Homeword: Language Micro-Lessons

Inspiration

I call my grandparents every week. Because they’re not fluent in English, I push myself to speak in our family language—and over time I realized the hardest part wasn’t grammar, it was missing the exact words I needed to talk about my real day-to-day life.

The gap

Most language apps are great for beginners and structured lessons, but once you can already “get by,” it’s harder to find tools that help you expand vocabulary in a personalized way.

The idea

Homeword delivers a daily micro-lesson directly in a push notification (translation + example sentence). Inside the app, it builds lightweight review tools around those words (flashcards/quizzes) so learning stays consistent without feeling heavy.
