Your topics and Landeni topics describe where your practice starts. Learn gives you a guided lesson sequence. Vocabulary helps you build the words to use along the way.
Your topics
Practice that starts with your life.
Create a topic around something you want to talk about. You choose the situation; Landeni uses AI to generate exercises for your learning language and level.
When to use it
You have a particular conversation in mind: meeting new colleagues, ordering lunch, talking about a hobby, or preparing for a trip.
How it works
- Give your topic a name. Add an optional description to explain who you’re talking to and what you want to practise.
- Choose how many exercises you want. Landeni prepares a batch, then you can start working through it.
- Speak or type your answers and read the feedback. It checks whether your meaning came across and helps you improve accuracy, tone, and phrasing.
- Return to the topic to continue, revisit earlier exercises, or request another batch.
For example
“Lunch with my new team”
Add: “I want to introduce myself, ask what people like to eat, and order something vegetarian.” That gives your practice a much clearer direction than “food” alone.
Your progress
Your topic keeps your exercise progress and feedback. New batches add more practice; they don’t erase the exercises you’ve already completed.
Landeni topics
A starting point, already thought through.
Landeni topics are prepared by Landeni and organised around situations and language levels. You choose from the catalogue instead of writing your own brief.
When to use it
You want a useful direction for your next practice session, or you’d like to explore situations you might not have thought to create yourself.
How it works
- Open Explore and browse the topics available for your learning language and level.
- Read a topic’s description and any listed goals to see what it covers.
- Start the topic. Landeni prepares your practice exercises from that topic, ready for you to work through with feedback.
- Come back to continue where you left off or review a topic you’ve finished.
For example
Start with introductions
Choose a topic about introducing yourself when you want to practise meeting someone, but don’t have a particular meeting to write a brief for.
Your progress
The topic comes from a shared catalogue, but your exercises and progress belong to you. Starting a topic you’ve already begun returns you to your existing practice.
Learn
A little guidance, from first example to conversation.
Learn takes you through structured lessons with a clear teaching goal. It introduces the language, gives you a chance to use it, and brings it together in context.
When to use it
You want an explanation and a sequence to follow, especially when a situation or way of speaking is new to you.
How it works
- Open Learn to see the published lessons available for your language and level. Availability grows as more lessons are released.
- Choose a topic, enrol, and start the first unlocked lesson.
- Work through Learn, Practise, Understand, and Recap. You can return to completed lessons for review.
- 01
Learn
Meet the language through short explanations and models.
- 02
Practise
Try it yourself with focused exercises and feedback.
- 03
Understand
Follow a conversation and check what you understood.
- 04
Recap
Revisit the key language and take stock of the lesson.
For example
More than saying hello
A greetings lesson can connect an opening, an introduction, and a reply. It can also help you ask someone to repeat a name and bring the encounter to a natural close.
Your progress
Learn saves your place as you complete lesson steps. Finishing a lesson unlocks the next one in its sequence, and reviewing earlier lessons keeps your saved progress. This lesson progress is tracked separately from topic practice and your vocabulary record.
How we build lessons
We start with what someone needs to do in a conversation, then work backwards to the language that makes it possible. Our lesson design draws on the CEFR framework for language levels, language references, and examples of everyday use.
- Teach the exchange
- A greeting needs a reply. An introduction may lead to a question. We connect these turns and make room for misunderstandings, clarification, and natural goodbyes.
- Respect the language
- Politeness, names, and ways of addressing people differ across languages. We build those choices into the situation instead of treating every language as a translation of the same script.
- Keep the next step manageable
- We separate the core language you practise using from regional or less common expressions you may only need to recognise. More complex situations belong in later lessons.
Our work on beginner greetings and introductions applies this approach across 14 languages, from replying to an introduction to correcting a misheard name. It is one part of a curriculum we’re continuing to develop.
Vocabulary
Get to know a word. Then put it to use.
Vocabulary is a place to explore words and how they work. Word cards bring together meanings, pronunciation, examples, and relevant forms or usage notes, depending on the entry.
When to use it
You want to prepare useful words before a lesson, understand a word from practice, or revisit language you’ve already met.
How it works
- Open Vocabulary to browse by topic or search for a word.
- Read the card, listen to available audio, and look at the examples to see the word in a sentence.
- Work through flashcards, or open the vocabulary attached to a practice exercise and return to your answer.
- Visit your learned words to see what you’ve met, including words marked as mastered or needing reinforcement.
For example
Before ordering lunch
Explore food vocabulary and look at how useful words appear in example sentences. Then return to your lunch topic and use them to say what you’d actually like.
Your progress
Moving on after reading a flashcard, or choosing “Got it” on a word in practice, adds it to your learned words. Meeting a word and mastering it are different stages: Landeni tracks correct uses and words that need more practice separately. Reading a card doesn’t complete a lesson.
Start with what you need today.
Bring your own situation, choose a Landeni topic, follow a lesson, or get to know a few useful words. You can move between them as your needs change.
