The English that stays with you after you close the app
Every word from your favourite book or show finally makes sense: you have seen all of its meanings and heard how it sounds in real life. And you meet it again a moment before you would forget it.
1. up and down (movement)
Moving alternately upwards and downwards — jumping, nodding, rising and falling.
2. back and forth (pacing)
Moving to and fro across a place — a street, a room, a beach.
3. changeable (ups and downs)
About a state, mood, prices or results that keep changing — now higher, now lower.
Key nuance
«The bridge now goes up and down at 2.2 cycles a second»
«They said this TV goes up and down»
«On a regular escalator, the chains must be flexible up and down, but it can't move to the left and right»
«Full moon, dogs barking, racing up and down the glassed in hallway»
«And this must replicate the effort that went across the country, up and down, and it gives us detail that often we wouldn’t know»

Here's why it works this time
- 01
Because it is your show
You never have to decide what to learn — the list is already made by what you like.
- 02
Because you understood the word, not memorised a line
Every sense, the register and real speech. With one translation you would not recognise it in a conversation.
- 03
Because the review arrives on time
A moment before you would forget. Not a day earlier — that would be cramming.
You'll read that book in the original
Every single word from the books, films, series and games you love is broken down here. Down to the last one — so you can finish them without stopping.
