Every claim comes with its limit.

The product

1. Stated.

   What it is

   ¡YapZee! is a multilingual language-learning app for people 13 and up. A guided day takes about 15 minutes.

   15 minutes is a daily target, not a guaranteed duration.

2. Stated.

   The day

   Four ordered, equally weighted tasks: Speaking Practice 10 minutes, Reading 2, Texting 2, Listening 1.

   Targets, not a promise that setup, review cards and feedback take no time. This is the Romance programme; other programmes have no approved task list yet.

3. Stated.

   Where it stands

   Early product, pre-revenue. Castilian Spanish is the course with development content.

   Mexican Spanish has no completed content or release date. Catalan has no announced date.

4. Plan.

   The roster

   Planned for launch: 21 languages and regional varieties to learn, 11 English courses taught through other languages, and Catalan for Spanish speakers.

   A plan, not availability, and it sets no build order. Each course needs product work, engineering, localization and content first.

The evidence

1. Cited.

   The method's ingredient

   Spaced practice has a medium-to-large effect in second-language learning: 48 experiments, 3,411 participants (Kim and Webb, 2022).

   It supports spaced practice only. It does not show permanent memory, a speed gain or a fluency date, and it did not test the whole ¡YapZee! method.

2. Stated.

   Left out on purpose

   • scientifically proven method
   • retain it permanently
   • four times faster
   • a guaranteed fluency date
   • the only app

   No source shows any of these for ¡YapZee!, so none is claimed.

3. Cited.

   Where learners are

   Millions of people study each of these languages in schools and courses.

   Institutional learner counts, not paying app users. The three are counted differently and must not be added. Checked 2026-09-29.

   Numbers

   No user, revenue or retention figure is published. None has been verified.

   A number appears here only with its period, population and source.

   The tests

   Three tests decide it. Do learners come back? Can they recall after a break? What does a session cost to serve?

   Each needs real learners and a measured period. None has results yet.
