Frequently asked questions

What other Features are planned for Elephant?
Features that I want to support in the near future are: Fill-in-the-blank grammar practice, number practice, worksheets and classes.
What courses does Elephant officially support?
Right now: None. I added support for user-created courses and a simple internal service. I don't want to anger people putting a lot of work in their books and courses by making them feel like I ripped them off.
Is there a mobile app?
No, but Elephant is a progressive web app (PWA), so it works on any device with a browser. Install it on your home screen for an app-like experience on iOS and Android.
Why is it named Elephant?
Short answer: I am uncreative. Long answer: I found the idea of an elephant mascot cute and couldn't come up with a name to support that idea. Also see the blog on the history of elephant.
Will Elephant make learning Korean easy?
No. Learning a language will always be work, until Matrix-style brain uploads are invented.
Can I self-host Elephant?
No, not right now at least. Elephant also lives off its users inputs, so self-hosted instances would not provide the same value. If you want to pay me an insane amount of money though, I'll gladly install a version of Elephant on your device.

Built by Me

Elephant is (kind of) a solo project. I built it because I wanted a tool that gave me feedback on my sentences and helped me practice — not just another flashcard app.

It's meant to complement your studies, not replace your teacher, your course, or your Anki deck. Use it alongside the tools you already love (or despise as long as they help you).

Curious how it started? Read the history of Elephant.

If you find it helpful, I'm glad.
