What the app will add

A checklist gets things done. Belonging takes words. That's what the app is for.

  • Your sentences, in natural English

    Type or say what you actually need this week, at the pharmacy, the DMV or the school gate. The app gives it back the way people here really say it, with clear audio.

  • Short, gentle listening loops

    Bounded sessions that loop your own phrases, then stop. Built to be ADHD- and dyslexia-friendly, so a tired brain can still make progress.

  • Checked by real teachers

    Native-speaking teachers verify the sentences, so what you practice is what you'll hear on the street.

The same engine already teaches Bulgarian at BecomeBulgarian. For adults, 18 and over.
