Learn a New Language with Passion-Driven Learning and the Power of Spaced Repetition

Virtually any topic. The only limits are that AI must know about it and it cannot violate OpenAI's "decency" guidelines - like racist, vulgar, or pornographic material.

You can share your ebook and audiobook, as these are non DRM files. The video will be available on YouTube so you can share that as well. The practice lists are in the members only section, so that is not shareable.

Yes. You can learn up to 16 if you like.

For starters, it works. It is about really learning a language and becoming fluent vs. playing a game for years that gives you just enough of your language to get by ordering a meal. There is no sugar-coating here... it is hard work. But it pays off.

I am reminded of the "Speak any new language within hours" videos where we see the host ramble for a few seconds with some memorized text in the learned language claiming "success". Learning just one new word is technically "results" so you can see results in seconds. There are many milestones t learning a new language and your progress depends on both your effort and your natural ability at language learning. I know it is not a solid answer, but no such solid answer exists. As for the milestones, here are some that I have experiences and expect to experience:

• learning how to pronounce the alphabet
• learning how to speak when reading
• knowing basics like numbers, greetings, common prases
• recognizing the spoken language (example, knowing if someone is speaking Spanish or Portuguese)
• reading in the language
• writing in the language
• understand spoken language
• speaking the language
• having conversations in the language

In my journey (as of October 2024), about one year into learning (the first 6 months messing around with other language learning apps and gimmicks), I can read Spanish books (I am reading Harry Potter) and understand well over 95% of the words. I can follow along fairly well if a native speaker is speaking slowly and I can speak enough for basic conversations. In the last few months, I have been spending about an hour a day on learning. I expect to reach "fluency" by this time next year keeping this pace. As I mentioned elsewhere, although I have a PhD, learning does not come easy for me. I have to work at it.

For the effective part, I use science. As a research scientist, I know how to look through the sea of data and find what works and what doesn't. What works has been incorporated into this system. What doesn't has been left out. As for engaging, this is where you come in by choosing the topics that interest you most.

I would say this system is best for high-school age kids and up. The books can be created on any topic so kids can choose topics that interest them, but AI writes for adults. Younger students might need the flashy cartoons and the stimulating sounds that many (not as effective) language learning apps offer.

Ebook only is convenient virtually anywhere. With the ebook only, you can do the following:

Audiobook only is a wonderful to learn on bike rides outdoor walks. Here are a couple of options:

For maximum learning and retention potential, use both the ebook and audiobook. This is great for exercising on a stationary machine such as a bike, treadmill, or elliptical where you can see your reading device and swipe to change pages.

Yes. You can contact us at any time. We also have an AI language tutor who answers questions about your language 24 hours a day (see the "QUESTIONS?" link in the main menu).

Here is where we need to break with the gimmicks and stick to the science. Most apps will "motivate" users by gimmicks such as points, "coins", and other rewards. These are temporary motivators at best. True motivation comes from within. You need to have a reason for learning a new language - a good one. Without a strong reason, all the points and "coins" on the Internet won't keep you going.

Having said that, experiencing your progress creates a motivational loop - the more you learn, the more motivated you are to continue. And our system helps you make serious progress.

When you make an error with the practice lists, the system will tell you what the error is and show you the correct answer. We also have an "Ask ChatGPT" link for every term, where you can get full details about the term including pronunciation, different meanings, root word, conjugations, and more. You can also ask it any question you want about the term. The magic of AI!

You can track your progress by number of books read and number of new terms learned via the practice lists. We offer full stats for you.

All that read .epub ebook files, .m4b audiobook files, and play video files. You will not need any extra software - you almost certainly already have all you need.

It is a self-paced program. You are not penalized for skipping a day to taking a break. However, spaced-repetition learning works best when you keep to the suggested schedules. If you are willing to check in at least once a day with your practice lists, you will do great.

Yes! You can start from knowing nothing about the language or already be an expert. Because you control the content.  Beginners will especially benefit from our free online course: https://www.virversity.com/course/ScienceBasedLearning 

The free plan lets you create one book and create one practice list from that book. The paid plans let you create more and create custom lists as well. After just one book, you should see the genius of this system and want to continue making more books :)

Yes. If you choose a monthly subscription, you are only committing the full month that you pay for, and when you cancel, you are only responsible for the rest of the month according to your billing cycle. So for example, if your billing cycle starts on November 5, and you cancel November 15th, you are paid up until December 5th. You do not get refunded for the remainder of November, but you will no longer be charged. If you subscribe to a yearly plan, you are committing for the entire year. If you cancel mid plan, you are still paid up until the end - there are no refunds for the remainder of the plan, thus the reason for the deep discount. If you are choosing a yearly plan, make sure you are comfortable with the commitment.

They carry over to the next month, so there is no pressure to create exactly 5 or 15 per month. Do keep in mind that if you do cancel, you will no longer be able to create books. The membership includes the option to create number of books per month, not the number of books per month.

Visit https://www.sciencebasedlearning.com/price.html and click the upgrade button under your desired plan.

We are committed to making the cancellation process no more difficult than the subscription process. To that end, we require all cancellations to be done the same place the subscription was made: https://www.sciencebasedlearning.com/price.html (we do not accept subscriptions by email, and we do not accept cancellations by email). Here, you will see the "Downgrade" button under each package name. Click any downgrade button and follow the instructions. This process will not just authenticate your request, but display and calculate any credits do to you from our 30 day refund policy.

Before You Cancel or Downgrade:
Understand that you will no longer be able to create any books. If you are are behind, it is best to keep your subscription and catch up when you can. Again, as long as you stay subscribed to your same plan or a higher plan, your number of allowed books will be preserved.

The free trial is the free plan. This allows you to try the system without a credit card or payment information. Once you decide to upgrade to the paid plan, you are committing to at least one month (monthly payment option) or one year (yearly payment option).

There is no pause option. You can just cancel and upgrade again when you are ready. All of your created books will still be in your account, as will all of your lists. When you do upgrade again, you start over with the number of books you are allowed to create so if you had some stored up, you will lose those.
