Language learning through mass exposure to vocabulary in context. Clozemaster answers the question "what will I do after after Duolingo?" and is the ideal app for intermediate language learners looking to get fluent faster.

Im in my first month of learning polish, and im currently using a flashcard app, duolingo, and Clozemaster. As well as Google translate and ChatGPT if I have any specific questions. I keep seeing this sentiment online that Clozemaster isn’t great for beginner and is better for intermediates. I’m pretty much just going over the 100 most common words list over and over trying to learn each individual word. But I’m still learning basic stuff like conjunctions, pronouns, and sentence structure. Has anyone else here used it effectively as a beginner?
I remember there was a cloud icon that let u download favorited sentences, but now it's gone, and I couldnt find it anywhere. is there any other way to export sentences?
Is there a way in Clozemaster to delete sentences in advance, to avoid having to review sentences that a user will never use in real life? I am finding a fair bit of time is wasted interpreting nonsensical sentences that will never be used, which in turn wastes considerable time. Is this possible?
TIA.

I have "played" all 1000 phrases in Italian "Fast Track 1" but Mastered zero. I understand I need to get each one right 4x to "Master" it. Fair enough. But app only gives me 20/day to review. That takes me about 5 minutes. At this rate it will take me around a year to do "Fast Track 1" and I may not live enough years to finish all the "Fast Track" levels. I'd rather spend an hour a day and complete it in a few weeks. Surely this 20/day thing is configurable somewhere? Do not see it in either web product or iOS app. Apart from this, I like Clozemaster a lot, so I hope there is a solution.
Hello,
I currently have a lifetime subscription to all languages on Rosetta Stone. I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in sharing their Clozemaster Pro account in exchange for access to my Rosetta Stone lifetime account. I'm currently learning Spanish, so if you're learning Spanish too this probably wouldn't work out. If you're learning any language other than Spanish, I think we could share an account without stepping on each other's toes.
Thanks for your consideration.
I want to use the voice Audrey, but this is so frustrating.
Does anyone know a solution?
Sometimes it works, sometimes it randomly doesn’t and makes me use the apple text to speech which sounds all robotic. Does anyone know how to fix this?
It doesn't say anything and just expects you know what the words in the sentence mean
I have noticed that the desktop and mobile version are two completely different apps, and it bothers me to no end how I have to switch between the two, in order to achieve different things. For one, I still don't see a button on the mobile version to add a sentence to a custom collection. So what I have to do is favorite the words while I'm in mobile, log on to the desktop version, then look at the list of favorites, copy them to my custom collections, then unfavorite them. On the other hand, the mobile version allows me to click a little clock button after I did a sentence, which will reveal options for setting the difficulty of that word, which then impacts how often I will encounter it again, which is the reason I use the mobile app. However, the desktop app has said functionality for words, but only those that are already mastered, and the repetition intervals can be incrementally increasing, which makes a perfect difficulty based SRS system (but again, only for mastered words), but you have to dig in the settings of the desktop app to achieve this, and you don't even have this setting in mobile. Why can't the devs combine all the features of both versions, instead of running essentially two different programs in parallel?
I've started using Clozemaster, learning Italian from English (the free version), learning from the 3000 most common words. I've gone through 71 sentences and words like "pistol" have come up, instead of "walking" or "tired" or parts of the body or numbers (only "twenty" has come up) which I'm sure are far more frequent. Why is this? Do they just play the 3000 most common words randomly? Why not in order?

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?
