What learners say

Went from 38% to 72% Film Match on Breaking Bad in under 3 weeks — and I actually understand jokes now, not just plot.

M

Maria K.

Marketing Manager, Berlin · learning English

Added ~440 new words from 4 movies in 6 weeks. As an engineer I love seeing every SRS value — no black box.

T

Thomas R.

Inception was at 45% for me. After 6 weeks with LEWE it's 78%. Watching it again without subtitles felt surreal.
