Our Approach
The approach of this app is the natural approach that a person takes when learning a new language:
- Exposure: Hearing and reading the language makes new neural pathways in the learner’s brain dedicated to this language.
- Application: Applying both new and existing knowledge of the language is essential to growth. Application
- Review: Every form of knowledge requires review. Review strengthens existing neural connections and leads to a firm grip on the knowledge.

|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Exposes the new language to the user in the form of contrived examples, e.g., fabricated stories. | Lets the user choose their interests and generates real-time stories while also filling the story with words that the user is currently reviewing. |
| Application | When users do some Q&A, they don’t receive any insight as to why they got the answer right or wrong. And if they do receive any insight, it’s pre-recorded cookie-cut answers. | When users do some Q&A, they receive dynamic feedback intended to address the underlying core issue that may benefit the user. |
| Review | Normally, users are shown a list of things they have learned in the past and are asked if they still remember. | We use a method called interactive review, where the user is prompted to use previously reviewed words but in a new way. This could be using the reviewed words to create new stories. |
