What you get

Three things every other app gets wrong.

01

Adapts to your actual mistakes

Most apps repeat what you already know. We track which words you get wrong, when you forget them, and rebuild tomorrow’s lesson around exactly that.

Spaced repetition · per-learner model
02

A tutor that hears you out

Speak full sentences, not multiple-choice. The conversation tutor catches pronunciation, grammar, and confidence dips — without the school-marm energy.

Real-time speech · 50+ accents
03

Fits the day you actually have

Eleven minutes on the train. Two minutes at a red light. Sessions resize to the time you give them, so you stop quitting in shame on day nine.
