FAQ
Frequently asked questions
General
How do I start learning?
Pick a Learning Deck, explore words with images, transliteration, and audio, then review as the app brings words back.
Do I need to know the Persian script before learning?
No. Transliteration, audio, IPA, and alphabet lessons support you from day one.
Are pronunciations spoken by native speakers?
Yes, every audio recording is voiced by a native Farsi speaker.
How can I improve my pronunciation?
Listen to native audio, repeat at your own pace, and reinforce sound and meaning with flashcards.
How can I support my learning journey?
Practice a few words daily and revisit favorites, review-needed words, or the I Don't Know list.
Children
Is this app suitable for children?
Yes. It is ad-free, simple to navigate, voice-guided, uses friendly imagery, and Child Mode hides words marked not kid friendly.
Word Learning System
How does the learning system work?
It uses spaced repetition to predict when you may forget each word and schedule reviews just in time.
What are the learning stages?
New, Introduced, Familiar, Learned, Solid, Mastered, and Ostad, based on the next review interval.
How does a word move to a higher stage?
Quiz answers update predicted recall. Strong recall increases intervals; weaker recall shortens them.
What does Mastered mean?
Strong long-term recall at long intervals, but it can drop if you miss the word later.
What happens if I forget a word?
The schedule shortens, the stage can drop, and repeated struggle may tag it as Improve.
Why don't I see every word every day?
Spaced reviews are more effective than seeing everything daily.
Can I force a word to Mastered or Ostad?
No. Mastery reflects memory, not clicking.
How does the app choose quiz words?
Due words first, struggling words more often, strong words less often, and new words only when there is room.
What is the scheduler tracking?
Retrievability, stability, and difficulty for each word.
How is the next review date calculated?
From your answer and the word's memory values; better recall means longer intervals.
Can I change the pace of reviews?
Yes, through Exercise settings intensity presets.
Do same-day reviews count?
Yes.
Can I reset my learning progress?
Yes, in My Profile. It is not reversible.
Lesson Learning System
How is this app based on CEFR?
CEFR guides what learners should understand and do; the app turns that into small practical lessons.
What is the difference between the A1 levels?
A1 is split into smaller steps, from guided early lessons to more independent later lessons.
How does Lesson Mastery work?
It reflects how confidently you understand, recall, and reuse a lesson later.
What do you do with voice recordings?
They support speaking practice, playback, and spoken checks in some activities.
How long is my voice recording saved, and where?
Try-it recordings stay on-device during the lesson and are deleted when replaced or when the lesson closes. AI feedback recordings are used briefly and deleted automatically.
Can I use voice recording offline?
Some recording and playback works offline; full spoken checks need internet.

What extra information does each word include?
