A sample text — see what the practice looks like first
This is the sample cortex waiting in your study room when you sign up. Here it is opened out, so you can see how one text becomes paragraphs, sentences, and the phrasings underneath them.

Signing up puts this sample in your study room already prepared. You can practise with it without spending credits, and delete it once you do not need it.
What each level is for in practice
The layers above are the practice units. Lower down is shorter; higher up is about order.
- Cortex
- Holds writing that shares a goal. Your native and target languages are set here.
- Text
- Rewrite the whole thing from its meaning. The last step, and the hardest.
- Paragraph
- Rewrite a paragraph from one line about what it does. Order gets learned here.
- Sentence
- Write one sentence from its meaning. Only the ones that did not pass come back.
- Chunk
- When a sentence is still heavy, assemble it from chunks. Phrasing sticks here.
