# WireLingo

> AI-powered language learning platform that teaches through authentic real-world news articles — not drills, flashcards, or artificial dialogues.

WireLingo is a subscription web platform at https://wirelingo.com. It pairs daily curated news content with AI-driven learning tools so users acquire language through meaningful exposure: reading genuine articles, hearing native-speaker audio, and getting instant help from an AI tutor named Sage. The core philosophy is contextual immersion — language learned through real meaning sticks better than vocabulary lists or grammar drills.

Supported languages: Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, English.
Difficulty levels: Beginner, Lower Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, Advanced — aligned with CEFR (A1–C1), HSK (Mandarin), and JLPT (Japanese).
News topics: 17+ categories including Technology, Science, Business, Politics, Environment, Health, Culture, Sport, History, and more.

Plans: free trial (no credit card required), Core (limited AI calls per month), Max (unlimited AI access). Lifetime locked-in pricing for early subscribers.

## Sage — AI Language Tutor

Sage is WireLingo's built-in AI tutor, available throughout the reading experience. It adapts to the learner's proficiency level.

- **Sage Assist** — Tap any sentence in an article for a contextual translation. Sage reads the whole article first, so translations are accurate and natural rather than word-for-word.
- **Sage Word Insights** — Click any word for a deep breakdown: definition, grammar role, usage patterns, and real-world context across all supported languages.
- **Sage Fluency Calls** — Live spoken conversation practice with Sage in the target language. Sage adjusts its speaking pace, gently corrects errors, and steers conversation to topics within the learner's ability.
- **Sage Article Sessions** — Open a full chat with Sage about any article to explore cultural context, ask follow-up questions, or go deeper on any language point.

Core users receive a fixed monthly allowance of Sage calls and assists. Max users have unlimited access to all Sage features.

## WireWaves — Audio Streaming Mode

WireWaves is WireLingo's hands-free audio mode. Articles play continuously in a radio-style stream — one after another in the user's chosen language and level — connected by short narrated introductions between segments. Users can:

- Choose playback speed and regional accent (e.g. Castilian vs Latin American Spanish, American vs British English)
- Switch accents mid-stream without losing their place
- Use WireWaves while commuting, exercising, or away from a screen

WireWaves is available to Max subscribers, with a monthly preview included for Core and trial users.

## Audio & Accents

Every article has professional audio narration recorded across regional accents. Variants are available for several languages:

- Spanish: Castilian and Latin American
- English: American and British
- French, German, Mandarin, Japanese: standard native-speaker voices

## Revision Hub

The Revision Hub is WireLingo's personal vocabulary and grammar bank. Users save words and grammar patterns from articles, then practise them in spaced-repetition sessions. Seven modes: Learn New, Practice Weak, Reinforce, Retain, Mixed Practice, Daily Review, and Zen Mode.

## Analytics & Gamification

Users earn XP for reading articles, listening to audio, saving vocabulary, completing quizzes, using Sage, and maintaining daily reading streaks. The Analytics Dashboard shows reading time, articles completed, vocabulary growth, quiz performance, and streak history.
