Built on proven learning science

  • Just above your level — where you learn fastest
  • Real scenes, not word lists — you remember the scene, and the word comes with it
  • Spaced repetition, built in — the most proven method there is, with just two answers: know it, or still learning
  • Learn from what you love — strong feelings make strong memories
learning speed too easy your zone not yet ✓ dog ✓ week half measures lay low perfunctory obfuscate

Your tutor learns your vocabulary word by word — and the zone moves with you.

Ask about a phrase. It’s already a card.

Ask in the chat about any phrase and get a quick answer. Want to keep it for good? The card is already made — one tap adds it to your deck.
