Five ways to practise, one vocabulary list

READING

Read a real book

Open a PDF or paste text. Tap any word for a definition in context, hear it read aloud, and save it with one click.

SPEAKING

Talk, then get corrected

Hold a spoken conversation on a topic at your level. Afterwards Arty shows what worked and what to fix.

LISTENING

Watch with clickable subtitles

Pull in a YouTube video, follow the subtitles line by line, and look up anything you didn't catch.

WRITING

Write to a brief

Pick a task — a comment, an essay, a report — write a few hundred words, and get line-by-line corrections.

GRAMMAR

Learn a rule, then drill it

Short explanations from A1 to C2, each with examples and an eight-question drill you can repeat.

WORDS

One list, every source

Words saved while reading, watching or talking land in the same list — and come back in quizzes.

AFTER EVERY SESSION

Feedback that names the mistake

Not a score out of five. Arty quotes what you said, writes the corrected version next to it, and explains the rule behind the change — then hands you the words worth keeping.

  • Fluency, grammar and vocabulary read separately
  • Corrections shown as before / after, with the reason
  • New words go straight to your list
Session feedback screen

No account, ever

There is no sign-up, no profile and no server of ours to hold your progress. You open the app and start.

Your files stay yours

Books, saved words and session history live in a local database on your own machine. Copy it, back it up, delete it.

You pick the model

Arty talks to whichever provider you give it a key for. Pay them cents per session, or point it at a model on your own hardware.

Reading a PDF with the dictionary panel open

BRING YOUR OWN MATERIAL

The novel you are already reading

Drop in a 900-page PDF and Arty keeps the chapters, your page and your bookmarks. Words you look up are highlighted the next time you meet them, so a re-read shows you what stuck.

Free, and staying free

Arty is a hobby project released under the GPL. No trials, no tiers, no upsell — you pay only whatever your model provider charges you.
