What you study

Coverage that respects adult learners.

The content is curated for people who want useful range and correct production, not just beginner-friendly novelty.

Curriculum

Curated content with real breadth.

Vocabulary in context: example sentences keep meaning, register, and usage attached.
Verbs across tenses: regular and irregular paradigms are reviewed where adult learners actually trip.
Useful language: collocations, cloze grammar, and situational phrases cover restaurant, doctor, shopping, directions, emergencies, and small talk.
Leveling

CEFR gating from A1 upward.

Choose your level: start at the band that matches your current level instead of restarting from zero.
See the right density: content opens according to your chosen level so beginners are not buried and returners are not bored.
Progress cleanly: level progression is visible in the app and on widgets without turning the process into a game.
How you review

Formats that match the material.

Card types

Basic, Conjugation, and Cloze.

Basic cards handle front-back recall, Conjugation cards pin down infinitive, tense, mood, and pronoun, and Cloze cards keep grammar and vocabulary anchored in context.

Audio

Native-accent pronunciation on every card.

Replay pronunciation instantly, or switch to listening-first review so the sound arrives before the spelling. That keeps the ear involved instead of treating audio like garnish.

Daily flow

Widgets and reminders that stay useful.

Home-screen widgets can surface due count, study streak, level progress, a daily summary, and the next review window. Notifications nudge the habit without pretending the habit is the product.

Ownership

Your data stays yours.

TongueForge is built entirely on Apple frameworks with SwiftUI and SwiftData, which keeps the app fast, private, and dependency-light.

Offline-first

Fully usable without a connection.

On-device by default: your schedules, progress, and content state live locally.
Travel-proof: reviews still work on flights, underground, or anywhere you do not want to depend on network latency.
Portability

Exportable, importable, and low-risk.

Full JSON export/import: move your study data cleanly instead of hoping it stays trapped forever.
Zero third-party dependencies: no SDK sprawl, no supply-chain bloat, and no tracker-shaped surprises in the stack.
Why it works

The feature set follows the method.

Every capability here exists to support better timing, stronger production, cleaner context, and less false confidence. The research logic is the core, not a garnish page.
