How a Fluent Forever lesson works

What you do
Start with short videos and ear training on the sounds of the language, then build a flashcard for each new word yourself, choosing a picture for it, and review them on a spaced-repetition schedule; later the words come back inside sentences.
What comes back
Automatic: exercises are marked, and speech recognition scores how you say words. No person checks your work.
Not included
Offline lessons or stated CEFR levels.

How a lesson works in a vocabulary app

In a vocabulary app you see a word with a picture, try to recall it, and the app brings it back days later before you forget. Drawn to explain the kind of app, not taken from any app's screens.
