How it works

A sentence in. A finished course out.

Four steps, and the first three cost nothing. You go all the way to a complete path — the whole shape of the subject, every lesson in order — before anything is written or charged for.

Three steps. The third one is the whole trick.

Starting is one sentence. The questions take a minute. Then the part nobody else built: it keeps teaching you for four months.

01

Say it. Or drop it in.

A sentence, your slides, the handbook PDF, a YouTube lecture, a stack of links. Type it, paste it, or say it out loud.

Drop files Paste notes Say it out loud

Slides, PDFs, links, a voice note — or one plain sentence. Whatever you have.

02

Answer three questions.

Your level, your goal, your deadline, the hours you actually have. The questions a tutor asks in the first five minutes — one tap each.

Watch it build. Then live in it.

The path draws itself, topic by topic. Lessons get written in the format their knowledge needs, land on your calendar, and come back for review before you forget.

It doesn't just show you.
It checks.

“Correct!” without checking anything is entertainment. Nine question types, each graded the way it deserves — here are three of them, exactly as they look in a lesson.

Lesson 6 · Ordering, out loud

Say it the way you'd say it to the barista.

Nice — “cornetto” came out as “coretto”. Lean on the rn, then the double t.

Subito! Lo vuole al banco o al tavolo?

29 voices, 20 languages. It hears what actually came out of your mouth, marks the word that slipped, and a role-play partner answers back in character.

Built for the four months after the excitement wears off.

Anyone can start a course. This is the machinery that gets you to the end of one.

Miss three days? The plan just… slides.

No red badges, no pile of guilt. Mark a day done or skipped and everything after it re-flows to fit the hours you actually have.

Re-flowed. Nothing lost.

Review lands right before you'd forget.

Finish a lesson and it quietly queues for review. Recall it easily, the gap widens. Fumble, it comes back sooner. Free forever, on every plan.

One glance answers everything.
