## What is Besa?

Albanian, heard and spoken.

Every word and sentence in Besa has clear pronunciation audio — 361 clips, generated in advance with Albanian neural text-to-speech and bundled for offline use. You hear the language from the first lesson, without waiting for a connection.

Besa is the Albanian word for a promise kept. It felt like the right name for an app about words you give.

WHAT IS IN IT

· 20 units, 61 lessons — greetings, family, food, numbers, the café, the city, travel, directions, verbs, weather, feelings, work, past and future
· 244 words and 123 sentences, each with pronunciation audio
· Spaced repetition that brings a word back exactly when you are about to forget it
· Listening-only practice with normal and slow replay
· A searchable vocabulary notebook with favorites, mastery and targeted drills
· A museum of twenty Albanian things you unearth as you go — the coffee pot, the felt cap, the low table, Berat's window, the clock tower of Tirana — each with a note on why it matters

HOW IT WORKS

Lessons are short. Recognition, typing, sentence building, matching and listening exercises keep them varied, and the streak counts real days. A daily reminder is optional; turn it off whenever you want.

Learn from English, Italian, German or Greek. Pick your language on first launch and change it whenever.

Three themes: Nata, night stone. Balta, warm clay you can almost press. And Bregdeti, riviera daylight.

NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET, NO TRACKING

Besa never talks to a server. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to subscribe to, and no analytics. Every lesson and every recording is inside the app, so it works on a plane, on a mountain, and on a furgon with no signal.

Your progress lives on your phone and nowhere else.
