The Toolkit
Eleven Features for Hands-Free Speaking Practice
Song Generator
Turn the words you've already learned into a custom song. Sing along, make them stick, discover what earworms feel like in Hindi.
MadLibs Mode
Drop your mastered vocabulary into wild, generated stories. Laugh-driven repetition is repetition that lasts.
Custom Words
Add your own words, phrases, or whole sentences. Studying for a trip, a job, or a conversation that matters? Train on exactly that.
Live Corrections
Spot a wrong translation or stiff phrasing? Submit a correction and earn points. Every player helps sharpen the course.
1v1 Elo Challenges
Challenge a friend or a random rival to a head-to-head round. Climb the Elo ladder one match at a time.
Points Leaderboards
Weekly points, global rankings, per-language boards. Compete with the plaza or just with yourself.
Reaction-Time Mastery
We track how fast you recall each word, not just whether you got it right. Fluency is speed under pressure.
Five Languages
English to Hindi, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Norwegian. More in the forge. Pick one and go.
Free During Alpha
No paywall, no trials, no premium lessons. Everything is free while we build. We'll charge after launch — alpha testers get grandfather pricing.
Runs in a Tab
Nothing to install. Open the page, sign in, start speaking. Works on anything with a microphone and a modern browser.
The Workshop Door Is Open
We're Building in Public
Alpha means rough edges. It also means every bug report, every "this word is wrong," every "I wish it did X" goes straight into the next release. Early players don't just get a free app — they shape it. And when we ship v1, alpha testers keep grandfather pricing for life.
