Hear the sounds
Sixteen letters, each said exactly one way. Tap any to hear it; a consonant is shown with a vowel, since that's how you actually say it. The full Sounds lesson drills every one.

Remember it
Spaced repetition over the real dictionary. No
account, nothing leaves your browser.
The whole idea: the first sound tells the meaning
Every content word's onset marks its domain. You never think about it while speaking, but it makes the vocabulary coherent and tells you how to coin new words.

Why it's different
- ~10 rules, zero exceptions. No irregular verbs, no genders, no cases. Words never change shape.
- Fully original. Every root is invented, nothing borrowed from any language.
- It composes. 554 roots + compounds express thousands of ideas: teku fa (tool-speak) = phone.
- One source of truth. This whole site is generated from
lexicon.csv; it can never drift.
