This release answers a question Milduna never asked: what if you already know part of the course? Until now everyone started at lesson 1, and every lesson had to be completed in order before the next one opened. Someone who already knew four hundred words had to redo twelve lessons they knew by heart before reaching the thirteenth. The placement test takes care of that. Thirty words at most, and it drops you straight into the right lesson. It does not pick thirty words at random: it works in steps of three, climbs as long as you keep up, then comes back down to find exactly where your recognition stops, and ends with four words of verification. A real beginner is out in nine questions, with no score shown. Someone who knows the first thirteen lessons gets there in twenty-two. Each card tells you right away whether you were right, and shows the answer you were looking for when you missed it. The romanisation can be turned on inside the test, with the same ABC button as everywhere else. You will find it in three places: on the very first launch, in the Lessons tab while you are still near the start of the course, and in your Account, where the row always says where you stand. One attempt a day. Two things it never does. It never moves you backwards: a lesson you have opened stays open, and a second test that lands lower than your placement changes nothing. And it never marks a word as learnt on your behalf: skipped lessons become "placed", never "completed". Your progress therefore starts from where you really are, and it will climb fast. Also fixed: three pieces of text were breaking mid-word on some screens. The home greeting now keeps its label on one line and the rest on the next, grammar rule titles no longer split from their brackets or their numbers, and the Library intros fit on a small screen.

This version fixes what cost the most: a short session did not count. Milduna offers "5 words, about 3 minutes" inside a lesson that holds forty-five. That is exactly the format of someone learning ten minutes a day. Until now, doing those five words and going back to the home screen credited nothing: not your daily goal, not your streak. You had to reach the final round, out of reach in a short session. Every word now counts as soon as you answer it, the way reviews already did. Your day follows you, not the language. Work done in Korean in the morning still counts when you open Japanese in the afternoon, as your streak and XP already did. The pace you chose now applies to both as well. The quiz no longer traps you. Some questions offered two right answers, separated by a single capital letter or by a synonym: you answered correctly and the screen marked it wrong. No option can be a valid translation of the word being asked any more. And when you get one wrong, the screen also tells you what YOUR answer meant, not just the right one. "Learned word" did not mean the same thing from one screen to the next. The glossary promised seven successful reviews, the counter asked for two, and the list for seven: three numbers for one idea. There is only one now, the one the glossary announces and the seven dots on every word draw. Your estimated level is now read from the words you KNOW, which are far more numerous: that is the vocabulary size these scales measure, not long-term memory. "Back to home" goes home. The morning question stops asking again when you answer "later". The review card says "25 today out of 120 waiting" instead of two numbers that seemed to disagree. The microphone explains what it is for before asking permission, and if refused, it stops offering an action it can no longer perform. The app loads about 800 KB less: it no longer fetches the illustrations of all five languages when you study only one. On Korean content, seven translations are fixed, and conjugated forms in the word-by-word breakdown finally give their meaning. A right answer is also no longer refused for not copying a note in brackets. Finally, the app's dialogs became real dialogs for anyone using a keyboard or a screen reader: they announce themselves, they take focus, and they keep it while open.

This version puts the Korean course in the right order. Until now, Korean lessons followed the dictionary: the first one gave you shop, price, furniture, near, sometimes. Every other language in Milduna opens with hello, thank you, yes, no. Korean does too now, and carries on the same way: pronouns, one to ten, the question words, family, the house, meals. Rare words and proper nouns have moved to the end of the path, where they belong. Your progress comes with you. Lessons you had finished stay finished, lessons you had unlocked stay unlocked, and your word memory does not move: what you owe today is exactly what you owed yesterday. It is the words inside each lesson that are no longer the same. Grammar sentences coming back in the daily review were hard to read. The gapped sentence filled the card without its meaning, under an instruction about something else, and the right answer was the whole explanation — the only long one among three vocabulary words, so you could answer without reading. The sentence now carries its translation underneath, the answers are the competing forms of the same rule, and the correction no longer repeats the sentence back at you. A grammar sentence is no longer handed to you as a word to type out, either. Finally, two entries in the word list held the same Korean word. One of them was a greeting whose second half had slipped into the translation column; it is whole again, with its example sentence and its pronunciation. Two reading details remain. The text on a lesson that is still locked was too faint to read: its number, its word count, and the word "Locked" itself. It stays in the background, and it can be read. And if you have romanization on, an alphabet card no longer hands you the answer before you have looked for it: the letter shows on its own, and its sound waits on the back.

This release fixes the microphone and tidies up what the screens actually tell you. The microphone no longer fails to start. It listens to one thing at a time, it closes when you move on to the next word, and above all it waits until it is really listening before asking you to speak: whatever you said while it was opening was heard by no one. When it does not understand, it finally says which case it is, instead of one message that meant nothing: it did not hear you, it heard you without recognising the word, or it could not reach its service. The bottom bar now sits at the very bottom of the screen, with no text showing underneath. On a right answer, the green flash follows the shape of the card instead of painting a rectangle over it. And among the three answers of a recall, "I knew it" stands out from the other two, just as it does on the cards you flip. On the home screen, the review button finally arrives with everything else. It used to be there before anyone, motionless, while the page rose around it. It now rises in the same movement, once the scene has settled. Two pieces of text were rewritten because they said nothing: the instruction that opens the recognition pass, and the explanation of the mastered-words counter. A word counts as learned once it comes back and you get it right on a later day: nothing can count on the day you first meet it, and the app now says so instead of showing zero without a word. The language you are learning is named in your own language, easier to spot before you can read it. The app now needs an internet connection to start.

This release is a clean-up: the text grows where you learn, and the screens drop what was not helping. The word on the card and the example sentences are noticeably bigger. Inside a lesson, the sentence and the word-by-word breakdown now sit behind two lines you open with a tap: you see the word, you listen to it, and you go looking for the rest when you want it. Frames and pills are gone from most screens, which now read as a single column. Choosing your languages takes two steps, "I speak" then "I am learning": everything fits on screen, even on a small phone. My words shows a denser list, 50 at a time, with buttons big enough for a thumb. And nothing gets cut off any more: Korean words inside an English sentence stay whole, long labels no longer overflow, and the confirmation message no longer covers the button it is talking about. On iPhone, a button you tapped no longer stays lit afterwards.

The card round now opens with a matching board: words on one side, meanings on the other, to pair up. The following passes stay as cards. The board only appears where it makes sense: never in a quiz, a review, or a lesson where two words share the same meaning. Retrying a lesson no longer costs a long video: a short ad you can close after a few seconds. And two ads never run back to back, even of different kinds. "My words" is now a full page, like Home or Lessons. Language, theme and account stay within reach while you browse it. When you create a new language pair, a card tells you what you keep and what starts over. And if you leave a session midway, the app warns you before the round is lost. The grammar rules got a clean list back: the subtitle no longer repeats the title, and titles no longer break in the middle of an expression on iPhone. The seven Library illustrations were redone, with no empty frames. Fixed: the home streak disagreeing with the session, a confirmation opening behind the notebook, the speaker and the star sitting too close, and the "guide me or explore?" question asked again on every language switch.

Already know a lesson? Take its final test right away. You no longer have to work through the levels before you are allowed to prove it: two tries, and the collection is validated. Miss both and you take the course, as before. The levels stay open if you want them anyway. Fill-in-the-blank sentences now take a typed answer, or a spoken one. You write the answer instead of picking it from three buttons, and the microphone only writes down what it hears: you are still the one who decides. Korean no longer breaks in the middle of a word. The browser treated it like Chinese, a script without spaces that can break anywhere. The grammar rules, the quiz sentences and the notebook read better too. Fixed: a streak that went backwards instead of forwards, counters that disagreed with each other, and a review that overflowed the screen.

Missed a lesson today? Your second try now costs one short ad instead of three. This was the last place in the app where ads played back to back. Watching three videos in a row to replay a lesson took longer than the lesson. One is enough. And if you close the ad early, you simply land back on the previous screen, with no error message.

• Learning to read now comes before lesson 1: a question when you open the app, a guide to the romanization, and a screen showing how letters combine (ㄱ + ㅏ = 가). • New: the guided day. A daily programme built to the length you picked, and free browsing whenever you want. • Lessons let you recognise words before producing them, with a hint if you get stuck. • Get one wrong and the right answer shows straight away. • Under each example sentence, a word-by-word breakdown.

Milduna listens to you. • Pronunciation: say the word out loud and the app tells you whether your pronunciation is correct. The microphone also opens during "Listen and repeat", when it is your turn. Nothing is recorded. • Your own words: add a word you met in a show, on a menu, in a song. It lives in its own "Added" panel and joins your daily review. A "Quiz on my words" brings them back. • The Discover screen has been rebuilt: fewer buttons, a bigger word, and a single bar to follow where you are.

What's new in 1.1.0: • New "Night" style, now the main look, alongside Pastel, Paper and Forest; auto mode follows your phone setting. • The "My words" notebook: all your words and your favourites, in two panes. • Illustrated, living home screen, animated mascot, new scenes in the Library. • Redesigned word of the day, animated lesson recaps, smarter quizzes (wrong answers now come from neighbouring words). • App twice as light on first launch. • Anonymous usage statistics, only if you opt in.
