WHERE IT STANDS
Playable browser prototype
Try the current app in your browser. English localization is partial: some lessons and labels remain in Russian. This is a prototype, so detection and exercises may need refinement.
The browser demo is built from the existing app. Learning exercises are not a validated measure of critical-thinking ability.
