A2 English.
Elementary.
You already survive in English. Now start to live in it. A2 turns one-word answers into actual conversations.
Free to start. No textbook. No streak shame.
What is A2?
A2, the elementary level.
Hold real conversations, even if they are short.
Who is it for?
Anyone past the absolute basics who can introduce themselves but freezes the moment a stranger replies with a follow-up question.
What you can do at A2
- Communicate in simple, routine tasks on familiar topics.
- Describe your background, immediate environment, and basic personal needs.
- Understand sentences and frequent expressions related to areas of immediate relevance.
- Handle short social exchanges, even if you cannot keep the conversation going alone.

Why A2 matters
Real things you can do once A2 clicks.
Have a 5-minute small-talk chat at a party without panicking.
Tell a story about your weekend in past tense, with mistakes that no one minds.
Watch a slow-paced sitcom and follow the plot even if you miss every third joke.
Read short articles, recipe cards, and friendly emails without a dictionary at your elbow.
How it works
Built for the way memory actually works.
Learn the phrase the way it's actually said.
Every challenge is a 3 to 15 second cut from a real show, news clip, or talk. You hear the rhythm, the stress, and the face behind the words.
An algorithm that times every clip.
An invisible Leitner box runs in the background. Each word comes back at the moment you're about to forget it. Fifty years of memory research, one tap.
Native audio, full speed and slow.
Every word has full-speed and slow-mo native audio. Tap once to copy the pronunciation the way a native actually says it.
Twelve native languages.
Definitions, examples, and grammar notes translate into your native language. Switch any time.

Where do you go from here?
B1 is where English flips from survival to expression. Build a steady A2 base first, and the jump up is much shorter than it looks.
