1.4.1 — 12 September 2026

1.4.0 — 11 September 2026

  • New: Added new grammatical class filter to the vocabulary page so you can easily view just the nouns, adverbs or advjectives etc.
  • New: All current vocab from the Dracula progressive immersion mode has been added to the vocabulary page.

1.3.9 — 10 September 2026

  • Fixed: We have made a large number of fixes (nearly 3000!) to the simulated native-level TTS narration. We'd released a previous fix where we noticed that audio for some story words was actually playing the audio file from a completely unrelated word (or sometimes even a full sentence), however we soon came to realise a wider fix was required rather than manually replacing the few instances of the error that we'd found. The reasons for the bug were investigated and have now been resolved so most audio should be correct (including stress emphasis). If you do notice any exceptions to this, please let us know using the bug reporting form.
