Grammar films at the cinema
Short animated stories with their own cast, then practice on the same point: matching, gap-fills, speaking prompts and a longer written task. Holiday versions for the dates that fall in a school year.
Learnington
Free beta from Tuesday 1 DecemberEnglish lessons in a town you can walk around
Learnington is a 3D clay town for English learners and their teachers. Watch a grammar film at the cinema, pick up the matching tool at the mechanic's shop, play the game at the arcade, then walk into the café and hear the same grammar being used by the people who live there.
The look-around is free and needs no card. Built for the classroom projector and for learners on their own, from A1 to C2.
150+grammar films
200+practice tools
1,000+class games
120+places with their own words
A1–C2levels, CEFR and nothing else
What's inside the town
Every building does one job. You walk in, you use what is in there, and the page tells you where the same grammar point turns up next.
Tools at the mechanic's shop
One tricky point, one clear picture. Turn the dials, move the pieces, see what changes, then hide the answers and check yourself. Made to be shown on a projector with the sound off.
Games at the arcade
Board races, quiz boards, bingo and speaking games for two to four teams, ready for the front of a classroom, plus solo games for practice at home. The right answer is never in the same place twice.
The words of a place
Ninety-eight places — a chemist's (drugstore), a station, a building site, a law firm — each with its vocabulary at four levels, pictures, flashcards and the grammar that lives there.
Books at the library
Choose-your-path stories with eight different endings, sorted by level, so a reader at A2 and a reader at C1 can be in the same story and neither is bored or lost.
Work English and level practice
A business district for the office — meetings, email, interviews, phone calls — a writing studio, and level practice from B1 to C2 that is independent of any examination board.
Two towns, two Englishes
The town exists twice. Flip the switch and the same streets change their signs, their money, their spelling and the side of the road they drive on. Learners stop asking which one is right and start noticing which one they are hearing.
Wordville
American English. Dollars, blocks, sidewalks, driving on the right.
Wordbury
British English. Pounds, pavements, queues, driving on the left.
The same thing, said in each town
| In Wordville | In Wordbury |
|---|---|
| cookie | biscuit |
| line | queue |
| elevator | lift |
| fall | autumn |
| color | colour |
| practice (noun and verb) | practise (verb), practice (noun) |
Pick the one your coursebook uses and stay there, or switch between them on purpose and let the class spot the differences. Nothing else about the lesson changes.
A lesson is a walk, not a list of links
Each grammar point has a path through the town, and every page shows the stops that exist for it. This is what immersion means when you cannot get on a plane: you learn the language of a place by being in it.
- Watch the film at the cinema and meet the point in a story.
- Use the tool at the mechanic's shop until the pattern is visible.
- Walk into a place that needs it and pick up its words.
- Play the game at the arcade, alone or in teams.
- Read the book at the library and meet it in print.
- Say it to a resident, then write it at the post office.
For teachers
Built by a working teacher for the lesson that starts in ten minutes.
What it does for your planning
- Pick the grammar point, open the film, then the tool, then the game. Two minutes of planning for an hour of lesson.
- Projector mode on every tool: bigger type, answers hidden until you reveal them, sound off so the words are yours.
- Works on the class computer, a projector, a borrowed laptop, a tablet or a phone. A lite mode for the old machine in the corner.
- From January: classes, homework with due dates, and a dashboard that tells you which points to go back to.
- Every page is levelled A1 to C2, with no examination board's words put in your mouth.
Join the beta and use it in a real lesson this month. That is the only test that counts.
One page for the staff room: the teacher quick-start

The things people ask before paying
- Trials take a card
- From 1 January 2027, a Teacher or School sign-up puts a payment card on file and starts a 30-day free trial. Nothing is charged for the first month; the first charge falls on day 30. We email you three days before it, with the amount and a link that cancels in one click.
- Cancelling a trial
- One click on your account page, any time before the trial ends, and nothing is taken. One trial per person or school.
- Learners do not get a trial
- The free look-around is the trial, for as long as you want it. You pay when you want everything.
- Refunds
- Every plan, monthly or yearly: a full refund within 14 days of paying, no questions. After that, cancel any time and your access runs to the end of the period you have paid for.
- VAT and invoices
- Every price on this page includes VAT. Payments and invoices are handled by our payment provider, which is the seller of record, so a school gets a proper invoice with its own tax details.
- About the launch prices
- They are a genuine opening discount on every plan, not a permanent price and not a fake one. They close on 31 January 2027. While a subscription at the launch price runs without a gap, the price stays as it was; let it lapse and the next one costs the standard price. On School, the launch price covers the first year.
- Do students in a class pay?
- No. A pupil in a class signs in with a class code, their nickname and a four-number PIN that their teacher gives them. There is no card and no email address on a class account. They see what their teacher sets, plus the free look-around.
Questions
Who is it for?
English teachers — in schools, in academies, in their own front room — and learners from young children up to C2. It is made for a projector and it works on a laptop, a tablet or a phone.
What does the beta cost, and how long does it last?
Nothing, and no card. Full access to everything, free, for the whole beta. The beta opens on Tuesday 1 December 2026.
Can my pupils use it?
During the beta, yes: through your screen in class, or at home with a parent. The sign-up page is for adults. Accounts for children, opened with a teacher's class code, arrive in January.
What happens when the beta ends?
Paid plans open on Friday 1 January 2027. Beta accounts are free until that day. From then, your beta account keeps everything you saved, but it stays locked until you choose a paid plan. You can also open a new account for the free look-around. Beta testers get the launch price whenever they subscribe.
Which levels does it cover?
A1, A2, B1, B1+, B2, C1 and C2, marked on every page, with a separate set for young learners who are not reading much yet. Levels are CEFR levels and nothing else.
Is it tied to an examination board or a coursebook?
No. Learnington is independent, and it is built to sit alongside whatever coursebook you already use: you look up the grammar point, not a unit number.
What do you do with my details?
We use them to give you access and to ask what you thought. There are no adverts and no tracking, and we do not sell anything to anybody. See the privacy notice.
Does it need a fast computer?
No. The town has a lite mode for older machines, and everything in it can also be opened as a plain page, which is what we do on a slow classroom connection.
Come and have a look
Walk around the town for five minutes without giving us anything. If you want the whole of it, the beta is free until 1 January 2027 and takes a minute to join.
