One little bird. A world for every language.

Each language gets its own world, built from scratch with its own places, people, voices and jokes.

Why it sticks

  • A story, not a list

    People remember stories better than explanations. A 2021 review of studies with over 33,000 people found exactly that.

  • Out loud

    Lessons and games ask you to say new words out loud. Words you say stick better than words you only read.

  • Back before you forget

    Short reviews bring words back just as they start to fade. Hundreds of memory experiments show that spacing beats cramming.

Research: Mar et al. 2021 (stories), MacLeod et al. 2010 (saying words aloud), Cepeda et al. 2006 (spacing).
