Create Courses

Practice content that matches your goal.

Custom courses are for learners who want sentence practice around a class, trip, exam topic, workplace need, or personal material.

When to create a course

Create a course when built-in material is close but not specific enough. Good custom topics include travel phrases, class vocabulary, HSK weak areas, work conversations, or family phrases.

Basic workflow

  1. Choose a clear topic.
  2. Add or generate sentence material.
  3. Keep lessons short enough to finish.
  4. Practice the course in Guided or Watch Mode.
  5. Use Review to keep missed custom sentences active.

Import your own materials

Imported material works best when it can become short, useful sentences. Avoid turning a large block of text into one lesson; break it into smaller learning units.

Beginner mistake

Do not make the first custom course too broad. A focused topic creates better practice and clearer Review.

Course types
