Build your boat
Earn ship parts by hitting daily goals, then customize your vessel in the editor. It shows up in your cutscenes, loading screens, and on the map.

Why a voyage
Practice that moves, not a stack of cards.
Shaded connects vocabulary, grammar, listening, translation, and recall into a single route. Each stop is chosen from your live progress, so review feels targeted — without asking you to tune decks or sort queues.
How it works
See exactly how a lesson works.
No flashcards to grind. Shaded builds fresh prompts from the words and grammar you are ready for, then adapts the moment your answers change.
01
Whole sentences, both directions
Translate into and out of Japanese, Spanish, or English. You practice comprehension and production from the first session — real sentences, not isolated fragments.
02
It notices what is slipping.
Every answer is broken into concepts — a word, an ending, a grammar pattern. Spaced repetition brings each one back right before you would forget it, with no schedule to manage.
03
Many ways to practice.
Flow sessions, reading passages, tutor chats, reality checks, and goals all live on one home map and draw from the same progress model — so switching modes never resets your difficulty.
New in 2.0
Your progress is a voyage you can see.
Every session moves your ship along a real map. Hit your daily goal and you keep sailing toward the next destination — and the reward waiting there.
Stay on course
Keep your streak and the ship sails true. Miss your daily goal and it drifts off course — run aground on an island and it costs a day to get back on route.
Reel in rewards
Play the fishing mini-game between stops, where your skill shapes the catch. Arrive at a harbor and a cutscene rolls out your reward.
Make it yours
Tune the voice, the topics, the challenge.
Pick your tutor's voice
A clear, encouraging coach by default — or hand the mic to a pirate, butler, cat, or caveman when you want the route narrated with a little attitude.
Practice what you care about
Choose themes like food, travel, or daily routines so the sentences you drill actually sound like your life.
Hints that scale with you
Turn scaffolding up while a pattern is new and ease it off as it sticks. A quick placement sets your starting level so nothing feels too easy or too steep.
Earn your look
Daily goals unlock ship parts, custom themes, and new stretches of the map — progress you can see and show off.
Now on the web
Start on your phone. Keep going in the browser.
The web app gives Shaded a real production home at shaded.app, synced with your phone so a longer session at a desk picks up exactly where your commute left off.

Built for the messy middle
Three languages. Every device. One adaptive route.
Shaded is for the stretch between knowing a rule and using it naturally — the part most apps skip.
