Not a game

You don't need another streak. You need a conversation.

Many language apps are built like games: points, leagues, streaks, and a cheerful reminder every evening. It feels like progress. Then someone asks you a simple question in that language and nothing comes out. Games are great at getting you to open an app. They are not built to get you talking.

Noventa is the opposite: a serious, finite program with one clear finish line. No points, no leagues, no cartoon guilt-trips. Progress is measured in words you can use and conversations you can hold.

No points, no leagues

Nobody to beat but yesterday's you. Your dashboard shows words you know and days you completed.

No guilt-trips

Miss a day and nothing breaks. Days stay open, you catch up. No streak to lose.

A finish line

90 days, then you are done. And the program is yours for life.

A day with Noventa

Twenty-five minutes. Four steps. Every day.

Open the app, do today. The program decides what comes next, so you never have to.

  1. 1. Cards

    10 min

    Reviews first, then 12 new words from the top 1,000. Each with a mnemonic, an example sentence and audio. Spaced repetition decides when a word comes back.

  2. 2. Lesson

    5 to 10 min

    One idea, explained in plain words. Only the grammar your next sentence needs, never a textbook chapter for its own sake.

  3. 3. Speak

    5 to 10 min

    Drills, quizzes or a few lines of writing. Always out loud: speaking is a muscle, and you train it here.

  4. 4. Mission

    weekly

    Every 7th day: a real conversation with a tutor or a tandem partner. This is where it starts to count.

The 90 days

Four phases. One conversation at the end.

Every square is a day. Every 7th day is lighter, with a real-world mission. Days 30, 60 and 90 are milestones.

Deconstruct Foundation Build Flow Light day + mission Milestone
  1. 1. Deconstruct

    Days 1 to 7

    Take the language apart before you learn it: sounds, the four magic verbs, conversation glue, all the words you already know. Cheat sheet v1.

  2. 2. Foundation

    Days 8 to 30

    Core grammar in the order you need it, plus everyday scenarios: café, directions, small talk. Day 30: a 2-minute monologue about yourself.

  3. 3. Build

    Days 31 to 60

    Talk about the past and the future, give opinions, master the tricky pairs. Day 60: tell your tutor a 5-minute story.

  4. 4. Flow

    Days 61 to 90

    Nuance, idioms, native podcasts and series. Day 89: a 30-minute conversation, only in your new language.

What "conversational" means here

On day 89 you sit down with a tutor or tandem partner for 30 minutes, entirely in your new language: who you are, what you did, what you plan, what you think. You will still make mistakes. You will keep talking anyway. That is the bar the whole program is built for.

The method

A method, not a mood.

Most courses teach a language in the order of a textbook. Noventa teaches it in the order you need it to speak.

What to learn, and when

01 · Deconstruct

Take it apart first

Thirteen short sentences on day 1 reveal how the language works: word order, gender, verbs, questions. You see early where it is easy and where it is hard for you.

02 · Select

Frequent words first

About 1,000 words cover most of everyday conversation. You learn them in order of frequency, measured on the target language itself, not on a translated list.

03 · Sequence

The right order

Sounds, then four "magic verbs" (want, can, must, going to) that unlock hundreds of sentences, then conversation glue. Grammar only when the next sentence needs it.

04 · Stakes

Real stakes

A booked weekly conversation with a real person, a fixed daily slot and milestones that ask something of you.

How it sticks

Compression

The whole grammar on one page. Your cheat sheet grows on day 7, 30, 60 and 90.

Frequency

A little every day beats a lot on Sunday. Spaced repetition brings each word back just before you forget it.

Encoding

Every word hooked to something you already know: cognates, sound-alikes, vivid mnemonics, real sentences, your own voice.

The framework is inspired by the meta-learning principles popularized by Tim Ferriss, turned into a guided daily program.

Courses

Pick your language.

Every course is written natively for your language: explanations, mnemonics, cognates and false friends. Never a translation of another course.

FAQ

Fair questions.

All questions
How do I cancel?

In your account settings, with two clicks. Cancel within the first 7 days and you pay nothing. After that you can cancel every month; you keep access until the end of the month you paid for.

Can I restart a course?

No, and that is on purpose. Each language is one 90-day run. A program you can reset whenever it gets hard is a program you never finish. You can still review all your words, lessons and your cheat sheet as long as you like.

What if I miss a day?

Nothing breaks. Days stay open until you have done them and your cards wait for you. There is no streak to lose and nobody will guilt-trip you. Just pick up where you left off and catch up at your own pace.

How much time do I need per day?

About 25 minutes. Every 7th day is a lighter day. The weekly conversation with a tutor or tandem partner takes an extra 30 to 60 minutes.

Do I need a tutor?

The weekly missions work best with a real person: a paid online tutor or a free tandem partner. That is not included in the price. You can follow the program without, but the conversations are where speaking really happens.

Which devices does it work on?

Noventa runs in the browser on your phone, tablet and laptop, nothing to install. Your progress syncs across all of them.

Ninety days from now, you could be talking.
