Because Hebrew is a hard language.

Milo is a Hebrew vocabulary app for iPhone. Each day it sends you a few words — with full nikud, root (shoresh), binyan when relevant, an example sentence, and a translation. Unlike grammar-first or sentence-fluency apps, Milo focuses on the single word — so your Hebrew vocabulary grows in depth, not just in width.

Duolingo teaches Hebrew from zero: alphabet, grammar, sentence drills. Milo assumes you already read Hebrew — and builds your vocabulary from there. Instead of translation games and points, you get hand-curated words with their root, binyan, and context. Milo is not a course; it's an extension. Use Duolingo to start the language; use Milo to deepen it.

Yes — Milo is for people who already read Hebrew. You should be able to recognize the alphabet, understand simple sentences, and know everyday words. If you're a complete beginner, an app like Duolingo or a beginner ulpan is a better first step. When you're ready to go deeper, Milo will be here.

When you open Milo for the first time, it asks you to recognize a few Hebrew words to gauge your level. From there, the algorithm picks words just above where you are — words you're likely to understand but also likely to learn from. As you mark what you know and what you don't, the algorithm adjusts.

Yes. Every word in Milo comes with full nikud — including the example sentence. This is essential for correct pronunciation and for spotting the root (shoresh) of a word. Nikud is hand-written or hand-verified, never auto-generated, to avoid the common mistakes that automated tools make.

You choose — anywhere from one to ten words per day. The default is three words a day, sent at times you set. Notifications work in the background: if you miss a word, it waits for you in the app. There are no streaks to break, no guilt, no pressure to open the app constantly. Milo respects your schedule.

Milo is free to download, and the free version includes enough content to feel the value. A paid subscription will be added later for advanced features (themed packs, detailed statistics). The core experience — daily words with nikud and root — will stay available without payment.

Yes — these are three of our strongest user groups. Milo doesn't replace a textbook or a teacher, but it builds the foundation everything else rests on: vocabulary. For olim preparing for ulpan, students approaching the bagrut, and candidates studying for the psychometry, Milo is a passive way to load hundreds of new words into long-term memory in the months before the test.
