Frequently asked questions
Is everything free?
Yes. No signup, subscription or paid download is required. Start at Practice.
Does a level or score show my CEFR level?
No. Reading levels are approximate editorial guides. Game levels and scores describe that practice activity; they are not an official assessment.
Who speaks the recordings?
The examples use synthesized speech from Microsoft Azure Speech, with the voice Andrew. See About our audio.
Where is my progress saved?
In this browser when local storage is available. It does not follow you to another browser or device. You can view and reset local progress. Practice also works without saved progress.
Can I practise without a microphone?
Yes. The site does not record or score your voice. Listen and repeat independently, or use text-based vocabulary and reading activities. See accessibility options and known limits.
Can the IPA lookup pronounce every word?
No. It uses a small curated lexicon and known-base rules. Unsupported words remain visibly unknown. Your pasted text stays in your browser.
Share this result on the public leaderboard?
Your streak, XP, saved words and answers stay private. Publishing is optional; a score-removal key is kept in this browser. Public-score privacy
