## What is LLYLI?

LLYLI helps you learn the language of the country you live in. Not from a textbook, but from your real life.

Capture words you encounter every day and turn them into lasting vocabulary with science-backed spaced repetition.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Capture words and phrases from daily life
2. Get instant translations with example sentences
3. Review with smart scheduling that knows when you're about to forget
4. Master through four adaptive exercise types

SMART SPACED REPETITION
Each word gets a personalized review schedule. Difficult words come back sooner. Easy words wait longer. You study less and remember more.

REAL SENTENCES, NOT FLASHCARDS
Every word appears in sentence context, never in isolation. As your mastery grows, sentences get longer and more complex. The app tracks mastery in both directions: recognizing words you see and producing words you need to speak.

CAPTURE YOUR WAY
Type a single word or multiple at once. Choose your own category or let the AI assign one. Each word gets an instant translation, category, and example sentence.

PERSONALIZED DAILY DASHBOARD
Your home screen greets you in your target language and shows exactly what needs attention. One tap to start practicing.

GAMIFICATION
- Vocabulary Bingo: complete rows on your personalized card
- Boss Rounds: timed challenges against your hardest words
- Daily streaks and detailed progress stats

WORKS OFFLINE
Review sessions work 100% offline. Words and sentences are cached locally.

LANGUAGES
English speakers learning Portuguese, Dutch, or Swedish. More languages coming soon.

NO ADS. NO TRACKING.
Just effective language learning.
Built by an expat who needed to learn the real language of daily life, not tourist phrases.
