Line 2 from Gangnam to Hongdae is 22 minutes. Spend them scrolling Maya and you step off the train better at English than when you got on.

The science
The research isn’t boring. So the app isn’t either.
Every scroll is engineered around a century of memory research. It just doesn't feel like it.
Spaced repetition
Ebbinghaus mapped the forgetting curve in 1885: memory decays on a schedule. Maya re-serves each word right before you would forget it, flattening the curve with every review.
Ebbinghaus, 1885 · Cepeda et al., 2006
Comprehensible input
You acquire language from content you mostly understand — one notch above your level. The feed keeps you at that "i+1" sweet spot automatically, clip by clip.
Krashen, 1982
Active recall
Watching is not learning; retrieving is. Every clip ends with a speak-it-back prompt, because testing yourself beats re-reading by roughly a factor of two.
Roediger & Karpicke, 2006
Now streaming: fluency.

“Twelve years of school English and I still sounded like a textbook. Maya feeds me how people actually talk — last month a client asked if I'd lived abroad.”

“Maya replaced TikTok for me. I scroll it the exact same way — lying in bed, way too late — except now I'm somehow comfortable speaking English.”
