MiniLesson now has an AI assistant built into the activity. Describe the lesson you want, approve the plan it shows you, and it builds the items.

WordCards is a new MiniLesson item for practicing vocabulary. There are four practice types - listen and type, listen and choose, type the word, choose the word.

Four new MiniLesson item types landed over the last couple of months - Cards and WordCards for vocabulary, Video Shadowing for speaking along with YouTube, and Multichoice Quiz for questions about a passage.

TTS Dialog is one of the quieter features in MiniLesson, turning short scripts into spoken conversations. We've completely revamped the player with full transcripts, playback controls, and tap-to-translate.

Automatically fetching a YouTube video's subtitles turned out to be a losing battle - here's what we tried, what we removed, and the manual fallback we landed on.

Every item type in MiniLesson - Multichoice, Dictation, Shadow, Cards and around 30 others - is now its own self-contained plugin, and adding a new one no longer touches the core plugin at all.
