The Personal Tutor is a conversational assistant built into every flashcard. Ask it about the word on the current card: its grammar, usage, collocations, register, cultural context, etymology, pronunciation, and more.
Note
The Personal Tutor is a flangu Pro feature.
Opening the Personal Tutor
The tutor is accessible from three screens. In each context it opens the same interface, scoped to the word on the card you are currently viewing.

The chat interface
The tutor opens as a panel that slides up from the bottom of the screen.
Before you send a message, the welcome state shows the current card's translation pair: the front word and the back word, each with its language flag. Tap either row to select which side's word will be used as the focus when you tap a quick-action prompt.
Type any question in the input field and tap the send button. Responses stream in as they are generated. Each tutor reply is formatted: it can include bold text, bullet lists, and structured sections where relevant.
Quick-action prompts
When a card has a recognised part of speech, a row of quick-action prompts sits above the input field in the welcome state. These are pre-written question shortcuts tailored to the word's grammatical category.
Tapping a pill sends the question immediately, using the word from whichever side is selected in the translation pair above.
A few examples by part of speech:
| Part of speech | Example prompt labels |
|---|---|
| Noun | Real-life usage, Cultural context, Word family, Register |
| Verb | Conjugation guide, Aspect / tense, Phrasal forms, Common patterns |
| Adjective | Stronger alternatives, Gradability, Common collocations, Opposite |
| Adverb | Placement rules, What it modifies, Common collocations |
| Phrase | Natural usage, Tone & register, Literal vs. intended |
| Idiom | Origin, When to use, Equivalent idioms |
| Sentence | Grammar breakdown, Natural alternatives, Response |
Pills are hidden if the card has no part of speech assigned. Once you send your first message, the pills disappear and are replaced by the conversation.
Working with replies
While the tutor is writing, the send button becomes a stop button. Tap it to stop the reply: the part already written stays in the conversation, marked Stopped.
Once a reply is finished, two buttons appear under it:
- Copy copies the reply's text.
- Regenerate asks the tutor to answer the same question again, replacing the reply. It is available on the latest reply only.
To copy one of your own messages, long-press it.
If a reply can't be completed, for example because the connection dropped, a short explanation appears under it. When trying again can help, a Retry button asks the same question again.
Conversations and limits
Each conversation is tied to a single card. The tutor knows the front word, the back word, and the language pair, and it doesn't see what you discussed on other cards.
Your conversation with a card is kept while you use the app. Close the tutor and reopen it on the same card, and the conversation is still there. It is cleared when you:
- tap New chat in the top-left corner of the panel,
- log out, or
- restart the app.
If you edit the card's front or back text, the tutor starts a new conversation the next time you open it on that card.
Two limits apply per chat:
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Questions per chat | 10 (20 messages) |
| Characters per message | 800 |
Once you've asked 10 questions, the input locks and shows "Conversation limit reached." Tap New chat to start a new conversation on the same card.
What you can ask about
The tutor is scoped to the vocabulary item on the current card. It can answer questions about:
- Grammar: conjugation, tense, aspect, case forms, sentence structure
- Usage: collocations, fixed phrases, common patterns, phrasal forms
- Register: formal vs. informal, slang, professional contexts
- Meaning: nuance, connotations, the gap between literal and intended meaning
- Cultural context: regional differences, cultural significance, native-speaker habits
- Comparison: how the word differs from similar words, common learner mistakes
- Origin: etymology, the word's history where it adds learning value
- Pronunciation: how to say it, common mispronunciations
If you ask something outside this scope, the tutor responds: "I can only help you with questions about this specific flashcard." It will not translate arbitrary text, answer general knowledge questions, or discuss other words not on the current card.
