Field notes

The language selector lists Russian, Ukrainian, German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Turkish as reading and learning options. The on-page shelf includes an excerpt from “The Twelve Chairs,” alongside the upload flow for personal books. Three research references are linked, though the homepage does not explain the vocabulary-tracking method behind the gradual increase.
