Support from OpenShift

Nowadays, it is getting more difficult to find the free host for the python/django project. We recently changed to PythonAnywhere, but they discontinued to support us since last week due to our project size is more than 500 MB. Luckily, we found out that OpenShift is a good fit for our project and can keep the hosting still free for our users. Great thanks for OpenShift. Because of them, we can continue to provide free language learning service to all our users!

We also added a backup site. Next time, please refer to it meanwhile the original service is down.
Thank you for your patience. :-)

New Beta Service - Vocabulary Testing

We provide two experimental services for vocabulary testing. We aim at helping learners to be familiar with some English standard tests, like TOEFL and TOEIC. These services will start from the vocabulary part. Your comments are of course welcome!




TOEIC Vocabulary Testing


Stability in Clozer

We used to host Clozer in our personal desktop, and inevitably suffered from the down time often. With the help of djangozoom, we greatly increase the stability in Clozer now. Currently with fair amount of usage, its hosting service will be still free. Also our service will also be free to use.  Hope you will enjoy it!

New interface - Demo Bar


We have slightly redesigned our website. All the demo systems have been moved to the bar on the left-hand side. In the future, we will have more systems listed here. Please feel free to give us comments or suggestions about our website. Thanks!
