AI vocabulary app for intermediate and advanced learners. Ten varied real contexts per word — so you feel its range across the hundred you'll meet next.
Hey PH 👋
I'm a Russian native who learned English mostly by reading software docs over the years, long before any US classroom. The language didn't get into me through translation pairs. It crept in through contexts — the same word meeting me in different sentences and situations, until I knew its range without having drilled it.
Years later, driving Uber Eats after a layoff, I realized something counterintuitive: the speaking confidence I'd tried to build through structured study finally clicked from low-stakes, high-volume real interactions. The vocabulary required was tiny — but the freeze at the start of every conversation dropped overnight.
Those two threads — vocabulary lives in context, and confidence comes from felt range — are what LAFwords is built around.
Each word arrives across ten varied real-world sentences with native pronunciation and an image. Not to teach you the word in those exact ten situations — to give you the felt sense of its range, so you can use it in the hundred situations you haven't seen yet. Spaced repetition cements the contexts; the leverage is the spread.
Built solo for B1+ learners stuck between "I finished Duolingo" and "I can actually have this conversation." English + Spanish today, Italian and German on the roadmap.
