very simple. I seem to be the only one on the Latvian leaderboards though, as of yet.
It seems to me the Clozemaster/Common Ear combo is making itself out to be a really solid resource for learning this specific language, but I was wondering what others think of the other languages on Common Ear and whether you think it is worth it (price and time wise).

Hello,
I have returned to the Clozemaster after a while, and recently noticed that there is no "Explain" feature available in my Fast Track anymore, but only in the app. Interesingly, I have checked the 100 Most Common collection, and the feature is there for both mobile and desktop version.
Anyone have similar issues?
Edit: I you want to be quizzed on a noun as well as its gender, Clozemaster will not do that for you.
I just started using Clozemaster for German, and I feel like I must be missing something. In Fast Track level one, "correct" answers for nouns don't require knowing the noun's gender -- it's given in the sentence. I peeked at level nine to see if it was different, but it's the same approach.
I know there are two grammar options -- for definite articles and relative clauses, and for indefinite articles -- and I've started to work on those instead, but I can't figure out why Clozemaster would have left out an essential part of building up a noun vocabulary. I got a good deal on a monthly subscription, but it seems almost useless as a vocabulary builder for nouns.
Am I missing something?
The app says it adds 1 point for every sentence, instead it adds 0 points for every sentence. Why?
Just wondering as I get more into things what people prefer, or think work best for learning. I have switched to doing Vocabulary with Text Input, and always show the translation, and if I have no idea of the word, I hit the button to go to multiple choice, and then only use the free letter if I am having issues spelling something. I feel like this helps me associate the words better, since if I do listening I just focus on hearing how to phonetically spell the words, and not what the words actually mean.
But maybe I am just doing things wrong, or it is more language dependent? Either way, wondering how people are also using the app.
I have to renew my pro membership by nov 9. I think black friday sales of 50% discount will be available on november 29. I have seen other posts where it was mentioned that clozemaster doesnt suppost switching plans feature, so should i not but pro by nov 9 and instead wait till nov 29?
I'm learning Latvian, which isn't a big language on Clozemaster (only has the random collection with 940 sentences) and I have also been using it as a secondary resource to learn German (which has a ton more content) for a couple of years now.
I'm wondering if anyone really gives any care to languages not in the top 5, it feels like every fifth sentence is an awkward sentence that obviously was translated wrong from English to Latvian because someone didn't know the difference between eg. "day" (24-hour period) and "day" (the time when the sun is up), which are two different words in Latvian.
Thankfully I at least know enough to have warning bells ringing when I read an awkward sentence and I'm able to look it up if I'm unsure, but this just doesn't seem to be a good resource for learning a language. I understand that as a dev team with a ton of languages you don't have control of everything being right all the time, but this is something that really can't be overlooked if you want to have a good learning resource, which is what CM is touted as all the time. There are mistakes that are really fatal in terms of learning correct speech, e.g. the you sg./pl. distinction that is especially crucial for native English speakers to learn.
The only remedy that I can think of is if there were enough community made collections to use instead but that seems like a waste, especially when there already are built in collections that just are made unreliable by having 85% okay content, 10% clumsy sentences and 5% blatantly wrong translations. Is this actually recommended for learning other languages than French, German and Spanish?
There doesn't seem to be a placement test? If you're beyond beginner, do you just start with level 1?
It's been a lot fewer than 180 days since I started using clozemaster, and I never manually marked sentences as mastered (nor did I change when the 4th review is).
it says choose a collection so i click and i browse but there’s no option to pin it…
Wow, I was in for a shocker on this one. I figured 100 most common meant all the words would be the most common. I got blasted with "The tenant must pay rent to the landlord at the end of each month." Something I've never even said in English before.
Hello! I’ve been using your platform and love the experience. I’m eager to upgrade to the lifetime option, but the current $199 price is a bit beyond my budget. I’ve tried various promo codes without success. Could you please offer any valid discount or promotion that might make this plan more affordable?
Have you all learned a language just by using Clozemaster. Btw, do you use other websites or apps to learn languages?
SOLVED - user error
Hey guys, for a few days I’ve only been able to play one round per day! Is this part of a new update or should I report a bug?
If it’s a feature I am really disappointed. I just signed up for premium for a year and would probably try to get a refund if so.
For context, it first happened when I changed it to “infinite.” When I realized I wouldn’t be able to do play another round after ending the infinite round, I changed it back to a numbered round, but then today could only play one of those. Could it be tied to that?
Edit: Turns out I had just finished the deck coincidentally with swapping back and forth from the “infinite” and I was reviewing, not doing new cards. Lol
Anyone else wish you could play the same deck as much as you want tho? 🙃 Just while I have this topic open…
Hello,
I don't know if anyone at the Clozemaster developing team reads this forum, but I would like to leave my opinion here.
I'm a subscriber of Clozemaster for nearly one year now and I actually love it, I think it's brilliant and it helped me boost my vocabulary usage in Serbian.
Anyway, the thing is, I don't like the fact that it keeps my 'streak'. I do 80-100 sentences every working day, but some days (specially on Saturdays) I don't follow my routine and I can't set aside 5-10 minutes, or I forget about it because I'm busy. So, seeing the streak go back to 0 is really annoying and puts me off (I get the feeling that, well, since I lost my streak, why start again today and not tomorrow or the day after that?).
You guys can say that I can as well ignore the streak. And you are right, I can. But it would be really great if I could turn it off and not see that annoying number again. I honestly think it's great that it motivates people, but it doesn't work that way for everyone and it's my case.
Love for the developers and for you guys on the subreddit.
I'm learning AUSTRIAN , Wich can be different from Deutsch in lot of aspects ...
Would be awesome if you could Add to the app !!
Dankeee
