Start with what’s clear
Build from simple words and meanings you already understand. Each new idea has somewhere to land.
Go beyond remembering a translation. Understand a word, make it your own, and build your English from there.
One meaning at a time. At your own pace.
The word you use to refer to yourself.
From “I remember it” to “I understand it.”
The Lymi method
A translation is a beginning. Real understanding comes when you can connect a word to your own life.
In the place where you are.
Imagine pointing to the spot where you’re standing. That place is “here”.
A word connected to your world.
Point to the chair you’re sitting on: “here”.
You can explain the situation in Russian and use just the English word you’re learning.
Which place is “here”?
Try it above. This is a small taste of learning with Lymi.
Let’s find an example from your life. Where is “here” for you right now?
An example of a conversation with Sofia
Meet Sofia
Sofia is your AI learning companion. Talk through a meaning, ask another question, and try your own example. There’s room to figure it out.
Build from simple words and meanings you already understand. Each new idea has somewhere to land.
Explore words with Sofia or open a separate grammar lesson. Each track keeps its own progress.
Your learning progress stays with you. Pause, return, and keep building on what you know.
A little more clarity
Lymi is for people who want to build their English from a clear understanding of words. The current iOS beta is designed for Russian-speaking learners, with Russian explanations and English study words.
You work through one meaning at a time: an explanation, context, your own examples, and a check of understanding. The aim is to know what a word means and when to use it, beyond recalling its translation.
You can read and learn independently. Voice lessons with Sofia are an additional way to practise and require sign-in, microphone access, and an internet connection.
Lymi is currently in private testing for iPhone with iOS 17 or later. There is no public download yet. If you already have the beta installed, use “Open Lymi” to return to the app.
A word, a conversation, a little more confidence.
