Under the hood

What makes it work

🧠
Spaced repetition
SM-2 inspired algorithm schedules every word individually. Words you know come back rarely; words you struggle with come back tomorrow.
📖
Grammar drills
19 lessons from gender and articles up to subjunctive and conditional. Each lesson has rules, worked examples and a quick-fire MCQ drill.
📝
Sentence builder
Drag-and-tap translation practice with distractors. Four levels at GCSE, scaling from present tense through to subjunctive and Higher-register essay phrases.
📄
Reading comprehension
Levelled passages with vocab glossaries and exam-style questions — multiple choice, true/false, and gap-fill. Foundation and Higher splits at GCSE.
🏫
Live classroom games
Gold Rush and Survival — host a room from your laptop, students join with a code on their phones. Real-time leaderboard. Great as a starter or plenary.
📊
Teacher dashboards
Create classes with join codes. See topic-by-topic progress and time on task per student. No PII collection — usernames only.
For Spanish departments

Lesson-ready, spec-aligned, and free.

Built around how Spanish is actually taught in UK schools. Every GCSE topic is mapped to AQA themes and Edexcel contexts. Set it for homework, run it as a starter, share custom word lists with your classes — without paying anything or signing a procurement form.

FAQ

Yes. No paid tier, no ads, no upsell, no "freemium" gating. Built and maintained as a personal project by a teacher.
Only what's needed to function: a chosen username, a hashed PIN, and learning progress. No emails. No real names required. No analytics tracking. No third-party advertising. Data is stored on Firebase (Google Cloud, EU-hosted in europe-west1).
No — guests can use the full app without signing up. Accounts are only needed if students want their progress to sync across devices, or to join a teacher's class.
Yes — Listo is a Progressive Web App. Once loaded, vocabulary, grammar, sentence builder, flashcards and reading all work without wifi. Classroom games and progress sync need an internet connection.
No. The textbook is still the spine of teaching. Listo is the reps — retrieval practice, homework, starters, plenaries and revision. Use it alongside what you already do, not as a replacement.
Spanish only for now. The architecture is language-agnostic; French and German are technically possible but not on the immediate roadmap.
