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.
7-day free trial, no credit card. Happy to answer questions.

Congrats on launching, Andrey! Really like the "contexts, not translations" idea, I ended up doing the same thing back in my US days, just from reading books. You learn a word faster when you see it used in a few different real sentences than when you just see "word = other word" on a flashcard. As the Germans say, every comparison limps (they do really have this saying).

@konstantin_avksentyev Thanks Konstantin! Reading native books is honestly the gold-standard version of what LAFwords tries to compress. The app is basically an attempt to make that mechanism accessible to people who don't have unlimited reading time.
And thank you for "every comparison limps", it's going in my back pocket. Perfect Germanism.
