A new lesson is ready for you every day. All you have to do is start.
You open the app, and today's lesson is already put together. First you review what you're starting to forget, then you learn a few new words, read a short text, and write a couple of sentences or talk with a companion. If you keep making the same mistake, the app notices and goes over it with you. Each part of the lesson says why it's there today. English from zero to C1, Spanish from zero to B2.
Your first lesson opens right away, no account needed · No card · In the browser, as an app, or in Telegram

The home screen is today's lesson: your streak, what you've done today and your level, the plan with a time for each part, and one button.
What's in a lesson
The app works out what you need today
Each day it looks at what you're starting to forget, which words you're learning, where you slip up and how long it's been since you last read, and builds the lesson from that. Before each part it tells you why it's there. Below are the lines you'll see in the app itself.
-
Starting to forget
Reviews come first
Words, phrases and grammar you're about to forget come first. But reviews never take more than half the lesson: the rest of the time is for something new.
First, a review of what you're starting to forget.
-
The same mistake again
A repeated mistake gets its own short lesson
Make the same mistake twice in a week, in writing or in a conversation, and your next lesson includes a short fix: the rule, your own sentences with the mistake marked, and two sentences to translate.
Tense mistakes keep coming back — let's go over them.
-
Words in progress
No more than four new words at a time
Each word goes through a few short exercises, from recognising it to writing it yourself. New words are added only as earlier ones move along, so they never pile up.
New words today: 4.
-
Haven't read in a while
Then the text comes first
If you haven't finished a text in the last couple of days, reading moves ahead of the word exercises: the next part of a story, a passage from a real book, or a text made of your own words. You see its new words before you start.
A story episode that uses today's grammar.
-
Time to use it
Last, you write it or say it yourself
At the end you write a few sentences on today's grammar and get each line checked. Or, once a pack's words have stuck, you have a short conversation with a companion who uses them. One or the other, never both.
Now write it yourself — that's how it sticks.
You choose how long a lesson is: 5 to 30 minutes a day, up to 15 on the free plan. Progress is saved after every exercise, so you can study in bits: five minutes in the morning, ten in the evening.
From zero to C1
Start from zero, or from your own level
The course follows CEFR, the international scale of language levels. Each level has its own words, its own grammar and its own themed story packs.
Pick your level, or let a short quiz find it
Choose “Complete beginner”, or take the quiz if you're not sure. After that the app adjusts by itself: texts come at your level, new words come from your level's list, and grammar opens in the right order. Starting from zero? Before your first lesson you'll get ten short primer pages on how an English sentence works and how to read a word out loud, written for speakers of Russian, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese.
- Start from zero with the primer, your first words and simple A1 texts
- Themed packs of short stories at every level from A1 to C1
- Your level goes up when its words and core grammar have stuck for the long term

What's inside
Eight parts that work together
Reading, words, grammar, writing and conversation are connected: what you meet in one place comes back in the others.
New words come from reading, and you see them before you start
The lesson picks a text that's useful today: the next part of a themed story, a passage from a real book in the library, or a short text made from the words you're practising. Before you read, you see its new words. Tick the ones you already know, and the rest go into your next lessons.
- Hundreds of short stories in themed packs, A1 to C1, with translation and audio
- Passages from real books at your level, a few paragraphs long, with new words highlighted
- A finished text counts; skipping one costs you nothing
Words ahead
New words from the programme

A few minutes of exercises, and the word sticks
Each word goes through a chain of short exercises: a card, picking the translation, hearing it, picking the word, typing it from memory, building a sentence with it. Along the way you see it in real phrases. Forgot it? The hint fills in the next letter, or just tap “I don't remember”: no guessing needed.
- Phrases and collocations for every word, translated and voiced
- Two exercises on the same word are spaced apart, so each time you really have to remember it
- No headphones? “Can't listen right now” turns sound off for the whole lesson

Exercise five of six: the word from memory, with a hint, an “I don't remember” button and the word's common phrases right below.
A lesson for every key topic, and a map of the whole way
Every key construction from A1 to C1 has its own lesson: what it's called, the pattern, examples, the mistake everyone makes, and a short drill at the end. The map lays out the whole route like metro lines, and each topic shows two numbers: how much you've practised it and how often you've met it in real texts. The next level opens once the core topics have stuck.
- Lessons in your own language for every key topic, A1 to C1
- If an exercise goes wrong twice, the app explains exactly where your answers went wrong
- Grammar you've studied is highlighted in everything you read

Topics laid out like metro lines; each one shows how much you've practised it and how often you've met it in texts.
Write a few sentences, and see every line reviewed
Translate a short text, write on today's grammar, or keep a diary. The review marks each mistake right in your text: what you wrote, what it should be and why, in your own language, with the rule one tap away. Don't know a word? Write it in your own language: it becomes a new word to learn, not a mistake.
- Eight kinds of mistakes: tense, articles, prepositions, word order, word choice and more
- Only what you actually wrote is quoted, and no mistakes are made up
- A mistake you keep making comes back as a short exercise in your next lesson
Write it yourself
A few things to fix
The story holds together and the past simple is right everywhere but one place.
Last week I have visited1 the old harbour with a friend. We walked along the muelle and watched the boats come in.
-
Tense
have visited→visited “Last week” names a finished time, so the verb takes the past simple, not the present perfect. Open the rule
Words you didn't know
The mistake is marked right in your text, with the fix and the reason. And a word you wrote in your own language becomes a new word to learn.
Talk with a companion who uses your words
There are five characters to talk to, each with a personality of their own. A conversation is short and has a clear end: a scene from the pack whose words you've just learned, at the airport or at the doctor's, or a chat about a text you read yesterday. Type or speak; your companion answers in the language you're learning, picks up on what you say, and wraps up on time. Afterwards you see what went well, what to fix, and which words you were missing.
- Type or speak, whichever suits you
- Your companion's lines are spoken first, and the text is one tap away
- Words you were missing go into your next lesson straight from the summary
Hi, Mira. Orbi here — I'm at the gate and they've just called my flight. Did you check in online, or at the desk?
Online. But my suitcase was two kilos over, so I paid at the desk.
Two kilos — that's one pair of boots. What did you leave behind?
TranslateEnd the conversation
A short conversation in a scene from your pack: your companion uses your words, picks up on what you say, and finishes on time.
Every word on its own orbit
Each word comes back on its own schedule, just before you'd forget it. The schedule comes from FSRS, the modern spaced-repetition algorithm also built into Anki, and it covers words, phrases and grammar alike. The gaps grow each time: a day, four days, ten, a month. Missed a day? Nothing is lost: a streak freeze covers it, and your reviews simply wait.
- A review arrives just before a word would slip away
- The better you know something, the less often it comes back
- Words, phrases and grammar share one schedule
Each word has its own schedule: today, in four days, in ten, in a month. The better you know it, the longer the gap.
Today's effort and your real level, shown separately
It feels good to see that today counted, but a CEFR level grows slowly, and pretending otherwise would be a lie. So the progress page shows two things: how far you moved today, and how close the next level really is, judged by the words and core grammar that have settled into long-term memory. Achievements are for real results, given once, with a card you can share.
- Every lesson moves today's track, and you see it right away
- The level track is slow on purpose: it only counts what you've kept
- Missed a day? A streak freeze covers it

The Reader is built in, and everything is connected
Everything the standalone Reader can do is inside the app: the translation beside the text, the word card, audio, your own EPUB and FB2, bookmarks, quotes, reading offline. Here it's part of how you learn: a word you tap in a book joins your lesson, comes back for review on time, and then turns up again in a text and in a conversation. Two courses on one account: English and Spanish.
- Books, stories, lessons and conversations share one vocabulary and one progress
- What you're learning is highlighted in every text you open

FAQ
Questions about the app
How much time does it take a day?
As much as you choose: 5 to 30 minutes, in one go or in several. The lesson is planned to fit: on a short day it's reviews and a few words, on a longer one it adds a text, grammar and writing. The free plan gives you 15 minutes a day; Plus has no limit. Missing a day costs nothing: reviews wait, and a streak freeze covers the gap.
What's in a lesson?
A few parts, in an order that has a reason: reviews that are due (never more than half the time), practice on a mistake you keep making, the words you're learning plus up to four new ones, a text and its new words, a grammar lesson or exercise, and one thing you produce yourself: a few sentences of writing, or a conversation. You see the plan before you start, and each part says why it's there.
How is the app different from the Reader?
The Reader is a separate product for relaxed reading, with a dictionary, grammar and audio; it's simpler and cheaper. The app is the whole course: a lesson ready every day, words practised until they stick, writing checked by AI, conversations, a grammar map from A1 to C1, and the entire Reader inside.
I use the Reader. Will my words carry over?
Yes. Sign in with the same account and every word you saved in the Reader is already in the app, ready for your lessons. There's nothing to export or add again.
Is it free?
You can start free and without signing up, and it isn't a demo: a real text and a real lesson. Sign up and confirm your email to get 14 days of Plus: full access, no card. After that it's either Plus, or the free plan forever: a 15-minute lesson a day, every themed pack and sample chapters. Writing, conversations and practice on repeated mistakes are part of Plus. There are no ads on any plan.
Do I have to sign up?
Not to start: choosing a level and interests, the first text and the first lesson all work without an account. Signing up takes an email and password, or a Google account; it saves your progress and keeps it the same on all your devices. Once you confirm your email, 14 days of Plus begin.
I'm starting from zero. Will it work for me?
Yes. Choose “Complete beginner” or take the short quiz. If your language is Russian, Spanish, German, French, Italian or Portuguese, you'll start with ten short primer pages: how an English sentence works, how to read a word aloud, why English needs articles. Then the course builds around you, with words, grammar and story packs at every level from A1 to C1.
Can I learn Spanish here?
Yes, in any of the app's languages: a Spanish course from the very first word, with its own primer, grammar from A1 to B2, more than 200 short stories, 16 books with a translation beside every sentence, and a verb page with every tense on one map. Both courses live on one account, with one streak. Spanish for English speakers
What does it run on?
Any modern browser, on a phone, tablet or computer; you can also install it as an app (PWA). There's a Telegram Mini App as well, opened from our bot. Your progress syncs everywhere.
