Comparisons

How Immersed compares to the tools you already know.

Immersed is a language immersion tracker and planner. It turns immersion into something you can see, plan and keep: a free plan built from your answers, a daily timeline for the shows, podcasts and books you learn from, and reports of your hours. Here is how it stacks up against every tracker, extension and app learners ask about, including where the other one is the better pick.

The rest follows from that. →For tutors, teachers and schoolsSame hours, different progress. Immersed shows you what the hours were made of. →Free guideFive tools do most of the work at the start. Here is how to set up each one. →GuideHours are one-dimensional. What you did in those hours is the thing a report should show. →GuideOne project per activity, the show as the description. That is the whole system. →
