Learning with Pablo:

Pablo does not contain any other vocabulary than the one you teach him.
And thats what makes it such a powerful way to learn a new language. Inspired from the "old school notepad way" of practicing your vocabulary on a regular basis, Pablo could be perceived as a simple additional memory when words youre learning slip out from your mind. Pablo could also be seen as a friendly parrot.
But it is actually much more than this. Instead of getting fed words from a language learning book, or app, you decide what you really want to learn. And thats what makes the difference. The best way to learn is to want or to need to learn something.

Pablo is based on context-learning. Your context (your every day life, what you do, read, watch, care about) acts as a natural filter. By saving and practicing words you wanted to use, or felt like you will need to use, youre only using your mind to learn things truly useful to you.
Learning words you dont care about is a waste of time and energy. You will remember them for a week, a month, and then theyre gone. This might sound obvious in a way, and youre probably already doing it, but did you find the perfect solution to save those words? Have you suffered the mess of having tons of lists in different places?
Thats why Pablo is so simple. One searchable chronological list per language, no sub-list.
The most organized of you might miss having the possibility to create thematic lists, but its for your own good!
No more looking for the right list, you naturally learn in a chronological way. Scroll down and you will see that the oldest word from your list are already in your head now, no need to consult them again :-).
There you have it, a simple, fast and efficient way to learn a new language.
