What happened in the world this week? Twenty-five winners of maths' highest prize wrote an open letter to AI companies. A Silicon Valley VC spent $35 million on a school that grants no degrees. And the keyboard you type on every day: why are the letters in that strange order? Now you can read it all in English, at your own level. One story, four levels of difficulty. Kids read theirs; adults read theirs; everyone talks about the same thing. TWO TRACKS: REAL NEWS, REAL TECH Five hand-picked reads every week on two main tracks: global news, and AI & frontier tech, plus everyday science and culture across disciplines. Why do make-up workdays exist? Why does AI make mathematicians nervous? Textbook English is a specimen; the English of news and technology is alive. ONE LEVEL FOR EVERYONE, POWERED BY i+1 From Cambridge Young Learners all the way to authentic news English (Aha 0-4). Take a quick placement test (aligned with Lexile) and find your starting point. We follow one principle: input should sit just one step above your level. Too easy is boring, too hard is crushing; just right is addictive. FOR KIDS: READING THAT STARTS WITH “I WANT TO KNOW” Audio warm-ups, key words, read-aloud practice, and three-round challenges. Words you learn quietly reappear in new stories two weeks later. Science, not rote. FOR ADULTS: TEN MINUTES A DAY WITH THE REAL WORLD AI, business, science, health, at a level that fits you. Restart your English from today's news, not from a ten-year-old textbook. FOR FAMILIES: A NEW SHARED TOPIC EVERY WEEK Your kid reads Aha 1, you read Aha 4, and dinner-table conversation writes itself. 【Aha 0 | Start Reading in English from Scratch】 Aha 0 is a level designed for absolute beginners. The youth edition sparks an interest in reading through familiar everyday situations, simple vocabulary, and short sentences. The adult edition follows the same weekly news and technology topics as the higher levels, making real-world stories accessible through simpler English. Whether you’re a child or an adult, there’s a starting point that’s right for you. CURATED BY PROFESSIONALS Our editorial team brings together a former Reuters journalist, TESOL-qualified English educators, and specialist writers in science and AI. Every story, every number, every question is checked to newsroom standards. Read alone, and grow. Read together, and share a world. Beyond English. Across Subjects. Into the World. Aha Time. See you every week. Terms of Use:https://cacademy.ai/agreement/user Privacy Policy:https://cacademy.ai/agreement/privacy

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Aha Time at 15.0 against JuniorGlobe's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
