Guided Grammar Lessons

Guided Grammar Lessons are the curriculum side of LinguaMorpha: a fixed sequence of lessons that introduce vocabulary and grammar progressively, with no decisions for you to make about scope. Use them when you'd rather follow a path than build one.

The home screen has two Guided Grammar Lesson catalogues, each opened from its own card:

  • Verb Grammar Lessons (orange) — a structured path through Spanish conjugation, one tense at a time.
  • Noun Grammar Lessons (red) — gender, pluralisation, and the patterns Spanish nouns follow.

Both catalogues share the same lesson engine and use the same Study / Practice rhythm — but their content is independent, so you can work through verbs and nouns in parallel without one blocking the other.

The module list

Inside a catalogue, lessons are grouped into modules — themed sections like Present – Regular Verbs or Pretérito Indefinido. Each module is a tappable header showing:

  • The module's name
  • A progress count (e.g. 3 / 10) — how many of its lessons you've completed
  • A chevron indicating whether the module is currently expanded

Tap the header to expand the module and see its lessons. Tap again to collapse it. Modules remember their state across navigation.

The first row inside an expanded module is an introduction — a "Lesson 0" that explains what the module is about, often with a reference table (e.g. the present-tense endings for -ar/-er/-ir verbs). Read this before starting Lesson 1.

Module introductions and Study Aids

Each module ships with two kinds of reference material:

Module introduction — opened from the first row of an expanded module. A short narrative explaining the grammar this module covers, plus one or more reference tables (endings, irregular forms, contrasts). The introduction stays available throughout the module — re-open it any time you need a refresher.

Study Aids — module-level reference cards that appear inside lesson detail screens. They display the same reference table at the top of each lesson where it's relevant. For example, the present-tense endings table appears at the top of every lesson in Present – Regular Verbs, filtered to show only the family (-ar, -er, -ir) the current lesson is about.

The Study Aids are what makes the lessons usable without flipping between screens — the reference is always where you need it.

Inside a lesson

Each lesson is divided into two phases.

Phase 1 — Study. Before testing yourself you can review the material:

  • The Verbs screen lists all the verbs in the lesson, with newly-introduced verbs clearly labelled. Tapping any verb opens its full conjugation table restricted to the tenses the lesson covers, so you are not overwhelmed by forms that are not relevant yet.
  • If the lesson includes nouns or phrases, dedicated screens list those too.
  • Tense info sheets are available inline — tap an info icon on any tense card to get the explanation (endings, usage notes, example sentences) without leaving the lesson.

Phase 2 — Practice. Once you feel ready, work through the exercises. Depending on the lesson, these may include verb meaning flashcards, conjugation drills, noun flashcards, and phrase flashcards.

A Cumulative practice toggle (default: off) lets you broaden the practice pool to include everything introduced in earlier lessons in the same catalogue, not just the current one. Useful once you've built up some vocabulary and want to keep the older material warm. The choice is sticky across lessons.

Recap lessons

Some lessons are recaps — end-of-module "What we've learned" entries that have no Study or Practice phase of their own. They render as a header plus a short explanation summarising what the previous lessons in the module covered. Use them to check your understanding before moving on.

Marking a lesson complete

A lesson is marked complete when you have answered enough questions correctly to meet the threshold. The app will nudge you if you try to mark it done too early. Once complete, the next lesson in the module unlocks. You can tap Mark done again on a completed lesson to un-tick it if you want to revisit it.

A Reset All Progress button at the bottom of the catalogue clears all completion marks (after a confirmation) — useful if you want to start the curriculum over fresh.

When to switch to Self Study

Guided Grammar Lessons are a great starting point and a good "checkpoint" tool. But if you find yourself wanting to:

  • spend longer on a specific tense or verb group,
  • drill a particular topic (food, travel, body, …) until it's automatic,
  • focus on the noun gender of A1 vocabulary,

…then Self Study gives you the controls. Many learners switch between the two modes depending on the week.
