On a card the word stands alone, without context, and the card itself is the cue: you see it and recall the translation. In speech there is no cue - the word arrives inside a phrase, in the right tense and case. Stories and dialogues put the word in exactly those conditions.
Story: a word inside a coherent text
Every story is built from the words in your deck - the ones you are learning right now. You read a coherent text and meet familiar words in a new setting: in another case, paired with a verb, inside a set phrase.
- Highlighted words are tappable: the translation appears.
- Any word can be selected and sent to your deck through “Learn”.
- Grammar sinks in as background: you see the correct form before you learn the rule.
Dialogue: the same speech, but in short lines
A dialogue reads the same way, only the text is split into the lines of two speakers. The translation of a line is hidden under a blur: first you read it in the language you're learning, then you check yourself with a tap. Highlighted words work as in a story.
Exercises under every material
Both a story and a dialogue have two exercises underneath, on the same words: “Word matching” - pair up word and translation, and “Compose sentences” - build a phrase from the text yourself. Reading is half the job; the other half is in the exercises.
What counts as a result
A word moves up the mastery levels only on the learning and review cards: the exercise under the material does not move them. The result here is a different one - a word you managed to use in a live phrase, not just recognise in a list.
