The Method

Verbs in the driver's seat

Humans are creatures of action. Master the essential verbs and you'll pick up supporting vocabulary naturally along the way.

Learn through dialogue

Speak in phrases and sentences, not isolated words. Every lesson is a real conversation you'd actually have.

Repeat until it sticks

Infants hear millions of words before speaking. Adults need the same repeated exposure to internalize patterns and speak confidently.

Real-time Feedback

Catch mistakes before they become habits. Real-time fluency tracking keeps you motivated and shows exactly where you're improving.
