Lessons use traditional characters and the words people use in Taiwan.
Read with zhuyin or pinyin over the characters.
When Taiwan reads a word differently, you see the Taiwan reading first and the mainland one beside it.
Regenerative Review™ brings saved words back in new lessons, so you review them by reading. You can also export them to Anki.
Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.

Web novels and books from Taiwan can't become lessons. Send Poppy a screenshot of a page, and she explains it sentence by sentence.
A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.
