French, Italian and Swedish now have written courses, like Finnish, Spanish, Croatian and German: 20 beginner lessons each, written ahead and checked before you see them. Picked a language we haven't written a course for yet, like Turkish or Japanese? Your lessons now get written for you as you go, one at a time. Before, the app said your lessons didn't come through. The course map is a simple list now, so you can see a dozen lessons at once. An app update no longer restarts a lesson you're in the middle of. When a question asks you to type, the chat scrolls up first so nothing hides behind the keyboard. Ready for iOS 27.

Learn is a chat now. Dax talks to you one line at a time, asks your name, and your first lesson starts right there in the same conversation: a picture, a few lines, then a question. The reactions under your answers say what the words meant and whether it worked. German lessons are now written ahead of time and checked before anyone sees them, so every German learner gets the same lesson instead of one made up on the spot. New words come on cards you can flip through before anything asks you about them. Adding another language? Its first lesson is free, even on a day you have already had yours. You can also delete a language now, from What are you learning. Lessons you did before the chat are still there: tap the clock next to the map. Also fixed: the stars and waves at the end of a lesson now always show, and a long chat no longer goes blank after you answer.

Croatian and Finnish have been rebuilt. Both courses now follow the order a published textbook teaches in, so numbers, days and the words you actually need turn up early instead of halfway through. Each lesson says its rule in a sentence you can read, shows you the word changing rather than hoping you notice, and ends with a line you can go and use. If you had already started one of these courses, the new one is waiting for you and every lesson you finished is still there under your earlier lessons. Every lesson used to open with the same game. Croatian now draws on twelve different ones across the course and Finnish on ten, and no two lessons in a row play the same pair. When a code to sign in didn't arrive, the app would say it couldn't send one, having already sent it. It tries again before saying anything now. Same on a patchy connection anywhere else: a request that dies in the air gets a second go instead of an error. Two smaller things you might have hit. Words in a lesson no longer show the same meaning twice, so the forms you are meant to be telling apart look different. And the listening screens stopped asking you to sort words on a screen with nothing to sort. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Lessons don't look like a list any more. Your course is a path you climb: five stops at a time, the ones you've finished sitting behind you, the next one waiting, and the rest locked until you reach them. Tap a stop to see what it teaches. Home drops you straight onto the path, so starting a lesson is two taps. Two small things that had been wrong for a while: the buttons you tap to say whether you got a card right were different heights with the words shoved left, and back arrows sat closer to the edge of the screen than everything below them. Both fixed. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Limits run by the day now, not the week. On the free plan that's a lesson and three speaking turns every day; on Lite it's three lessons and fifteen turns. Nothing left to wait a week for. Speak has been flattering you. Say something wrong and it would write down the correct version, tell you well done, and move on. Lovely way to learn nothing. It now writes down what you actually said, mistakes and all, and shows you how it should have gone, and if it couldn't make you out it says so instead of guessing. The coach starts talking without the long awkward pause too, and the proper voices are back after a spell of your phone's robot one filling in. If our voice service ever falls over again, a backup takes over by itself. The buy screen behaves itself. It stops offering a second subscription to people already paying, stops calling you a free user when you aren't, stops waving a discount that doesn't apply to the plan you picked, and stops stepping in front of you when you haven't hit any limit. The Premium tab disappears once you're paying. The deck we hand you at the start no longer counts against your three. And it doesn't sulk for the rest of the session when your connection wobbles as you open the app. Listen was clipping the last syllable off some Finnish words, so they sounded like something else entirely. Fixed. After your first lesson the app now checks the level actually suited you. And there's a fox dancing on the sign-in screen, because a still one was sitting there doing nothing. If you never found it: decks can be merged with a swipe, and the app will say so once. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Tidy up your decks: pick a few, tap Merge, give the result a name, and they become one — cards, streaks and favourites all move across. Adding several cards in a row no longer boots you back to the deck after every one; the form just clears and waits for the next, and if you're offline it says so instead of pretending to save. Your level is easier to find and finally explains itself — "Just starting", "Conversational" or "Near-fluent", each with a line about who it's for — and it shows under your language so you can see it at a glance. Underneath, the app moved to a newer foundation, which keeps it running smoothly on the latest phones. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Study sessions are longer now: thirty cards instead of ten, and you can pick your own number in Settings. There's a new way to review as well, where you see the English first and have to come up with the word yourself. Harder, but that's the point. Renaming a deck no longer hides the box behind the keyboard. Speak holds up better when the AI stumbles, so you're less likely to be left watching the dots. And the app reads better in twenty languages after a proofread, including a few spots where the wording quietly assumed you were a man. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Free practice is a lot more generous: a fresh lesson every single day, instead of one and then a long wait. Getting started is quicker too, with ready-made first decks for the most popular languages, so there's no more watching a spinner before your first word. Finnish had a careful proofread and around thirty corrections. Speak now tells you when the coach can't answer instead of leaving you watching the typing dots. Reminders are easier to turn on and no longer need an account. Switching off tracking or sound now sticks when you sign back in, deleting a language really does remove everything, and the upgrade screen shows the price you'll actually be charged, with a cheaper monthly option next to it. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Building sentences in Finnish is fairer now, so the many ways Finnish lets you shuffle words around all count as right instead of getting marked wrong. Speaking practice asks for your mic at a friendlier moment and no longer leaves you stuck if you'd turned it down earlier. New here? Your very first lesson now nudges you back with five words worth a quick review. Signing up is steadier too, and there's a spiffy new fox waiting to greet you at launch. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Lessons got a proper sprucing up: the listen button is bigger and sits right up front where your thumb expects it, examples are easier to follow, and pattern cards keep their grammar notes neatly in their own spot. Adding a new language is sturdier now too, so if something hiccups you can just try again instead of landing on an empty screen. You'll also notice some fresh art around the app, including a bigger, prouder mascot. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Fixed a bug where signing out could leave you stuck instead of taking you back to the welcome screen. Sorry if that tripped you up. This release also cleans up a batch of smaller things: setting up a new language now saves your level and builds the right lessons from the start, switching languages keeps everything in sync, and the word-sorting exercises lay out more neatly. Plus the usual small fixes and wording tidy-ups.

Fixed a crash that could happen when opening the app. Sorry for the trouble. This release also cleans up a batch of smaller things: your lessons now update to match your language when you switch, dark mode reads correctly across Settings, and the guided walkthrough is smoother.

Bug fixes and polish: improved paywall readability, fixed study button contrast, smoother setup/profile handling, better audio retry handling, and reduced noisy fallback errors.

Writing practice finally talks back. When you write an answer now, it checks it on the spot and tells you whether you nailed it or what to fix, instead of just quietly saving it and leaving you guessing. Building sentences from word tiles feels nicer too: the tiles settle into place instead of bouncing around, and once they're down you can drag them to reorder. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

This one is mostly reliability work, so the paragraph leans on the catch-all but calls out the real user-facing win (generation no longer falling over on a bad connection, and the loading copy being honest). This release is mostly about making things steadier behind the scenes. Generating flashcards and your starter lessons now shrugs off a shaky connection instead of giving up, so the stuff you ask for actually shows up, and a hiccup mid-generation won't quietly cost you a card you never got. The loading messages are a little more honest about what's happening while you wait, too. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Two big ones. Finnish now goes all the way from your first words up to upper-intermediate, so there's a real path to keep climbing instead of running out of lessons. And Arabic dialects sound a lot more natural: the words you read and hear now keep their proper spoken form, matching how the dialect is actually spoken instead of getting clipped. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Finnish just got a lot bigger. The course used to stop after the basics, and now it runs all the way up to upper-intermediate, so there's a real path to keep climbing instead of running out of lessons. Speaking practice sounds more at home too: each dialect now talks in its own regional voice, and you can pick the one you're actually learning. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Speaking practice got some polish. Tapping Speak before you've made an account now gives you a friendly nudge to sign up instead of an error, and the sign-up box stays put above the keyboard instead of hiding behind it. The recap at the end of a session looks a lot cleaner too. Plus a bunch of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.
