EARLY PRODUCT · PRE-REVENUE
Build the ability. Keep the curiosity.
A busy learner needs a useful next step and less material to organize. ¡YapZee! puts listening, reading and conversation into a planned daily sequence.
The first product is language learning for busy adults. Earlier difficulties help determine what needs more practice.

A day built for practice
A regular language day has four required tasks, in order: a story podcast, reading, texting and listening. Fifteen minutes is the daily target.
The story task includes vocabulary review. The next task opens only after the one before it is finished.
Words that come back
The memory system uses recall and task responses to plan later practice. A learner who misses days gets a way back into the routine.
The aim is learning that carries into a new conversation. That outcome needs delayed assessments with real learners.
Pick a topic. See what catches your eye.
A world to talk about
Current Events brings language practice into sports, culture, music and more. Learners can read or listen to material about what is happening around the world.
It sits alongside the four-task routine, giving people more to talk about in the language they are learning.
More ways to think
Math starts with college algebra, short interactive explanations and hands-on tablet work. Music combines theory and ear training to support musicianship.
Both are experimental. The next step is one adult app with Language, Math and Music, where a learner picks a subject without taking on three separate daily routines.
Two minutes for your own words
The iPad journal is an optional fifth language activity. Learners write with Apple Pencil for two minutes on college-ruled paper, with a prompt and six optional words and expressions at their level, with translations, beside the page.
When the two minutes are up, the journal gives grammar feedback on the writing. Taking part earns XP, with no word target and no XP loss. It needs the native iPad app; phones and browsers don't support it.
One planned subscription
The regular plans are $20 a month or $150 a year. Math and Music are included when available.
Billing is not live. Operating costs include generated lessons, speech, live conversations, storage and hosting. Paid-use margins remain unvalidated.
What needs evidence next
Do people return after the first week? After missing a day? Can they use what they learn in an unfamiliar example? What does a completed session cost to serve?
Those questions drive the next product tests. The goal is to understand useful learning and the business required to sustain it.
Learning that grows with a person
The company's ambition runs from childhood through older adulthood: helping people think, express themselves and make things of their own.
Kids and Creators are future products. The current focus is the adult learning app. Castilian Spanish has lessons available. Catalan is coming next, without a release date.
Built by one person
Pisith is bootstrapped today and open to investor conversations. Managed services handle work that would otherwise add recurring operational tasks.
The business needs to fit one person's working week as well as the learner's day. Talk to Pisith.
