July 24, 2026
🆕 NewA "Next lesson" button now appears when you finish a lesson — jump straight to the next one without going back to the map.
July 23, 2026
🆕 NewPhoto translation: snap a menu, sign or notice and get the whole text translated, right in the translator.
July 21, 2026
🆕 NewLeaderboard: if you're not in the visible part of the list, your rank now appears in a separate row at the bottom.
✨ ImprovedLeagues no longer overflow: players are split into parallel groups of about 30, so the competition stays lively and fair.
🔧 FixedLeaderboard: promotion and relegation zones now display correctly in every league.
🔧 FixedFixed a visual glitch: when scrolling, leaderboard avatars no longer overlap the top menu.
🆕 NewThe profile activity feed now shows the date and time of each event.
July 20, 2026
🔧 Fixed"Build the phrase": removed stray trap tiles — the set now has only the right words.
🆕 NewOn Android you can now install the app (APK) straight from the site.
🆕 NewLeagues now have unique crests — a double-headed eagle in a medallion coloured to its tier, from Bronzi to Diamanti.
🆕 NewLeaderboard: peek into other leagues — tap any league to see who's on top.
✨ ImprovedChat with the eagle: replies in standard Albanian, stays calm with any message, and no longer goes silent.

July 19, 2026
🆕 NewThe trainer now has “Conjugations” (in beta for now). You're given a verb, a person and a tense — and you put it in the right form. Three tenses: present, past and future, 36 common verbs including the tricky irregulars (jam, kam, dua, marr). No Albanian keyboard needed — as in dictation, e instead of ë counts, with the correct spelling highlighted. The “beta” label is there for a reason: conjugation is foundational, and before we drop the beta a native speaker will review every table.
🆕 NewThe Reading section is now Stories. It used to be a text with the translation shown right away — read and done. Now sentences open one by one with audio, the translation appears on tap (so you try to understand first), and comprehension questions with four options pop up as the story goes. At the end — a score and XP. The questions for all 30 texts are checked by hand for meaning and grammar.
🆕 NewThe trainer now has “Dictation” — a phrase plays and you type it in Albanian by ear. It's the most honest listening test: not multiple choice, but reproduction. No Albanian keyboard needed — type e instead of ë or c instead of ç and it still counts, with the correct spelling highlighted so you remember. Small typos are forgiven too. Phrases come only from lessons you have already completed — nothing from future topics.
July 18, 2026
🆕 NewAvatar frames are now earned through leagues, not bought with gems. For each league you climbed past you get its frame: move up from Gold and the gold frame is yours. There are ten frames, one per league, all animated — from a calm ring at Bronze to a shimmering rainbow neon at Diamond. A frame reflects your current league: climb and you gain a new one, drop out of a league and its frame is removed, though lower ones stay. A new frame is equipped automatically; you can remove or switch it in your profile. Purchasable frames have been removed from the shop.
✨ ImprovedThe figurine next to your avatar now has a rarity background: grey for common, blue for rare, violet for epic, gold for legendary, pink for mythic. The value of your collection is visible at a glance, without opening the profile.
✨ ImprovedIn your profile, “Words in review” is replaced by a legendary-lessons counter, next to the gold one. It's a clearer picture of how many lessons you've maxed out.
🔧 FixedFixed lesson assembly. In lessons without ready-made phrases (mostly the early ones — numbers, family, food, home) a lesson could shrink to just a couple of exercises: one “match the pairs” task wrongly covered half the words and the rest of the questions dropped out. Now every word in the lesson gets its own question, and “match the pairs” comes as an addition, not a replacement. Lessons are full and varied again.
✨ ImprovedAnswer options in review and the trainer now make sense. Before, the word “Wednesday” could be offered alongside “lion”, “shoes” and “stock market” — the right answer was obvious at a glance. Now the wrong options come from the same topic: for a weekday, other weekdays; for a number, numbers; for food, food. That is a real test of knowledge, not a filter for nonsense.
🆕 NewAfter a review session there is now a “Review more” button — you can grab a fresh batch of words right away without going back home.
🔧 FixedReworked five B2+ lessons (conditional sentences, verbal nouns, building and rephrasing an argument). They used to contain listening tasks only — with sound off, the lesson was empty. We added phrase-building and fill-in exercises on the same vetted material, so these lessons can now be done without headphones too.
🔧 FixedUnified the spelling of the city name to “Джирокастра” (Gjirokastër). The site previously had three different spellings; we went with the one that matches how the name actually sounds in Albanian — as suggested by a native speaker from that very city.
July 17, 2026
🆕 NewYour profile now has a “Login & security” section. It shows which methods you can sign in with and lets you add a backup: set a password if you use Google or Telegram, or add an email if we do not have one. This matters: if Telegram is your only way in and you lose access to it, there is no way back into your account. So we ask once after your first sign-in, and after that the setting lives in your profile.
🔧 FixedThe booster timer showed nonsense: a long boost looked like “101607:15” because the format was built for fifteen minutes, not seventy days. Now it reads properly: “70 d 12 h”, “2 h 15 min” or “14:30”, depending on what is left.
✨ ImprovedThe site footer now has contacts: Telegram @d_medvedko and email admin@shqiptare.net. Found a mistake in a lesson, an odd translation, or just want to suggest something — write to us, a real person reads it.
🆕 NewYou can now sign in with Google or Telegram — one click, no password. If you previously registered by email and then sign in with Google using the same address, you land in your existing account: streak, XP and figurines all stay where they were.
🆕 NewA forgotten password is no longer a dead end: the login page now has a “Forgot password?” link — enter your email, get a message with a link, set a new one. The link is valid for an hour.
✨ ImprovedSigning up by email now sends a confirmation message. This is not red tape: one of our learners studied for a week having mistyped their address into one that does not exist — recovering the password would have been impossible. Now a typo shows up immediately.
🆕 NewFigurines are no longer only for sale — you can earn them by studying. Each level gives two: one for completing half of its lessons, one for the whole level. A1 gives the coffee cup and byrek, A2 the cifteli and the Ksamil boat, B1 Gjirokaster and Berat, B2 the bunker and Skanderbeg, B2+ the Blue Eye and the double-headed eagle. You can still buy anything, but if you bought a figurine and later reached the level that grants it for free, your gems are refunded in full. The shop now shows how many lessons are left until each figurine is earned.
🔧 FixedA major proofreading pass over lesson phrases. All 2,648 phrases added for exercise variety were carefully reviewed for grammar, naturalness and translation accuracy. We found and fixed 108 real errors. Among them: "tall man" was rendered as burri i lartë, though a person's height calls for i gjatë; ordinals were written i pesti instead of i pestë; blue socks were kam çorape të blu, though blu takes no të. We also fixed Russian prompts that read unnaturally.

🆕 NewThe shop finally has things worth buying. Gems used to pile up much faster than you could spend them: apart from a streak freeze and short boosts there was nothing to get. Now there is repair for a broken streak, avatar frames, titles, boosts for an hour and for a whole day, extra messages for the AI chat partner, and gifting gems to a friend straight from their page.
🆕 NewA figurine collection has arrived — ten digital pieces about Albania: a coffee cup, byrek, a Ksamil boat, a cifteli, Berat, Gjirokaster, Skanderbeg, a bunker, the double-headed eagle and the Blue Eye. Each has its own rarity, from common to mythic, and its own price. Purchased ones go on the shelf in your profile, sorted by rarity, and visitors to your page can see them. Any one can be equipped: it will then appear next to your avatar in the leaderboard and the friends feed.
🆕 NewEleven new achievements — for collecting and for spending: your first figurine, your first epic, legendary and mythic one, half the collection, your first purchase, your first gift to a friend, and milestones at 10,000 and 50,000 gems spent. The full set of ten figurines grants 2,000 gems and the title "Koleksionisti" — the only title that cannot be bought at any price, only earned.
✨ ImprovedFrames, titles and equipped figurines are now visible everywhere an avatar appears: your own profile, another learner's page, the leaderboard and the friends feed. Before, what you bought decorated only your own page — which meant almost nobody saw it.
🔧 FixedThe trainer's Weak spots section finally works. It used to include only words you failed in Review, ignoring mistakes in the lessons themselves — so for most people it was empty, as if you never made a mistake. Now lesson mistakes count too: miss an exercise and its word shows up in Weak spots, with the most-missed words on top.
✨ ImprovedDaily quests are no longer the same every day. There used to be three fixed ones, and two of the three were just 'earn XP'. Now there's a pool of ten, and each day you get your own set of three: one easy and two of different kinds. New ones: finish a lesson with no mistakes, take a lesson to gold, review 20 words, warm up in the trainer, chat with the eagle.
✨ ImprovedReminders got smarter and more varied: instead of five catch-all lines there are now over a hundred, and the text fits your situation. Words due for review — we'll mention them; just short of your daily goal — we'll say how much is left; a week without a single XP — we'll hint that the league is moving without you. The tone differs too: a 3-day streak and a 200-day streak are not the same stakes.
✨ ImprovedLessons stopped repeating themselves. There used to be one exercise per word, so every level looked the same. Now each word has several exercise types, every word has a listening task, and the type is picked by level and changes on every run. From the middle of the course, phrase exercises were added: fill the gap and build the phrase.
🆕 NewReading is five times bigger: 30 texts from A1 to B2+, six per level, all with audio and translation. A level switcher at the top shows just the texts for your level.
🆕 NewAlready know some Albanian? No need to start from scratch: newcomers can take a placement test. It goes in blocks from A1 to B2+, stops itself when it gets hard, and unlocks the course at the right point. Disagree with the result? You can retake it.
🆕 NewChat now has missions: order a coffee and ask the price, sort things out with a taxi driver, check into a hotel. Your partner stays in character and quietly tracks the goal, then gives you a review — what went well, what went wrong, and how to say it better. Completing a mission earns XP.
✨ ImprovedThe leaderboard now shows avatars, and names and photos are clickable — jump straight to a rival's profile.
🔧 FixedReplaying a legendary lesson no longer gives XP: those are the easiest tasks and were being used to farm XP for contests. Gems for replays stay.
🔧 FixedIf you earn no XP during the week, your league no longer changes: no promotion and no relegation without activity, wherever you end up in the table.
🔧 FixedSmall things: the Correct/Wrong feedback moved below the button, so it no longer jumps down after you answer; lesson instructions were polished for consistency.
July 8, 2026
🆕 NewAchievements now come with rewards! Each one grants gems and a ×2 XP boost — the harder the achievement, the bigger the reward (top ones give a full month of boost and a pile of gems). A nice popup appears on the home page when you earn one.
🆕 NewNew achievements added: language levels A1–B2+, friends (for follows), contest wins (top 3 and 1st place) and reaching the top league.
🆕 NewA personal language-level card is here: your current level, when you reached it and a history of past levels. Share the link — the preview shows your level nicely.
🆕 NewWhen a friend nudges you, opening the notification shows a popup with their avatar and a 'Nudge back' button.
✨ ImprovedThe interface got more polished: consistent, gender-neutral wording throughout.
✨ ImprovedAvatars now appear in the leaderboard, and on phones there's a handy hamburger menu with language, profile and logout.
🔧 FixedFixes: the 'Stats' percentile of learners you're ahead of is now correct, the menu updates right after login, and the 'Nudge' timer starts instantly.
July 7, 2026
🆕 NewContests are here! Compete for prizes: earn XP over 7 or 30 days, follow the leaderboard on the 'Contest' page, and winners get rewards when it ends. A transparent history of past contests and winners is right below.
✨ ImprovedFriends got livelier: comments on feed events, push notifications for follows, reactions and comments, and a 'Nudge' button on a friend's profile for a friendly lesson reminder.
🆕 NewYou can now set a profile photo — upload an avatar on your page and it shows up in the feed and on your profile.
🆕 NewAdded privacy: you can hide your activity in your profile, so friends won't see your events in the feed or on your page.
🆕 NewFriends are here! Follow other learners, watch their wins in the feed and cheer with reactions ❤️🔥👏🎉. Share your own profile via a link.
✨ ImprovedNow, when a streak freeze saves your streak, we tell you right away on the home screen. Freezes also got smarter: several freezes cover several missed days in a row.
July 6, 2026
🆕 NewAdded a language level score (A1–B2+, up to 150): your score grows with every lesson you complete, sections show their point ranges, and reaching a new level pops a congrats you can share.
🔧 FixedFixed the leaderboard: it could appear empty at the start of a new week, and weekly league promotions now settle correctly every Monday.
✨ ImprovedThe section menu now shows levels: the path is split into A1, A2, B1, B2 and B2+, so you can see where you are and what’s ahead.
🆕 NewLevel B2+ is here! Advanced grammar: the past conditional (“would have done”), relative pronouns (i cili / me të cilin), complex and concessive clauses, tense agreement in reported speech, and causatives.
🆕 NewB2+: advanced vocabulary — politics and the state, economy and finance, law and justice, science and technology, media, culture and the arts.
🆕 NewB2+: discourse skills — argumentation and essay connectors, expressing certainty and hedging, summarizing, debate and rhetoric, advanced idioms and formal register.
🆕 NewLevel B2: the admirative (habitore) and optative (dëshirore) moods, the passive, reported speech, gerunds and clitics; topics — society, opinions, idioms, formal register; plus advanced dialogues.
🆕 NewLevel B is now complete: added the cases (genitive, dative, ablative), the subjunctive and conditional moods, and past tenses (aorist and imperfect).
🆕 NewLevel B: lots of new topics and real-life dialogues — work and careers, home and renting, health, travel and booking, tech; plus situations: complaints and returns, job interviews, the bank, the doctor’s, renting a flat.
🔧 FixedA big quality pass: we reviewed every lesson with two AI models and a native speaker, fixed grammar, spelling and translations (e.g. “Kam njëzet vjeç” → “Jam njëzet vjeç”), and re-recorded the corrected phrases.
July 5, 2026
🔧 FixedRemoved the incorrect Vlorë word variants (a faulty q→k rule) — everything now shows correct standard Albanian, without typos like “Trekind” or “kenë”.
✨ ImprovedIn the AI trainer, clickable section buttons now appear under the eagle's reply: if it points you to Word cards, Reading or Lessons, you can jump there in one tap.
✨ ImprovedThe AI trainer (the eaglet) now knows the site's sections: ask where to find lessons, cards or reading, or how to practice something, and it points you to the right place while staying in its Albanian style.
🆕 NewStreak push reminders: turn them on from the home page (“🔔 Turn on reminders”) and the eaglet will nudge you in the evenings — gently or not — to keep your streak.
🆕 NewLeague rewards: the top 3 of each league earn gems at the weekly reset, and a weekly-results popup on the home page shows your place, promotion/relegation and reward.
🆕 NewA “Stats” page: XP, active days and new lessons for the week, month and all time, plus “ahead of N% of learners” and your streak.
🆕 New“Explain my answer”: after a mistake on a phrase or verb, tap “💡 Explain” — the AI briefly breaks down the grammar and the correct form.
✨ ImprovedThe legendary level is now fairer: tapping a word no longer reveals a translation hint.
🆕 NewStreak milestones: bonus gems for 7, 14, 30, 60, 100, 180 and 365-day streaks + a celebration screen at the end of a lesson.
🆕 NewXP boost ×2 timer on the home page and in the shop; the lesson summary shows the breakdown «base · ⚡×2 → total».
🆕 NewA “Report an issue” button right in the lesson — feedback and suggestions from natives go straight to the developer.
🔧 FixedThe ×2 boost no longer “expired” due to the server timezone; buying it again now stacks the time instead of resetting it.
🔧 FixedEvery word in a lesson is now guaranteed to appear in exercises — previously some words (e.g. the numbers 2 and 9) might never show up.
✨ ImprovedExpanded the vocabulary: numbers 60–90 and 1000, the colour brown, the pronoun “they (fem.)”, informal “hi”, and more phrases in dialogue lessons.
July 4, 2026
🆕 NewAlbanian translator (text and voice) — natural, non-literal translation with audio and saving words to flashcards.
🆕 NewAI conversation trainer: chat with the eaglet in scenarios (café, market, taxi); it gently corrects your mistakes.
🆕 NewCourse map as chapter cards with progress; you can “jump” to a locked lesson by passing a placement test.
✨ ImprovedWord flashcards: 20 themed decks with images and audio.
✨ ImprovedRebranding to “Shqipo”, a new banner and SEO titles on every page.
