Made for Poles
We explain grammar in Polish, in full sentences, and warn you about the mistakes Poles typically make: I have 15 years → I'm 15.
Please note: Idiomaniac is a course for Polish speakers. The app is in Polish and every explanation is in Polish, so you'll need to understand Polish to use it.

How it works
Learning designed to stick
Every part of the course has its own job. Here's what the Idiomaniac method is built on.
You learn through a story
Nine seasons with the same characters: a move to London, a trip to Paris, a job at a start-up. New words turn up in the scenes where they're needed and come back in later episodes.
You work out the rule yourself
First you see a few examples and say what you notice about them. Then you get the rule on a single screen, written in Polish in full sentences.
We help you avoid the mistakes Polish speakers often make
We show you where Polish points you the wrong way: false friends, word order, tenses. The wrong form is always shown crossed out, so it doesn't stick in your memory.
Whole phrases, not single words
You learn ready-made expressions such as ‘Could I have…, please?’ that you can use straight away in a café, at work or in a message to a friend.
Reviews at just the right moment
The FSRS algorithm schedules a review of each word at roughly the point when you start to forget it. Words you already know well come back less often, and trickier ones more often.
You speak from day one
You read aloud and talk to the characters. The app listens and colours in the words it recognised. In voice mode you can practise without touching your phone, for example while you're out for a walk.
A test that shows what's stuck
After each module you take a test, followed by a review exam covering the last three modules. Any questions you get wrong come back in later exams.
Over 60 types of exercise
Dictations, crosswords, conversations, sorting, error detective, karaoke and lots more. The formats change often, so it's hard to get bored.
One module, step by step

Every new word goes into your jar. You can watch your collection grow and go back to the examples whenever you like.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. Lessons work without an account and without giving any personal data at all. A free account also gets you PDF coursebooks, friends, the league and challenges. You can create an account from age 13; younger users need a parent's consent, confirmed by email.
I don't know my level. Where should I start?
You can start from zero or take a short placement test. The test will show you which stages you already know and where it's best to begin.
How long does a lesson take?
Lessons are short, designed so you can do one during a break, on the bus or in the evening. What matters most is learning regularly, so the app reminds you to study at a time you choose.
Does the app work offline?
The mobile app (coming soon to the App Store and Google Play) works offline. Audio for levels A2 and up is downloaded once, when you reach those levels. The browser version needs an internet connection.
Which English will I learn?
British English, because the series is mostly set in London. Along the way, we also point out the key differences between British and American English.
Who reads the dialogues?
The dialogues are read by synthetic voices. Before publication, every recording is checked by a speech recognition system that compares it with the script. Recordings that don't pass the check are corrected and generated again.
Can I cancel a paid plan?
Yes, at any time. You keep access to the paid part of the course until the end of the period you've paid for.
When will the app be on the App Store and Google Play?
Soon. For now, you can learn in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone.
