Topics
Every lesson is about something you chose.
Pick a kind of lesson, type your topic, and we write it at your level in the language you’re learning.
Real world
Real topics, checked the day you make them.
News, Game Day, True Crime, History and Learn lessons start from current sources, so you learn the words people actually use about them today.
News
What is happening now. You learn the words in this week’s headlines while they’re still news.
Try: The Mars sample mission
True Crime
A real case, told plainly: what happened, who was involved and what is known. Police and courtroom words come up again and again.
Try: The 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa
Game Day
Your team, a match or a whole season. Learn how fans really talk: scores, transfers, injuries and the league table.
Try: Liverpool’s season so far
History
A moment from the past, told as a story with real people in it, from the night it happened to what came after.
Try: The night the Berlin Wall fell
Learn
How something works, explained clearly: science, money, food, technology or anything else you’ve wondered about.
Try: How noise-canceling headphones work
Motivational
A short lift for your day, in words you can use about your own goals, habits and fresh starts.
Try: Starting again after a hard week
Stories
Stories you’ll want to continue.
Any story can run over several parts. The same characters return in each one, so the words you met in part one turn up again in part two, and that is how they stick.
Mystery
A puzzle with clues in every part. You’ll want the next lesson just to find out who did it.
Try: A missing violin on a night train to Vienna
Fantasy
Magic, quests and other worlds, as strange and as long as you want them to be.
Try: A mapmaker who finds a city that isn’t on any map
Romance
Two people, one story. Everyday words for feelings, plans, misunderstandings and making up.
Try: Two rival bakers on the same street in Lisbon
Horror
Something in the dark, told slowly enough that every word lands.
Try: The new apartment has one door nobody can open
Sleep Stories
Slow and calm, for winding down at the end of the day. Gentle words and unhurried sentences.
Try: An evening walk through a quiet seaside town
