The app has 36 kinds of lesson step. Here are three.

What you get

A course for each language

Korean, Japanese, Spanish and French, in short modules that build on each other. A placement test finds your starting point.

Grammar, particle and conjugation trainers when you need them
Graded stories with tap-to-look-up words (Japanese and Korean), and conversations to listen to or role-play
Daily goals, quests and a streak with freezes for the days you miss

Reviews that track what you forget

FSRS-6 scheduling brings a word back just before you would forget it, and skips the ones you already know.

Flashcards with audio and images
Anki import, so words you already know are not taught again (Japanese and Korean)
Works offline and syncs across devices

Speaking, listening and writing

Practice beyond multiple choice, in the scripts you are actually learning.

Animated stroke order, and handwriting checked against the character: Hiragana, Katakana and Hangul
Speech recognition to check your pronunciation
Listening drills and conversations
Typed writing practice

Japanese vocabulary starts from the JLPT N5 list and is loosely ordered by how often words come up in everyday conversation (source: NINJAL's Corpus of Everyday Japanese Conversation).
Korean vocabulary was checked against a frequency list and introduced loosely in frequency order (source: National Institute of Korean Language word lists).

How the courses are made

We are two learners building the free app we wanted to use. To launch with a full course in each language, we drafted the courses with AI assistance, then shaped them with our own learning experience and research. As money allows, native speakers will re-author and review them, and the audio will move to better voices.

Now on iPhone

The same courses, reviews and stories as the web app, kept in sync between them. Start a lesson on your laptop and finish it on the train. Android is next.
