One call. Everything after it.
How it works shows you the town. This is the inside: what happens while you talk, and how a single call turns into your Rewind, your study, your shifts and your Sunday read.
New here? Start with How it works.
You talk. They listen for the slips.
A call is a real voice conversation with someone from town, out loud, at your level. When you slip, they put it right in the flow of the conversation, the way a friend would, and keep going.
No buttons. Just ask, in the language you’re learning or your own.
- Slower
- Shorter sentences, one idea each, more pauses.
- Faster
- Full sentences at a native rhythm.
- Another topic
- Something new, right away.
- Keep it casual
- No corrections. Just talk.
- Make it a lesson
- The rule, an example, then your turn.
- I don’t understand
- The same thing again, in simpler words.
- Repeat that
- Word for word, in short pieces.
- How do you say…?
- The word, then they ask you to say it.
- Correct me more
- Every mistake, every turn, until you say ease off.
- 1What you said, as you said it. Show the transcript or hide it.
- 2Diego’s reply, with your sentence put right.
Every correction, checked again.
When the call ends, the app reads the whole conversation again. It checks each correction and drops any that wasn’t a real mistake, so you never study something you said right. Every slip is filed under what it’s about, and those files drive everything below.
You get the full transcript, with each correction on the line it came from, and a few lines from the person you called about how it went.
The moment you slipped, in your own voice.
Rewind takes a moment from the call and plays it back: their question, then your sentence, as you said it. Turn the dial through versions of your line, each one dropped into what you said, and choose.
Get it right and they say it back to you. Miss and you get a hint, with the wrong version struck out. If they corrected you live, the fix you hear is cut from that same call. A slip leaves Rewind once you’ve got it right on three different days.
- 1Your own line, with the slip circled.
- 2The dial: each version, tried in your sentence.
- 3Choose, or hear it again first.
Three topics. Chosen by your mistakes.
Study puts first the three things you slipped on most in the last 30 days. Each one is a short deck: a photo from town with the words pinned to the things in it, a page that explains, the forms, then five questions. Some questions are built from your own lines in calls.
A card counts as learned when you’ve answered every question right on three different days.
- 1The words, pinned to the photo.
- 2The topic, and how it works, in a sentence.
Real jobs in town. Written around you.
The games are shifts: the front desk and the café counter, and in Spanish, Carmen’s grill and the phone at her host stand. People come up and ask. You find the booking, serve the usual, take the money.
At the front desk and in the kitchen, part of every shift is written from the two things you’ve slipped on most in the last two weeks. The next shift is built the moment one ends, so it’s waiting when you come back.
- 1A guest asks how they’re paying. You answer.
- 2Hear the order, put it on the tray.
Mark what you hear. First to a line.
Bingo night is a long table, a few people from town and someone calling. Numbers first. Win a card and the next one opens: letters, then days, and on from there. Your level sets the caller’s pace, and you can ask for it slower.
It’s pure listening, at the speed the town talks. Nobody gets paid for bingo.
- 1Your card. Mark the numbers as they’re called.
- 2Slower, when you need it.
Listen like you live there.
Stories are told by two or three of the town’s people, picked for your level and what you’re working on. The words light up as they’re spoken, and a few questions follow.
Songs are our own originals, made to learn from. They’re subtitled one line at a time, with the word being sung lit up, then five questions on what it meant. Or just listen.
- 1Listen with questions after.
- 2Or just listen.
One article a week, written for you.
Every Sunday, a short article arrives in the language you’re learning. It’s written at your level, on things you’re interested in, from real news sources, with questions at the end.

Small steps. Each one proven.
Your first call places you. There’s no quiz, just a conversation that’s graded afterward. From then on, the app judges every call again, and your stories, Sunday read and shifts follow where you are now.
When you’re ready for the next step, take a level check in one sitting: speaking with an examiner, then listening and reading. Pass and the step is yours. Not yet? Try again in a couple of days.
- 1What the check covers, and how long it takes.
- 2One sitting. If you leave, it counts.
Every step on the way, from your first words to full ease. The same steps in all five languages.
One call. The rest follows.
Everything on this page starts from your first conversation. It’s free to start, in any of the five languages.
