How it works

One home, every day.

Friki opens on what is worth your time today. Do as much as you have time for, and everything you do shapes what comes next.

01

Open Friki.

Today's practice, what the coach has noticed, your flashcards, Listening and the Skill Map, all on one screen.

02

Do what you have time for.

A session is sized to the time you set, and then it is over. Get something wrong and Friki reads how it was wrong, not just that it was.

See what it noticed.

The coach tells you in plain words what keeps tripping you up and what to do about it, and your next session leans on it.

Coach's Notes: what keeps tripping you up and what to do about it

It starts from what you tried to say.

Whenever you need a sentence, type it in the Translation Lab in either language. You get the Spanish back, with alternatives when a word has more than one honest reading. Tap any word for its meaning and a Save button. Tap a dotted one and Friki also names the rule behind it, quoting the word that justifies it.

The words you save become flashcards, and the grammar your translations keep reaching for feeds into your practice.

Why it works

What makes it tick.

It starts from you, not from a syllabus.

What you practise next comes from three places at once: the grammar your own translations keep reaching for, the mistakes you actually make in exercises, and the skills you choose to prioritise on the Skill Map. The mix shifts with your strengths and weaknesses, so no two learners get the same session. Let it steer, or take the wheel and pin what matters to you.

Futuro: the forms keep coming up a little inverted (about 7 of your last 9 tries). Your next practice session will show if it stuck.

A wrong answer is read, not counted.

The wrong half of haber is a different mistake from a wrong participle, which is different again from reaching for the indefinido where "today" wants the perfecto, and Friki tells them apart. Future exercises are written for the mistake you actually made, the correction says what the sentence meant and why the other form was right, and the coach puts it in plain words.

Targeted advice.

Everything the app notices ends up as a recommendation you can act on: which skills your own translations keep leaning on, which half of a tense keeps slipping and how often, what you are prioritising, and what you are ready to start. So when it shows up in practice, you'll be better.

Subjuntivo perfecto: it's the haber half that keeps slipping (about 5 of your last 8 tries). Your participles are fine.

Coach's Notes: what keeps tripping you up and what to do about it

All of your Spanish, on one map.

Every tense, rule and word family is a place on a map, so you can see everything there is to learn and where you are in it. Zoom out for the shape of the language; zoom in and pick. Read the lesson behind a skill, push it up the queue, or leave it for later. The order is yours, wherever you are in your Spanish.

What's inside

The rest of the box.

Listening

Real conversations, at your level.

Short everyday scenes from A1 to B1, with new ones each day. Slow them down or turn the text on whenever you like, and answer the questions once you have heard the whole thing.

Saved words

The words you chose, until they stick.

Each word you save becomes a flashcard. They come back just before you would forget them. Get one right and the wait grows; miss it and it comes back sooner.

Lessons

A lesson behind every skill.

The big idea, the forms in a table, the uses with real examples. Written to be read in a couple of minutes, not studied.

Flashcards

Every verb form, on a schedule.

Practise your conjugations with flashcards. Each answer decides when a card comes back: Again returns within the session, and the better you know a form, the longer it waits, up to months. You will stop seeing conjugations you know well.
