How it works: Choose your languages & level First, pick your native language and the one you want to learn. Then choose your starting level - from A1 beginner to C2 advanced. You’ll get vocabulary from your level only - not too easy, not too hard. Color levels first - every word pair appears in the same color: one in your language, one in the language you're learning. This helps your brain make fast connections. Gray levels second - the color disappears. No clues. Just gray cubes. Now your brain has to pull the right words from memory. This recall is what trains your memory and makes the words stick. Every 12 levels, you get another chance to learn the words you missed - until they stick. With 132 unique color palettes, every level looks fresh. It’s a simple loop: Color teaches. Gray tests. Repetition makes it last.
