Arty

How Arty can help you learn a language

01 · READING

Read a book or study a text

  • Open a PDF, a Word document, or just paste in any text you want to work through.
  • The dictionary is built into the reader: click a word for its base form and its sense in context, or select a sentence to have that translated instead.
  • No jumping to a separate translation app and back — the lookup happens beside the text, and one more click saves the word to your list.
  • Chapter contents and bookmarks keep a long book where you left it.

02 · SPEAKING

Just speak

  • Hold a conversation with Arty on a range of topics — politics, science, literature, or nothing in particular — without any fear of getting it wrong.
  • It meets you at your level, from A1 to C2, and keeps the conversation going rather than letting it stall.
  • Supportive but assertive: Arty pushes you to say more instead of quietly accepting a three-word answer.
  • Ask for feedback and it will be given — what worked, what to fix, and how to say it better.
  • Speak, type, or both, switching mid-session, with a dictionary panel alongside for the word you can't find.

03 · LISTENING

Tune your ear

  • Find something worth listening to by searching YouTube from inside the app.
  • Keep your favourite shows and channels in a library of your own, sorted into folders and bookmarked where you stopped.
  • No subtitles on a video? Arty generates them from the audio, so nothing is off limits.
  • Look up any word you didn't catch while you watch — the video waits — and save it to your vocabulary in the same click.
  • Slow the speech down to 0.75× when it runs away from you, and set the subtitles to whichever of five sizes you can read comfortably.

04 · WRITING

Unleash your creativity

Writing is tough — which is exactly why it teaches you so much. It forces you to structure your thinking, to hunt for the right word rather than the first one, and to make mistakes. Learning from those mistakes is the way.

Write a text — to a brief with a level and a word count, or on whatever you like — and Arty gives you feedback on it, in kinder language than the mistakes deserve.

05 · GRAMMAR

Drill the rule

Read the concept first and make sense of it: what the form signals, the forms themselves, and where it usually goes wrong — with examples glossed word by word, at every level from A1 to C1.

Then practise it on generated exercises. Every topic ends in an eight-question drill that tells you why the right answer is right, keeps your last score, and can be run again whenever the rule slips.

06 · WORDS & QUIZZES

Discover, remember and train

Discover: the dictionary looks up a single word or a whole sentence, in either direction, and gives you the base form and the sense that fits the text in front of you.

Remember: everything you save while reading, watching or talking lands in one vocabulary list — grouped by the day you met each word or sorted A–Z, with its part of speech and the sense you looked up.

Train: vocabulary quizzes bring those words back before they fade. Quiz the last three days, the last month, or the whole list.

USAGE STATISTICS

Track your time

Arty counts your practice time per activity, so a week of "studying" that was mostly listening shows up as exactly that. You get a total, a daily average and the days you actually practised, by day, week, month or year.

SETTINGS

Set it up first

Arty ships without a model of its own, so there is a little setting up to do before the first conversation. The important part is the LLM: paste in a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — or point Arty at a model running on your own hardware — then choose which model answers, and a voice if you want Arty to speak.

The rest of the settings page is done once and forgotten: the language you are learning and the one it is explained in, which dictionary is asked first, the interface language, light or dark, and a backup that runs on a schedule you set.
