How lessons work
Small sessions. Difficulty in the right order.
- 01
Recognise it first
Tier 1 uses listening and word tiles, so you can learn without speaking or typing.
- 02
Produce it next
Tier 2 unlocks written translation and pronunciation once recognition is mastered.
- 03
Keep lessons short
Each session targets ten correct answers. Material repeats until it is complete, and progress is always saved.
- 04
Practise or test
Practice can pause listening or speaking. Test mode makes every assigned exercise mandatory.

Who makes it
Built by the people behind Journey Pal.
Journey Pal makes information accessible through translated text and audio for museums and heritage sites. Shantytown Heritage Park, the New Zealand Rugby Museum, Bill Richardson Transport World and Tūhura Otago Museum are among the venues running it.
Words Atlas grew from that work. It now helps individuals build confidence for daily life and gives organisations a practical way to teach the language their people need.
