The library

Words, decks and stories.

Every word carries its part of speech, gender where the language has one, a reading and a transliteration where the script needs them, an example sentence, and a hook.

Stories

Written to be read, not to be decoded.

Short, level-marked, and built out of the words in the decks under them. Tap any underlined word.

un gato en la ventana. El gato es pequeño y días, a las ocho, el gato la calle. La mujer de la casa se llama Ana. Ana la ventana y el gato Ana le da leche y pan. El gato y en la cama. Hoy el gato no en la ventana. Ana espera. hora. dos horas. Ana triste.

Tap an underlined word. In the app the same tap also tells you whether that word is already in your collection and when it is next due.

This is the starter library that ships with the platform, not a claim about the size of a language. Spanish is the deepest and is being taken to a thousand words first. You can import your own list from a spreadsheet at any point, and a teacher can build decks from anything the class is reading.

How the library is organised

Twelve topics

Core words, people, food, places, time, body, home, work, nature, feelings, everyday verbs and describing words. Every language uses the same twelve, so switching does not mean relearning the furniture.

Frequency first

Every word carries a frequency rank, so the default order through a language is the order that pays back soonest.

Yours on top

Import a CSV, build decks by filter, and write your own hooks over anything shipped.
