The Powerplay method

Three steps. No grammar drills. No tests.

The whole method fits in a sentence: listen, repeat aloud, listen again. Your brain does the rest — automatically, at your own pace.

1
Audio plays
A sentence plays in the language you want to learn. You read along in your own language. No rushing.
2
Silence. Your turn.
The audio pauses. You repeat the sentence aloud. As many times as you want. No one is listening. No one is judging.
3
Audio plays again
The sentence plays once more. You compare what you said to what you hear. That gap is where language enters your brain.

"The Powerplay method is brutally simple: the audio plays, waits — you repeat the sentence aloud — then it plays again. Automatically. At your speed. As many times as it takes."

The setting

One island.
Seven languages.

aioPop takes place in Sardinia. Leonardo wakes up in Cagliari, where his grandfather points out a quarantined boat off the port carrying an Ebola patient. Then his phone rings — it's his girlfriend, and things between them are complicated.

Twenty episodes, a coherent story, a defined cast of characters who reappear throughout. The same story — the same characters, the same world — told in six languages.

Special projects

Beyond the main courses

Dedicated adventures with their own stories, sites, and voices.
