Amavit is the platform for mental arithmetic teachers. Create groups, run lessons, assign homework, track results, and keep students motivated - all in one place. Free for teachers, with no limits. Signing up takes less than a minute. Your students and their parents join by your invitation, so you stay in control of your class from day one. FOR TEACHERS - Homework, done fast: assign to a whole group or a single student, set a schedule, and let the app check the work automatically. - Progress tracking: see individual and group results in real time, and know exactly who needs help. - Group management: run both group lessons and one-on-one work. - Student motivation: achievements and practice streaks keep learners coming back. - Less admin, more teaching: the routine work is handled for you, so you spend your time on instruction. FOR STUDENTS Children complete the homework you assign and practice freely through focused, playful games built around abacus (soroban) technique: - Addition and subtraction with Small Friends and Big Friends (UCMAS-standard methods) - Anzan (mental calculation), flashcards, and flash tests - Multiplication and division - Achievements and streaks that keep practice rewarding FOR PARENTS Parents follow along with clear, automatic progress updates and always know what their child is working on. SAFE BY DESIGN Amavit is built for a school setting. Children never register themselves and never handle payments - a teacher or parent sets up the account, and children sign in with a simple PIN. There is no advertising and no third-party data sharing. Amavit brings the full mental math loop - teacher to class to homework to practice to parent report - into a single app.

Learn a language by reading stories you can actually finish. ReadNative is a graded-reader app. Every book is a retelling of a classic, a folk tale or a legend, written to start at A1 (HSK 1 for Chinese) and build toward B1, so the language gets harder at the same pace you improve. Read chapter by chapter, at your own speed. 20 LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Persian, Thai, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Serbian, Greek and Hebrew. Every language has its own library and its own reading path. TAP ANY WORD Stuck on a word? Tap it and see its meaning in the context of that sentence, not a dictionary list of ten options. Languages with non-Latin scripts show romanization, so you can read Hebrew, Persian, Thai, Armenian or Georgian from day one. Tap a whole sentence to see a full translation when you need it. REMEMBER WHAT YOU LOOK UP Words you look up are saved. Review them with spaced repetition (SRS), and watch your known-word count grow as you meet words again without needing a lookup. START FREE The first book in every language is free, with no time limit. ReadNative Pro unlocks the full library, with more books being added in every language, and lets you import your own EPUB books to read with the same tap-to-translate tools. GOOD TO KNOW - Translations and explanations are in English. - Read-along narration is available for the Chinese books (and one Georgian book). Most books are text only. - Offline reading is supported, so a book works on a plane or a train. WHY READING? Short stories give you the same words again and again in new situations, which is how vocabulary sticks. A graded reader keeps the text at a level where you understand most of it, so you read for the story instead of fighting every sentence. Pick a language, open the free book, and read the first chapter today.
