Phrasal verbs that sink in.
Instead of learning phrasal verbs as isolated translations, Sink In shows the pattern behind them. Pick a particle like out, see the meanings it carries, then practise verbs and sentences that use the same idea until the pattern sticks.

Three ideas, one small daily session
Sink In is built on what cognitive science says actually works: spacing, retrieval practice, and desirable difficulty, wrapped in an interface that gets out of your way.
Particle-first
Verbs are grouped by particle (up, in, away, off, out, over, on, back…). Each particle has a recurring shape. Once it clicks, dozens of verbs fall into place.
Spaced repetition (SM-2)
Each meaning is scheduled to come back just as you're about to forget. No deck management, no add-ons. Just review what's due.
Four exercise modes
Recognition cards, particle cloze in context, meaning → particle, and schema match. Interleaved so you train recall and discrimination, not just recognition.
A handful of particles, hundreds of verbs
Each particle carries a small set of recurring meanings. Sink In anchors every meaning to a short motion mnemonic and a bridge sentence so the particle's shape stays visible.
