Exercises: from knowing — to speaking
'Knowing' a language and 'being able to speak' are two different things. A textbook is enough for the first; the second needs practice: at the right time, at the right difficulty, in the right amount. The Tildosh exercise system computes these three 'rights' separately for each learner.
This page unpacks the exercise types one by one: how micro-lessons are built, why Tap-to-Meaning is faster than a dictionary, what tests measure, and why the AI sometimes corrects your mistake immediately and sometimes later.
Micro-lessons: one skill in 5 minutes
Each micro-lesson is dedicated to one specific skill: 'present simple', 'ordering at a restaurant', 'past-tense questions'. A lesson lasts 5–10 minutes — fits into a lunch break or a bus ride. The format is hybrid: conversation (chat) and cards alternate — first the AI explains, then you immediately apply.
Lessons aren't random: their foundation is the Lesson Skeleton written by methodologists — the backbone of each lesson. The AI 'brings the lesson to life' around this skeleton, adapted to you: it picks examples based on your interests, adjusts difficulty to your level, but never leaves the learning objective. All lessons are linked to the Curriculum Graph — each lesson is a link in a chain where it's precisely defined which knowledge comes before it.
30–50 lessons
In the first version, 30–50 micro-lessons for level A0–A2 — each for one skill.
Chat + cards
Alternating conversation and interactive cards — not a boring lecture.
Methodologist oversight
Every lesson skeleton is written by a specialist — the AI stays within bounds.
Tap-to-Meaning: faster than a dictionary
You're reading a text and hit an unfamiliar word — what do you usually do? Open another app, copy the word, search the translation, come back... and lose the thread of the text. Tap-to-Meaning reduces this to one tap: tap the word — its translation, pronunciation and 1–2 example sentences open instantly, in under 2 seconds.
Most importantly: the tapped word automatically lands in your dictionary — together with its context. Then the SRS system reminds you of it on time. Reading and memorizing merge into one flow.
Under 2 seconds
Translation + pronunciation + example — without leaving the text.
Auto-save
Every tapped word goes to the dictionary — no extra action needed.
With context
The word is remembered with the sentence where it appeared — easier to recall.
Tests: check yourself
Tests aren't for punishment — they're for drawing your map. Each test result pinpoints your place in the Curriculum Graph: which topic is solid, which is weak. Weak topics automatically enter the review plan.
Test types vary: multiple choice, gap filling, translation, dictation, and most importantly free answer: the AI checks your answer by meaning, not by keyword matching.
Two modes, one rule
Conversation has two modes: 'Correct me' — the AI corrects every mistake (when learning a new topic); 'Just reply' — the AI naturally continues the conversation and only notes the most important mistakes (free speaking practice). You can switch modes at any time.
And the famous 1–3 mistake rule: the AI corrects at most 1–3 mistakes per reply. Why? Because ten red marks kill motivation. Few but precise corrections — the golden rule of learning psychology.
Correct me
When learning new grammar — every mistake is corrected immediately.
Just reply
In free conversation — the flow isn't broken, only important mistakes are noted.
1–3 mistake limit
Maximum three corrections per reply — motivation stays alive.
Exercise questions
A micro-lesson targets one skill and 5–10 minutes. A regular lesson lasts 45 minutes and mixes several topics — attention scatters. The micro format gives small wins: each lesson ends with a feeling of 'I learned this', which invites you back tomorrow.
Exercises are the engine of language learning. But an engine must run on the right fuel: at the right time, at the right difficulty, in the right amount. The Tildosh exercise system provides these three conditions for each learner separately.
