Gorgo teaches language the way memory actually works.

Not through drills or streaks—but through images, emotion, and strangeness.

Each word lives inside a surreal scene designed to make it unforgettable. It’s based on decades of memory research, using the same techniques memory champions have relied on for centuries—the Method of Loci and Memory Palaces, art and neuroscience.

  • A surreal painting with a giant cooked chicken in the sky above a mountain resembling a volcano, a large black bomb-like object on the mountain's surface, and a small person standing on the ground looking up at the scene.
  • A giant, cracked stone sculpture of a face with eyes closed dominates an outdoor marketplace, with fishing nets of fish hanging above and market stalls with people selling goods under tents, in a historical setting with a clear blue sky and scattered clouds.
A surreal image of a large fish head on a table, with a small dining table set nearby. A spoon hangs from the ceiling casting a shadow that resembles an exclamation mark. There is a window in the room with clouds visible outside.

Gorgo is an experiment:

Can memory techniques work for language learning at scale? We think so—and we’re looking for 100 collaborators to find out.

Not customers. Explorers. People curious enough to see if learning can feel like dreaming—and still work better than anything else.

Join us

Language as architecture. Memory as art.

You don’t repeat words until they stick—you place them in vivid, strange little worlds that do the remembering for you.
When you revisit a palace, the words come back naturally. Gorgo is what happens when design, art, and science meet.
Not gamified learning—just beautiful recall.
