## What is Tongo?

Learn English with a personalized tutor in your pocket. Read books with real-time translations and discover new words in a tap. You decide for yourself how you want to learn English, at what level, and at what pace.

We recommend using our grammar and vocabulary courses to learn the language. You can improve your language skills through a variety of exercises. Speak, read, listen, write, and choose topics that are important to you. By doing these exercises with us, you will be able to resolve issues related to business, free time, medicine, and many other aspects of life.
 
From day one, you’ll be able to do the following:
• Stay focused with interesting learning materials that you can choose by yourself.
• Learn intuitively using our proven immersion method.
• Download materials so that you can enjoy them offline.
 
A variety of books and articles are available to you to sharpen your reading, writing, and grammar skills. Choose a book that matches your current language level and start expanding your knowledge immediately! Unknown word? Simply tap on it to get the translation, add it to your “to-learn” list, and memorize it forever!
 
All you need is 10 minutes a day to study. Pick the words you want to learn and memorize them using the spaced repetition method.
– Kiss stressful schedules goodbye
We’re serious. We can arrange your studying sessions for you to help keep you on track.
 
– Ensure you never forget a word again
There’ll be no forgetting vocabulary on our watch. Avoid blanking on words with our Vocabulary Review. It’ll help you review, review, and review, until those words stick.
 
– Progress from beginner to upper-intermediate level
Learning from scratch? That’s cool with us. Or studying after a long break? That’s okay, too. We’ll help you find your level and work your way up.
