1000 words. Your language to theirs.
Milestone teaches the thousand most useful words in whichever language you're learning, glossed in the one you already speak. Pick any of thirteen on each side, then learn them in flashcards you can run anywhere.

Everything ships inside
A vocabulary base you actually keep
Milestone is one focused thing done well: the core thousand words, in your pair of languages, drilled until they stick. No lessons to sit through, no streak guilt trip, no signal required.
Any language pair
Thirteen languages, and you pick both ends. Learn Japanese from Spanish, French from Arabic, or Korean from English. Every one of the 1000 words exists in all thirteen, so any native-to-target pair just works.
1000 words, 24 categories
A hand-ordered path from greetings and numbers up through food, travel, work, emotions, and abstract ideas. Concrete and easy first, so momentum builds before the words get harder.
Flashcards that stick
Short sessions of fifteen cards. See the word in your target language, flip for the meaning in your own, then mark it learned or still learning. What you know moves out of the way for what you don't.
Streaks and ranks
A daily streak that rewards showing up, a five-rank ladder from Starter to Master, and a daily goal you set. Your progress bar fills toward 1000 as you go.
Works fully offline
All 1000 words in all 13 languages ship inside the app. Study on a plane, on the subway, or with no signal at all. Your progress is kept right on your device.
Private by design
No ads, no trackers, no analytics SDK, no camera or location. Your learning progress never leaves your phone. The only thing in the cloud is the account you sign in with.
Three taps from install to learning
No placement test, no course to schedule. Set your two languages and start turning cards.
Pick your pair
Choose the language you already speak and the one you want to learn. Milestone remembers both and you can switch either at any time.
Learn in flashcards
Work through categories one short session at a time. Flip each card, check the translation, and be honest about what stuck.
Build the habit
Come back tomorrow to keep the streak, climb the rank ladder, and watch 1000 words turn from strangers into recall.
Learn any of these, from any of these
The same 1000 concepts live in every language below, so your native side and your learning side can be any two of them.
Switch either side whenever you like, without losing your progress.
Start on your first hundred words.
Milestone is launching soon on iPhone. Free to start, with a Pro upgrade when you want the whole thousand and every mode.
