ENGLISH PRACTICE, BUILT AROUND ANKI
Bridge the gap between recognising English and finding your own words.
For adults who understand more English than they can comfortably produce. Start with your own response, work on the language that holds you back, then return to it through listening and spaced review.

A coworker wants to keep a plan exactly as it is. You see a reason to change it.
I see the case for that, but my concern is locking this in too quickly; we should try the smaller adjustment before we commit.

01 / THE LEARNING METHOD
Tarnum is designed around a practical learning loop: attempt, notice, repair and revisit. Open Production gives that work a purpose; focused exercises let you practise its parts.
Write a message or speak a response before opening an example. Choose the meaning and wording yourself.
Review feedback or a reference. Try your own correction first, using hints when needed, and select a difficulty to work on.
Recall a phrase with Cloze, build a sentence from meaning, or practise a reply with a clear purpose. Listen and say it aloud.
Return to selected material through Anki after a delay. Then try the language in a new situation with your own words.
Retrieve before revealing. Make the attempt visible before consulting a model.
Practise language in context. Link phrases and structures to something you want to communicate.
Separate recognition from use. Include new responses alongside familiar review material.
ONE EXAMPLE SESSION
A colleague asks you to take on extra work. You need to say no without sounding abrupt.
ILLUSTRATIVE LEARNING SCENARIOStart with the message you would actually send. Keep that first version.
Review the wording and tone. A useful phrase to practise might be I can’t take that on
.
Recall the expression in context, listen to an example, then write and say your own revised refusal.
Review selected material in Anki. Later, try declining an invitation from a friend, adjusting the reason and register.
This is the intended learning routine, guided by the learner or teacher. The prototype does not automatically link every exercise into this sequence. Learning outcomes have not yet been independently measured.
Explore the exercises in this routine ↗02 / PRACTISE THE PART YOU NEED
Choose a focused exercise for a difficulty you noticed in your own response. Cloze supports recall; translation builds sentences; Forge modes provide context and structure.
These browser previews let you try the exercises. Input stays on this page; only the Cloze phrase is checked here. Full practice and online feedback run in the Anki prototype.
Cloze removes selected words from a sentence. Retrieve the missing language, then compare it with the saved text and hear the complete sentence.
Luckily, there’s a business school that’s anything but usual.
Reverse Translation starts with a Russian meaning cue. Write your English version before opening the saved sentence and its audio.
A different translation can be valid. Reference matching alone cannot judge every alternative.
Сочетание инженерных навыков, мобильных данных и национальной технологической платформы породило множество стартапов.
The combination of engineering skills, mobile data and a national tech stack has created lots of startups.
Prag-Forge gives you a situation, a goal and a register. Practise a refusal, a clarification or a tactful disagreement before looking at an example.
A coworker asks you to take another call during a meeting. You need to turn it down politely.
Thanks for thinking of me, but I can't take that on; I need to finish the thing already in front of me.
Writing Frame Forge makes a reusable sentence pattern explicit. Keep the fixed structure and supply your own topic, reason or detail.

There is growing debate about your topic.
There is growing debate about the use of social media.
Open Production asks for a response without a prescribed sentence. In Anki, online AI-assisted feedback supports a correction and a fresh revision.
A friend asks: “Would you like to go for a walk on Saturday afternoon?” You cannot go on Saturday.
Check response requests AI-assisted feedback. You review the suggested corrections, write your own revision and can save a review card in Anki. This web preview makes no model calls.

03 / LISTEN TO THE CURRENT PROTOTYPE
Three real recordings from the Anki collection. Hear a reply, reuse a pattern, or try an answer before opening the transcript.
These are existing prototype recordings, not ElevenLabs-generated demos. Transcripts come from the corresponding cards.
04 / WHY VOICE MATTERS
In a refusal or a disagreement, the words carry only part of the message. Pace, emphasis and intonation give learners another part to listen for and practise.
We plan to use the ElevenLabs speech API to produce original learning audio with a matching text reference, integrated into Tarnum’s existing Anki exercises.
PROPOSED ELEVENLABS INTEGRATIONOriginal short passages for EarForge-style listening and transcription, with the text revealed after the learner’s attempt.
Contextual replies and short dialogues for Prag-Forge: refusals, clarification and disagreement, with delivery appropriate to the situation.
Audio examples for selected writing tasks, available after an independent response and useful for a spoken revision.
The samples above are from the current collection. ElevenLabs integration and grant support are planned, not yet secured.
Original script → API generation → transcript and listening checks → audio added to a practice task → reuse in Anki review.
Compare voices on representative tasks, replace weak recordings selectively and expand the library. Generated files would be reused for playback, with credits reserved for new material and necessary revisions.
05 / INSIDE THE WORKING PRODUCT
Actual prototype screens from development and personal study. Explore the interfaces behind the practice.
Retrieve the missing words before opening the full sentence, audio and supporting material.

06 / FROM PILOT TO PRODUCT
Today, Tarnum is a working prototype used by the founder and 20+ learners. The next product step is a clearer setup experience and a subscription offering for adult learners.
The proposed subscription would combine access to curated practice materials, Tarnum’s Anki templates and tools, and new original tasks with audio.
Scope, pricing and launch date are still being developed. Public paid access is not open.

Founder & developer · Tarnum
Meet the founder on LinkedIn ↗Recognising a good sentence is one thing. Producing one when you need it is another.
I built Tarnum to work on that gap in my own English practice and in my teaching. I designed the Anki templates and the workflows for recall, writing, listening and review.
I use the prototype myself, and 20+ learners now use Tarnum. Their experience helps me see what is useful, what feels awkward and what to improve next.
Early pilot. A product in development.
Tarnum is an unincorporated founder-led project for adults aged 19+. The current focus is refining the practice with the pilot students and preparing the subscription offering described above.
A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS
20+ learners are using Tarnum in the early pilot. Public sign-up is not open yet. You can email hello@tarnum.uz or contact the founder through LinkedIn to discuss the project.
Yes. The working prototype runs in Anki. The examples on this website are small browser adaptations, not a connection to your Anki collection. Tarnum is an independent project.
In Anki, Cloze and translation compare with saved references; alternative wording can still be valid. Writing Frame checks track fixed words and order, while Forge modes use specific text rules. Open Production requests online AI-assisted feedback. The website only checks the fixed Cloze phrase and reveals examples. These checks do not certify language level or assess pronunciation.
No. The playable recordings are from the existing collection. ElevenLabs is being considered for original listening exercises and contextual audio examples in a future release.
The proposed subscription combines curated practice materials, the Anki templates and tools, and new original tasks with audio. Pricing and scope are being developed; public paid access is not open.
