📞 New Adventure: Phone Call Game


The phones are ringing in a 22-floor tower! Answer each one and listen carefully — the caller's words are never shown on screen. A delivery driver, a telemarketer, the bank, the dentist... What did they say? Pick the right sentence from 4 nearly identical options. Answer 3 calls correctly and hop down to the next floor!

  • 200 real-life phone sentences — pure listening training
  • Tricky sound-alike options: "special offer" or "special coffee"?
  • The tower resets with fresh questions when you finish — replay it as many times as you like

🍽️ New Adventure: Restaurant Street


A whole street of restaurants and cafes! Talk to 6 waiters and practice real conversations out loud: getting a table, ordering food and drinks, breakfast, desserts, allergies, the bill, tips, takeaway and reservations.

  • 200 spoken question & answer dialogues — the waiter asks, you answer with your voice
  • All sentences fully voiced at A1 level
  • New Restaurant Phrasebook so you can review everything you learned

🔧 Fixes

  • Fixed: items not showing in the inventory (thanks to everyone who reported it!)
  • Fixed: item crafting not opening
  • Fixed: PDF phrasebook formatting
  • Small audio and skip improvements


Both adventures are waiting at your beach camp — jump in from the new portals. Have fun and keep learning! 🏖️
