Full CEFR map · On-demand generation

Every level of the language is a lake. Aprandr shows you the whole thing.

Every CEFR sublevel — A1-1, A2-3, B1-2 — is a finite, mappable knowledge lake. You see everything inside and drain each one at your own pace, in five formats. No more blind spots, no more pretending you're moving forward.

No card. German, French, Spanish and English — the whole map, open.

Built for brains that need to see the whole thing — especially if yours runs ADHD or neurodivergent.

The problem

You've been studying for months and you still don't know what you have left to learn.

The conscious self-directed learner roughly knows which CEFR sublevel they're at. What they don't have is a visible map of what's inside each lake, a way to drain them in the format their brain asks for today, and the certainty that they're not skipping anything.

You walk blindfolded down a hidden route

Duolingo

Duolingo decides what you practice today. You don't see what lakes exist or which ones it's skipping — only the next step in the corridor.

Random ripples, no map

ChatGPT

ChatGPT improvises with off-curriculum vocabulary. It generates waves in any direction — and forgets the lesson when you close the tab.

A single lake, a single format

Babbel · Memrise

Babbel and Memrise drop you in a fixed lake, in a single format, with the same tone for a dev, a doctor and a teenager.

Not knowing what's missing paralyzes you — especially if your brain runs ADHD

All of the above

Without a visible map and without an editable history, reviewing means walking blindfolded. For an ADHD or neurodivergent brain that dark zone isn't discomfort, it's paralysis: you don't start because you don't know where, and the streak in whatever app you're using finishes sinking you.

How it works

Three steps. No learning curve.

You pick a lake, generate a lesson, leave a trace. The friction is where it should be — in learning, not in navigating.

Your pace. Your lake. Your way.

STEP 011

Pick your lake

Pick A1-1, A1-2, A2-1 or whichever fits. You see the full map and choose where you stand today — we don't guess for you, and there's no "where do I start?" paralysis.

A1-1A1-2A2-1A2-2B1-1
STEP 022

Ask for a lesson

You pick a format (summary, quiz, exercises, flashcards or conversation) and a style. The AI builds the lesson on top of that lake's real vocabulary.

STEP 033

Learn and leave a trace

You mark done, rate low/good/high and schedule a reminder. Your history is real — not a counter of consecutive days.

Our bet

The whole map. You decide which lake you drain today.

Duolingo walks you down a hidden route. ChatGPT generates ripples without a map. Babbel drops you in a single lake, in a single format. Aprandr does something different: it shows you the full map of CEFR lakes and the AI helps you drain each one in the format your brain asks for today.

The usual

Walking blindfolded down a hidden route.

  • Invisible lakes — you walk a route the app picked for you.
  • A single format, repeated until something sticks.
  • It works — just slow, and you never know what they're skipping over.
Aprandr

Visible lake map + AI that adapts.

  • Full map of CEFR lakes, open from day one.
  • You drain every lake in the format your brain asks for today.
  • The map doesn't move. You decide the order and the depth.
  • Without streak anxiety. A bad day breaks nothing — the map is still there when you come back.
Same lake line, different formats

Features

What Aprandr actually does.

Every feature answers a concrete pain of the self-directed learner. Starting with the biggest one: seeing the map.

Complete map of CEFR lakes

Every sublevel — A1-1, A2-3, B1-2 — is a knowledge lake mapped by a human expert. You see the full set of vocabulary, phrases and rules before you start. The AI doesn't invent the syllabus: it operates inside that lake.

It's not Duolingo picking the route for you, nor ChatGPT being asked "teach me German".

Five ways to drain a lake

Summary, quiz, exercises, flashcards and conversation. Same lake, five ways to walk through it depending on how you learn best today. Built for brains that get bored with one format — you pivot when one tires you out, not when the app lets you.

It's not a linear course that comes in a single pre-cooked format.

A voice tutor that drills you — not chats with you

Talk live with an AI tutor — from the browser or by phone. It follows a fixed loop: announces the lake item, makes you produce it, closes and moves to the next one. It corrects your structure when you get it wrong.

It doesn't grade pronunciation. Only structure and correct use of the active lake's vocabulary.

Customizable narrator styles

Ask for the same lesson "like to a dev", "like to a 10-year-old" or in academic tone. The wrapper changes, the lake doesn't.

Not translating the same PDF into another font.

Lessons you remember doing

Mark done, rate low/good/high and schedule reminders. Your history is real — which lake you touched, when, with what quality.

Not a streak that punishes you for getting sick on a weekend.

Filters and contextual navigation

Filter by status, quality or reminder. The navigation adapts: you go from the lake map into the lesson tabs without losing context.

Not a flat dashboard with 200 mixed-up items.

Multilingual from day one

German, French, Spanish and English — with the full lake map. More languages are coming, but only once we have the curated catalog of every sublevel ready.

We don't promise 40 languages just to have 40 empty maps.

This is NOT Aprandr

We save you the apps you already tried and abandoned.

  • Not An app that decides which lake to touch for you and hides the map.
  • Not A Duolingo-style streak. If your engine is that streak: the shame of breaking it feels toxic to us, especially for ADHD brains where it breaks often and drags you into quitting.
  • Not Plain ChatGPT: here every lesson is anchored to the CEFR lake you picked.
  • Not A pre-recorded course that ages and never changes.
  • Not Not a translator on steroids or an infinite chat with no structure.
  • Not "Learn a language in 7 days". If that's your plan, there are other apps.
Why it works

Adult pedagogy. Lake map, not gamified widget.

Five principles — the first one is the structural bet: showing you the entire map. The other four are the mechanics of how you drain each lake.

The whole lake, visible

Each CEFR sublevel is a knowledge lake — vocabulary, phrases and rules curated by a human expert. You see it whole before you start. No surprises, no "hidden routes", no algorithm deciding for you. Especially important if your brain runs ADHD or neurodivergent — seeing the whole thing is relief, not decoration.

Spaced repetition under your control

You set the horizon (1 wk / 1 mo / 3m / 6m / custom). It's not an opaque SM-2 algorithm — the aware learner knows what they retain best.

Active recall over passive exposure

Quiz forces a choice before revealing the answer. Inline inputs make you produce before validating. Flashcards show the front first. You produce, you don't just read.

Modulated comprehensible input

The AI biases generation toward the active lake's lines — one step above your current level (i+1), not random. The style adjusts lexical density without breaking focus.

Deliberate practice per format

Five ways to drain the same lake: quiz for discrimination, exercises for guided production, conversation for contextual comprehension, flashcards for lexical speed, summary for grammar. You pick the muscle of the day.

Questions

What you're probably wondering.

What is a "knowledge lake"?

It's the metaphor we use to think about every CEFR sublevel. A lake is finite and mappable: it has a fixed set of vocabulary, phrases and rules curated by a human expert. You see it whole before you start — nothing is hidden behind an algorithm. The promise: no more invisible lakes, no more pretending you're moving forward. "Sublevel" is the technical name; "lake" is how we talk about the product.

Why do you say Duolingo hides the map from you?

Because Duolingo decides the route for you — you don't see what lakes exist, which ones you've already touched or which ones it's skipping. You move through a linear corridor without knowing what's around you. Aprandr does the opposite: it hands you the full map from A1 to B1 on day one and you decide which lake to drain today.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT for lessons?

ChatGPT generates random ripples — it doesn't know which vocabulary belongs to A1-2 vs A2-1, so it improvises off-curriculum. Here every lesson is built from the curated catalog of the lake you picked. The content stays inside, and your history is saved — it doesn't evaporate when you close the tab.

How does it know my level?

It doesn't guess. You pick the lake. If you're not sure, start at A1-1 and move up when it feels easy. There's no mandatory placement test — that friction doesn't serve the self-directed adult.

Is it for people with ADHD?

Yes — it's designed for that, without being only for that. Most product decisions answer pains the ADHD brain lives daily: you see the full map of lakes (the dark zone of "I don't know what I'm missing" disappears), you pick the lake — not what to study inside it (less decision fatigue), you generate the lesson when hyperfocus hits and leave it half-done if it crashes (no big deal), and you have five formats to pivot to when one gets boring. No streaks, no XP, no shame. If you're not ADHD it works too — it's just that an ADHD brain feels seen using it.

Why no streaks or XP?

Because the streak turns into an obligation. When it breaks — and it breaks — the intrinsic motivation you had to learn the language gets replaced by shame, and shame kills the habit. The ADHD brain pays double: a streak broken on Friday switches off Monday. Aprandr doesn't compete with your motivation using an external counter. A bad day breaks nothing; the map is still there when you come back.

What if I didn't like the generated lesson?

Mark it as low quality and generate another. It's on demand, you're not tied to a single version. Your rating stays in your history and the "Quality: high" filter becomes your personal curation over time.

Can I use it offline?

No. Lesson generation depends on cloud AI. Already-generated lessons can be reopened as long as you have a connection.

What languages are available?

German, French, Spanish and English — with the full lake map from A1 to B1. We're curating the catalogs for what comes next before we ship them. We don't want to launch empty languages just to inflate the list.

Is it free?

Yes, to start. There will be a paid plan when we stabilize generation limits. What you generate now stays with you.

Are my lessons saved?

Yes. Every lesson you generate is tied to your account, with its status (pending / done), quality (low / good / high), and reminder. You can come back to it whenever.

Does it work if I'm already advanced?

Today we go up to B1 — the B2 and C1 lakes are still being curated. If you're higher than that, it's not for you yet. When we ship those levels you'll see the entire map, same as with A1-B1.
