Every lesson is short scenes you build by hand
No letters to tick. Learners build the sentence, put it in order, find the mistake, and the scene answers back.
Order
Put the words in order; a nearly right order still earns partial credit.
Find the mistake
Mark the wrong word with the highlighter.
Sort
Drop each card in the right box.
Match
Pair each word with its natural partner.
Reply
Someone talks to you; choose the most natural reply.
Type the form
The base word is given; type the right form. A missing accent costs a little, not everything.
Pick all that fit
More than one can be right; a wrong pick cancels a right one.
Coming next
SoonRewrite
Rewrite the sentence with the structure given; key words and closeness both count.
Word bank
Share the bank's words among the gaps in a text, each one once.
Marko's voice and pronunciation check
Marko helps out loud, listens to you say it and corrects your pronunciation.
Every lesson is built from data; the engine plays it.
The teacher describes it, Tebşo plans the scenes, the engine draws the boards, and everything is checked before it goes out.
- 1DescribeThe teacher writes the topic, the level and the class.
- 2PlanTebşo writes the scenes, the hidden key and a sample path for every band.
- 3BuildThe engine draws the scenes on the board, with instructions in three languages.
- 4CheckSample paths must land in their bands, and every language must carry the same keys.
- 5PublishThe lesson goes to a class; results flow into Tebşo's report.
Try the pieces
The real engine, real lessons: pick a piece and play it.

Quality of the answer, not speed.
Each scene gives a quality between 0 and 1. The lesson is their mean, and it lands in one of four bands.

Learning: Spanish · Instructions: English, Turkish · 5 scenes · ~5 minGrammatical gender, the hard casesC1El or la?English nouns have no gender, so this is the one thing about a Spanish noun English never trains you to notice. On the copy desk of a local paper in Cádiz, six scenes take you through the nouns whose ending or article misleads, and the ones whose meaning turns on el or la.
