WHAT YOU GET • A new story episode every day: a short mission you play out with your tutor, five episodes per story. • Today's news, picked for your interests, from newspapers in the language you're learning. • Scenes: play out real moments, like ordering in a busy café or asking the way. • Open chat: type any topic, or just start talking. • Corrections after every lesson, plus the new words worth keeping. • Word practice: say your words out loud and watch them move to mastered. • Your tutor remembers what you talked about, so every lesson builds on the last.
