English learning app

Learn from courses your own mistakes — right where you make them.

Reading articles and watching videos is easy. Writing without the same old mistakes is the hard part. YabLab lives in your browser and on your Mac, turns your day into exercises — and you can review them from your phone.

Your whole day, quietly turned into practice

  1. 01 / 05

    Keep doing what you love

    Videos, blogs, emails, chats — you don’t change a thing about your day.

  2. 02 / 05

    YabLab turns it into material

    Slips become explained corrections in your error profile. New words become flashcards.

  3. 03 / 05

    Target your actual gaps

    Spaced repetition brings each mistake back right before you’d forget it — until it’s gone.

  4. 04 / 05

    Know when a rule is truly mastered

    Mastered, fading, or at risk — every rule has a status. Wins get celebrated; a slipping rule gets a quick rescue drill.

  5. 05 / 05

    Watch your mistakes disappear

    YabLab tracks more than study time: which mistakes keep coming back, which rules are improving, and how the quality of your language changes over time.

Does YabLab read everything I type?

No. Checking is off until you explicitly turn it on, and you can pause it or disable it per site in one click. Text is sent for checking only while it is on, and is never sold or used for advertising.

What is free — and will it stay free?

The dictionary, flashcards, spaced repetition and your error profile are free for good. Daily AI allowances (30 checks today) may be tuned during the alpha as we learn real usage — but a useful free tier is part of the model.

Which languages can I learn?

English, Russian, German and Spanish are available today — learn English with explanations in your native language, or the other way around. French and Italian follow.

How is YabLab different from a grammar checker or language course?

Most grammar checkers fix the current sentence and stop there. Courses give everyone the same pre-written material. YabLab saves the words and mistakes that are actually yours, turns them into a personal learning profile, and brings them back through targeted practice and spaced repetition. The goal isn’t just to correct today’s sentence — it’s to help you stop making the same mistake. Your error profile is also a ready-made track of your weak spots — a perfect starting point for working with a tutor.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — within 14 days. Payments run through Paddle, our merchant of record, so refunds are handled reliably.

Where does it work?

Everywhere you learn: the Chrome extension (and other Chromium browsers) and the Mac app — it translates any text on screen and checks your writing in any app. On iPhone — flashcards and drills for practice on the go. The web app works in any browser; Firefox is next.
