Lessons built on the set
Six lessons for every set: the words, one verb tense at a time, a test. The syllabus is written by what you wrote.

itself.
This page is the thesis behind Glotta: where it comes from, what it takes for granted, and where it becomes defensible. It is written to be measured, not argued about.
“Learning a language is a problem of time, not of willpower.”
The line the whole thing started from
The idea
The moment you learn is a moment you already have.
Study apps ask for twenty minutes a day that nobody has, and teach sentences somebody else chose. Meanwhile, that same person spends two hours a day writing messages: real words, theirs, in real situations.
Glotta sits right there. It is a keyboard: you use it instead of the system one, you type normally, and the translation appears above the keys. If you need it, one tap swaps it in and you send that. You have not opened an app, you have not studied anything.
And the words you write become something to learn from — not because you saved them, but because you used them.
Glotta does not compete on content. It competes on friction, which is close to zero.
The potential
The defensible position is the data.
After a month, Glotta knows which words that person actually uses, which they have learnt and which they still get wrong. No course can know that. It is the kind of advantage that grows on its own.
Week 1It knows which words you write most often, and gives you your first set.
Month 1It knows which forty words you actually need, and in what order.
Month 3It knows which mistakes come back despite the reviews.
Month 6It holds a vocabulary no course could rebuild for you.
The natural directions, nearest first
Two-way conversation
Translating what you write and what you receive. Half the conversation does not go through Glotta today.
Register and tone
Formal or informal before you send. In languages with a polite form it is the difference between the right message and an embarrassing one.
More languages, done properly
Eight today, and one more only when the keyboard genuinely knows how to type it — letters, accents and dictionary included.
Professional pairs
People working in English as a second language write emails all day. It is the same product, with an audience that pays more readily.
From keyboard to conversation
The words you collect while writing become the week's set, and the set becomes the conversation you have out loud in the evening. The more you write, the more the vocabulary is yours — and that is where Glotta stops being a keyboard and becomes the way you learn.
