Our hypothesis

We believe you can acquire any language this way.

We believe you can acquire any language this way, based on second language acquisition research. I give you more understandable language, more often, around your real life.

Input should be understandable.

Krashen's input hypothesis made the strong version of this claim famous: acquisition is driven by input the learner can understand, with something just beyond the current level. We treat that as a product promise, not a guarantee.

Interaction can make input clearer.

Long, Pica, and Mackey give reasons to care about back-and-forth conversation: it creates repairs, confirmations, recasts, and active participation. That is a good fit for Ozzz because it responds to what you actually say.

Output matters, but not as performance theater.

Swain argued that producing language can push learners to notice gaps. You can speak freely here without turning every sentence into a correction.

Frequency matters.

Usage-based accounts from Ellis and statistical learning work from Saffran, Aslin, and Newport support a modest idea: repeated exposure to patterns is part of how language becomes familiar.
