New: Picture Speaking. Pick a level from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, let the roulette choose a photo, and describe it in English right after the countdown. You can practice with your own photos too. Also in this update: edit or delete a word right from a review card, simpler deck management and word adding, a shorter diary-habits page and clearer up/down changes in Mimi's letter, an easier-to-spot today in the voice diary calendar, and refreshed Debate and My situations screens.

You can now use your own photos in Describe. Choose a photo, describe it aloud, and give permission before sending it for feedback. This update also makes pronunciation targets easier to see, improves journal feedback, and refines review summaries, My Situations, and Mimi’s letters. Focus settings and the app picker are easier to use.

New: Focus mode. Choose apps that distract you, such as social media or games, and they stay blocked each day until you study in Lanclo. Finish today's lesson, a word review, a journal entry or a conversation, and they open until midnight. Turn it on in Account › Focus mode. It runs on your device with Apple's Screen Time; nothing about your apps leaves your iPhone.

This update refines the launch screen and conversation controls, filters out feedback that only repeats your wording, and improves recovery when practice audio is interrupted or unavailable. We also fixed the free AI creation limit in My Words; manual entries and dictionary lookup remain available.

Preview a conversation situation before starting, choose another, or create and reuse your own. Category progress now shows completed situations. We also improved text display reliability, including French accents, and corrected daily lesson completion for eligible members.

• Letters are now Week, Month and Year. Every Sunday, Mimi studies your week of practice and sends you a letter. • A new weekly letter plays as a short animated reel, once, when you open Letters. • After your first lesson, Mimi sends you a sample letter so you can see what is coming. • Weekly letters now show your study time. • Fixed word playback sometimes playing the whole sentence. • The native-language list now shows Mandarin (Simplified), Mandarin (Traditional) and Cantonese separately. • Fixes in voice setup, the voice journal, card layout editing and the monthly letter calendar.

• Fixed an issue that repeatedly asked you to set up an AI voice you had already registered. • Made onboarding and the first pronunciation check clearer. • Improved learning streak tracking and lesson completion feedback. • Added English accent selection and a way to share your preferences with Mimi for free talk. • Improved assessment results and practice button layouts, including readability of longer text.
