Optimized for iPhone Duo. Built with the latest SDK, the app fills the entire inner display and automatically adjusts its layout whether the device is folded or open. Learn 5 words in about a minute: Japanese, Korean, Spanish or any of 44 languages, starting with real situations like travel, dining and shopping. Walk a short five-word trail, hear each word read aloud, and see exactly which five words you learned when you finish. Track your streak and your progress in every language and topic. Works offline. It is built for adults who have started a language three times and stopped three times. Commuters with a few minutes between subway stops. Travelers packing next week. Students grinding through exam prep. Professionals who need the vocabulary of their own field. Anyone who wants a small daily habit. Inside there are 44 learning languages and 14 life paths, including travel, business, exams, daily life, dining, shopping, interviews, health, tech, nature, entertainment and social talk, each broken into small units at beginner, intermediate and advanced level. Tap any word to hear it read aloud by the system voice, and pick the voice you prefer for each language. Save the words worth keeping, grouped by topic and level, and come back to them whenever you want. Set a daily goal of 5, 10, 12 or 20 words, then watch the count rise: how many days in a row you have kept going, your best run, today's words, progress in every language, and a small ring filling on each topic and unit. Everything runs offline. No account, no sign in, no personal data collected, no third party advertising, no tracking. What you learn stays on your device, on a plane, on a subway platform, in a waiting room with no signal. You can start without paying: pick one language and one beginner path, learn your first 10 words and save up to 3. Other languages, paths and levels stay visible as previews. A single one-time purchase unlocks all 44 languages, all 14 paths, every level, unlimited learning and unlimited saved words. It is not a subscription.
