• Four new scenes. Parent & Toddler: the pram, the swings and the slide, bath time and naps, and what other parents and grandmothers at the playground say (Cik jūsu mazajam ir gadu?). Apartment Block: water meter readings, a leak from the flat upstairs (No griestiem tek ūdens!), the lift, the rubbish bins and the neighbours. Airport & Flying: check-in, security, a delayed or cancelled flight, passport control and a suitcase that didn't arrive (Mans čemodāns neatlidoja.). Sport & Sauna: a gym membership, a yoga class, the pool, basketball and hockey with friends, and the pirts (Vai uzmest vēl garu?). • The ladder goes on: Sport & Sauna unlocks at level 30. • Telling the time: half past three is pusčetri — "half of four" — with a new lesson. • Three more lessons: adverbs (ātri, labāk), hearsay with esot (Viņš esot slims — apparently he's ill) and calling someone by name (Jāni, nāc ēst!). 39 lessons in all. • More to hear and say: the dentist, taking a small child to the doctor, what relatives and hosts say to you at the table, and new colours, prepositions and feelings. • The deck now holds 1862 cards across 59 scenes: 269 of them are lines said to you, and 59 come with a feminine form. Paldies for learning with us!

• Four new scenes. Work & Office: working from home, running ten minutes late, meetings that move, sending something by tomorrow, and the lines your boss and HR say (Vai varat uz brīdi ienākt pie manis?). Clothes Shopping: sizes, the changing room, "it's a bit tight", exchanging for another size, and what the shop assistant says (Vai varu jums palīdzēt?). Hairdresser & Services: a haircut the way you want it (Sānos mazliet īsāk, lūdzu), and getting heels, trousers, a coat or a phone screen fixed. Hotel & Travel: the reservation, breakfast, check-out, a return ticket to Sigulda, and the receptionist's lines. • A ladder that keeps going: Hairdresser & Services and Hotel & Travel unlock at levels 26 and 28, so there is something new even if you've been learning for months. • Big numbers: hundreds and thousands, a price with cents, the year (divi tūkstoši divdesmit sestajā gadā), a percentage and a phone number read aloud — with a new lesson. • Ago, since, until: pirms stundas, kopš pirmdienas, līdz piektdienai, jau trīs mēnešus — with a new lesson. 35 lessons in all. • A correction: the numbers lesson used to say that after the teens and round tens the noun is always in the genitive plural. That was too strong — with many nouns the plain plural is normal too ("divdesmit minūtes"), and after a preposition the noun follows the preposition. The lesson now says so. • Pronunciation hints are now written one consistent way across all 1681 cards, and a few words whose "o" was written the wrong way round are fixed (problēma, restorāns, skolotājs). Paldies for learning with us!

• Four new scenes for the parts of life the app hadn't reached yet. Celebrations: name days (Daudz laimes vārda dienā!), Jāņi (Līgo!), Christmas, New Year and Easter, the toast (Priekā!), what the host says (Jūtieties kā mājās!), and the words for a funeral. Taxi & Car: the ride and what the driver says (Uz kurieni braucam?), petrol, parking and a breakdown. Phone Calls: calling, booking and moving an appointment, and the other end of the line (Uzgaidiet, es jūs savienoju). Free Time: inviting a friend, saying yes, and saying no without offending (Diemžēl nevaru, man jau ir citi plāni). • Your Latvian family: mum and dad, both sets of in-laws (your husband's mother and your wife's mother are different words), godparents and relatives, each with two example sentences. • Dates, and where you're from: "Mana dzimšanas diena ir piektajā maijā", and the questions people ask a newcomer, with the nationality in both the man's and the woman's form. • Three new grammar lessons: saying the date, the definite -ais / -ā ending the app has used all along (nākamajā nedēļā), and the little -iņš / -īte words (Vienu mirklīti!). 33 lessons in all. • Grammar practice fixed: drills now count toward the daily grammar challenge, every drill can be closed early, and each one is a real word-ordering game. • Typing mode accepts a word written either as one word or two (vīramāte or vīra māte). • The deck now holds 1555 cards across 51 scenes: 170 of them are lines said to you, and 49 come with a feminine form. Paldies for learning with us!

• Understand what they say back — the biggest gap in every phrasebook, now filled. 137 new cards are the lines said TO you: the clerk calling "Numurs 42, trešais lodziņš", the cashier asking "Kā jūs maksāsiet, ar karti vai skaidrā naudā?", the card machine's "Karte tika noraidīta", the landlord's "Dzīvoklis jau ir aizņemts", the tram announcing "Nākamā pietura – Centrāltirgus", and — the gap that stranded everyone — the ANSWER when you ask the way: "Ejiet taisni līdz luksoforam, tad pa kreisi", "Tas ir ielas otrā pusē", "Es arī neesmu vietējais". You are never asked to produce them — they stay in listening and meaning exercises, because recognising them is the whole point. • Right for women too — Latvian endings agree with the speaker, so a man says "Es esmu noguris" and a woman "Es esmu nogurusi". Until now the app only taught the masculine form. 44 cards now show the feminine form as well, with its own audio, including the forms you need when you are speaking TO a woman ("Vai tu esi bijusi Latvijā?"). • Whole conversations, not just the opening line — twelve everyday scenes were too thin to survive a reply. City & Admin, Renting, Bank & Post, Phone & Internet, Emergencies, Kindergarten, the doctor, the supermarket, the restaurant and more now run 23-28 cards each, covering the follow-up, the awkward case where something is wrong, and the polite close. • Four scenes purely for the pleasure of it, earned as you climb: Sayings & Idioms (Rīts gudrāks par vakaru, Turēšu īkšķus!), Tongue Twisters (Šis šaursliežu dzelzceļš), Real Talk — how Latvians actually speak (Aiziet!, Ej nu!, Pag, es tūlīt!) — and Kids & Play, the warm phrases you say to a small child. • Three grammar lessons that were missing — the app used the jā- must-form on 16 cards without ever explaining why it is "Man jāiet" and not "Es jāiet". Now there is a lesson for it, one for the genitive (the case the app taught around but never taught), and one for verb prefixes, which is why sūtīt and pasūtīt are different words. 30 lessons in all, each with spoken examples and its own drill. • A new scene for reading, not just speaking — Signs & Notices teaches the written Latvian you meet every day: Darba laiks, Pusdienu pārtraukums, Slēgts remonta dēļ, Nepiederošām personām ieeja aizliegta, Labāk izlietot līdz, plus the stock phrases on an official letter. • A ladder that lasts — rewards used to run out in the first week. Levels now get steadier as you climb and unlocks arrive all the way to level 25, so there is always a next thing. Nothing you already unlocked is ever taken away, and nobody loses a level. • The deck now holds 1423 cards across 47 scenes, with 707 words carrying two examples and 30 grammar lessons. Paldies for learning with us!

• Hear the grammar, don't just read it — every example in every lesson now has a play button. All 65 examples across the 27 lessons are spoken in the same voice as the cards, so the rule and the sound arrive together. Two lessons that had no drill (Word stress, Prepositions) now have one, so all 27 lessons link straight into practice. • Say what you have done — a new scene, Experiences, teaches the perfect tense (esmu + participle) in 30 native-checked sentences: Es esmu bijis Rīgā (I have been to Riga), Vai tu esi paēdis? (have you eaten?), Es vēl neesmu paēdis (I haven't eaten yet), Viņa ir atnākusi (she has arrived). With a new Grammar lesson, "Have you ever…?", that shows the pattern and how the ending changes for a woman. Unlocks at level 7. • The first levels come faster — early levels now cost less XP and settle to the usual pace from level 5, so the beginning feels like progress instead of a wall. Nobody loses a level: every existing player keeps the level they already had, and nothing you unlocked gets locked again. • 51 words you kept needing — the everyday gaps, found by auditing the whole deck: disagreeing and hedging (Es nepiekrītu, Es neesmu pārliecināts, Man vienalga, manuprāt, piemēram), changing plans (atcelt = cancel, pārcelt = reschedule, pasūtīt = order, salabot = fix, apmainīt = exchange), the missing middle of every scale (diezgan = quite, vismaz = at least, mazāk = less, pietiek = enough), and life in Latvia (slidens = slippery, iesnas = runny nose, izmērs = size, laika prognoze = the forecast). Each comes with two example sentences. • The deck now holds 1146 cards across 42 scenes, with 707 words carrying two examples and 27 grammar lessons. Paldies for learning with us!

• The everyday essentials — 52 new words and phrases, from a native teacher's audit of the whole deck. Money at the till (eiro, centi, cena, čeks), the signs on the door (atvērts = open, slēgts = closed), and the questions people actually ask you back: Cik tev gadu?, Kā iet?, Kur tu strādā?, Un tu? • The words you kept meeting but never learned — dictionary forms of verbs you use constantly (varēt = can, saukt = to call / be named), base nouns that only ever appeared inside phrases (diena, centrs, ēdiens, numurs, karte, vieta, ceļš), and weather and colour words like saulains, mākoņains and krāsa. • Phrases for the moment you need them — Lēnāk lūdzu, Ko tas nozīmē, Vēl vienu lūdzu, To pašu lūdzu, līdzņemšanai, Veiksmi, Visu labu, plus stūris, luksofors, lētāks, nākamais and more. • Two examples, not one — 215 more second example sentences across numbers, days and time, pronouns, connectors, prepositions, places, weather and jobs.

What’s New (v1.3): • Over 200 new words and phrases — pronouns, prepositions, connectors, seasons & nature, everyday nouns, greetings, telling the time, more numbers and verbs. • New Grammar section — clear, bite-size lessons on how Latvian actually works: noun gender, the cases, "man ir" (to have), verb tenses and more. Tap "Practice this pattern" to drill any of them. • Smarter review — the words you keep forgetting now come back sooner instead of drifting weeks away. • Audio-first practice — hear a word and spell it from the sound, with more listening built into Smart mode. • A "What's New" screen after each update, VoiceOver and accessibility polish, and reliability fixes under the hood. Paldies for learning with us!

What's New in 1.2 • Type it right — typing practice now expects the Latvian marks (ā, š, ž…). Miss only the accents and you get an "almost" nudge instead of a full pass, so your spelling sharpens. • VoiceOver now speaks Latvian — every Latvian word is read in a Latvian voice instead of being mispronounced in English. • Clearer right/wrong — answers show a check or cross, not just colour, so feedback is readable for everyone. • Fill-in-the-blank in Smart mode — mature words come back in context, not just in isolation. • Smarter reminders — your daily nudge says what's actually waiting ("3 reviews due", or "keep your 9-day streak alive"). • Streak insurance — miss a single day and your streak is forgiven once, so one busy day won't wipe weeks of work. • Better review timing — gentler on a first slip, with a proper relearning step after a lapse. • Larger-text and dark-mode polish, plus reliability fixes under the hood. Paldies for learning with us!

What's New in 1.1 • Keep going — finish a run and tap "Keep going" to jump straight into another, with no trip back to the home screen. Practise as long as you like. • Simpler start — one tap to begin. Each session is sized to what you actually have to review, so there's nothing to set up. • Back up your progress — export a backup of your schedule, XP, streak and favourites from Settings, and restore it on a new device. • Easier on the eyes in Dark Mode — clearer text and icons throughout. • Truer pronunciation — corrected and unified several pronunciation hints. • Reliability fixes across practice modes, audio and progress tracking, plus better VoiceOver labels.
