New Media Support

• Audio-based song recognition, provided in partnership with ACRCloud, makes it easy to discover synced lyrics in your target language. Please see below for more details on ACRCloud.

Vocab Exercises Expanded

• Added manual upload functionality to customize your learning materials
• More robust vocab management features

Added Dialects

• Some languages now support dialects to consolidate selections for features like voice accents and conjugations/pronouns (in certain languages)
• This is a work in progress, please let me know if you find more features that should be dialect-specific

This is a big update for Practy and a step towards my vision of a consolidated place to consume content and do deliberate practice. I plan to expand the content browsing and continue improving the practice exercises. If you're a heavy user of the conjugation exercise, don't worry. I have plans to expand and improve it further. I'm still a solo developer, so please be patient if you encounter any bugs.

Please leave feedback and share your thoughts on the new features!

• Spanish and French conjugation exercises now have an example mode toggle that allows you to study in context of sentences, check it out!
• Rebranded from Practica to Practy with new logo and URL. Please update your bookmarks accordingly! The old URL will continue to work for now and will redirect to the new one.

If anyone is curious, it's due to another language learning app with a similar name to Practica. Apologies for any confusion!

• Spaced Repetition: Practica now offers Plus users an Anki-inspired spaced repetition algorithm to optimize the learning process. Currently only available for the Conjugator.

Note on Verb Availability

• For every language, only 40 verbs are now available for free, while 100 verbs are available for Plus users. I plan on adding additional verbs to the premium list.
• I have carefully selected the 40 verbs available for free to include the most common verbs and verbs of each type for learning purposes.
• This is the only previously available feature that now requires Plus. I apologize for any affect on your learning experience but this is the best path forward for the freemium model. If you have questions about my plan going forward, please see the new FAQ section in the footer or reach out to me personally.
