  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Account: sign in with Apple to keep your learned words, course progress and streak in an account, and pick up where you left off on a new phone. Signing in is optional: without it, everything stays on this device. • Voice conversation: in Chat, tap the wave button and speak Tatar. Pause, and your message sends itself; your partner answers out loud. You can hide the text and practise by ear. • Streak freeze: once a week, a missed day won't reset your streak; the freeze kicks in on its own. You'll find it on the Streak screen. • Course part two, "Keep the conversation going": 16 lessons on the past and future, the city and everyday life, with a final test. It's an early draft, and the lesson texts are still being checked. • The evening reminder now tells you how many words are due for review, and the home screen shows how many words you've learned next to your streak. • Confetti for a good result, and clearer new audio for 137 words.
