how it works

  • 1 · one dot a day

    Each day is a dot on your path. Join them up and watch the picture grow.

  • 2 · tiny bites

    A day is about 14 bites of 1–3 minutes: a warm-up, words, quick quizzes, writing, a sentence, a game. Stop between any two.

  • 3 · play to remember

    Cards come back just before you forget them. Games and real dialogues make it stick.

  • 4 · take it with you

    Every course has printable PDFs with words, patterns and practice.
