Lexie alongside Duolingo

A full course teaches you a language. Lexie drills the parts that won't stick.

Runs on your phone

Free to download.

Progress: today's accuracy and streak, progress by category for numbers and verbs, and seasonal events

Which one do you need?

If you are starting a language from zero, a full course such as Duolingo or Babbel is the better starting point. Come to Lexie when you are stuck on the tricky patterns: numbers you can't say fast enough, verb forms you keep getting wrong.

A pet, not a streak

Lexie was built after its maker found streak anxiety tiring. The blob is happier when you practise, and it doesn't punish you for a day off.

What runs where

After the first download, everything runs on your phone. Drills, voice recognition and the blob's reactions all work without a network connection.

Practise

Three ways to drill

Quiz for quiet practice, voice for speaking, listen for the ear.

Number practice

Choose Practice: numbers, verbs, words, or listen and learn, plus today's hunt, talk with Lexie, my dictionary and postcard

Questions

Is Lexie a Duolingo alternative?

Not a replacement. Lexie is a focused drill game for numbers and verb conjugation, best used alongside a full course.

Does Lexie need the internet?

Only for the first download. After that everything runs locally, including voice recognition.
