How it works
Every lesson is a rung on your ladder. Climb a few rungs and you reach a platform: a new topic, conquered.
-
1
Pick a course
Choose what you want to learn and set a daily goal that fits your day: from a quick five minutes to a proper session.
-
2
Climb a rung
Each lesson is a handful of short questions: match the pairs, translate a sentence, complete the sentence. Get one wrong? You get a second go at the end.

Reach the next platform
Pass every lesson in a unit to reach its platform. Earn stars and XP, keep your streak alive and watch your character climb.
Made to keep you going
Bite-size lessons
Lessons take a few minutes, so learning fits between the kettle boiling and the bus arriving.
Accuracy first
You score for getting it right. There is no clock ticking by default; quick answers simply earn a small bonus. Small typos and missing accents are forgiven.
Streaks and daily goals
A gentle nudge to come back tomorrow. Hit your daily XP goal and watch your streak grow.
Leaderboards, your way
Weekly and all-time boards for everyone, each course and your friends. Show your username, a friendly pseudonym, or stay hidden.
Learn with friends
Invite friends with a link, follow their streaks and see who climbs highest this week.
Safe for younger learners
Children need a parent or guardian's permission to join, and their accounts get extra privacy protections until they are old enough.
