Flashcards show a word and hide the meaning until you commit to an answer, then track which ones you keep missing and bring those back sooner. Match is a timed pairs grid. Letter forms, on the Arabic page, drills the one thing that makes Arabic hard to read at the start: every letter changes shape depending on where it sits in the word.

Listen & type reads a word or sentence aloud and asks you to spell it, which is the fastest way to find the gap between what you recognise and what you can produce. Build the sentence gives you the words as tiles and makes you put them in order — word order is where a confident beginner usually slips. Write it is a tracing pad: the character sits behind the canvas in grey and you draw over it with your finger, then it scores how much of the shape you covered and how far outside the lines you went. Type it is a keyboard trainer that measures words per minute and accuracy while you type real vocabulary, never “asdf asdf” forever — and on the Arabic page it puts a full Arabic keyboard on screen showing which key each letter sits under, because nobody here owns a keyboard with Arabic caps on it.

Say it plays the phrase in a native voice, then listens to you say it and scores the attempt word by word, showing which words did not land. Hear the tone, on the Chinese page, plays a character and asks which of the four Mandarin tones it was — recognising tones has to come before producing them.

Speech scoring needs Chrome, Edge or Safari and your permission to use the microphone. Where the browser cannot do it, the drill still plays the phrase for you to repeat; it just cannot mark you.
