↑ hover a word. that's the whole idea.↑ tap any word. that's the whole idea.
Nothing changed but you.
Open a YouTube video or scroll the Shorts feed. oscar reads the subtitles and colour-codes every word you don't know yet.
One tap pauses the scene and opens the dictionary — meaning, stress, forms, an AI explanation of this exact sentence. No tabs, no flow broken.
One tap turns the moment into a flashcard — screenshot, audio, sentence and all. The built-in spaced-repetition system brings it back right before you'd forget it.
Hover any card — every one of them is a tiny film. Tap any card — every one of them is a tiny film.
YouTube videos with subtitles you can tap, a Shorts feed that checks you every few clips, and RuTube for Russian.
Pick a video and oscar finds the words you're missing, then turns them into a short Course stop. Its cards replay the exact moment.
A walk through the country of your language: Paris, Rome, Seoul, Stockholm. A building per lesson, voiced scenes, and a three-minute level check, so you start where you really are.
Under the street, a lift goes down into grammar: one stop per rule, run by a local granny who reads every answer aloud. Pass her final test for a certificate.
For Japanese: 3,000 kanji, each built from its parts and drawn with your finger. The ones in your own words come first.
Every card you make goes into a pack. Rip it open to see what you got, from Core to Mega rare, and complete a set for every unit.
A full spaced-repetition system with the modern FSRS scheduler. Cards carry the screenshot, the audio, the sentence.
Meaning, stress and every form of the word, stored on the phone itself, so a lookup needs no signal.
Nine classics in your language are already on the shelf; add your own texts and PDFs. Turn pages like a book, tap a word, save it as a card. Point the camera at a paper page and it becomes text you can tap.
A voice coach who knows your level and speaks just a little above it. Talk hands-free, get corrected, and speak with more confidence.
Pull the friends feed up from Home: what they watched, the words they learned, the achievements they unlocked, and a reaction for each.
Over 100 achievements, most of them hidden. Many unlock outfits for your oscar: capes, hats, glasses, frames.
Twelve today. The plan: every language on earth — until there are no language barriers left to break.
