190 written lessons across six courses. Two core ones, three built around something you already do, and one on the part of the language that trips up almost everybody.

Open right now: days 1 to 30 of the daily course and days 1 to 3 of each of the others, plus every chart, all 831 words, the grammar reference, the guides, the review deck and the printables. The rest is written and is being checked by a native speaker before it opens. Nothing is for sale yet.

Between lessons

Two things run alongside whichever course you pick. The review deck schedules every word you have met so it comes back just before you would forget it. The word games play the vocabulary from the daily lessons: choose how far you have got and you get a speed round, flashcards and a match game built from exactly those words.
