A reminder at the hour you choose

Practice holds up better when it has a time attached to it. You can now turn on a once-a-day reminder to practice, delivered by email anywhere in the world or by text message to a US number. You pick the hour and the time zone. Dioma guesses the zone from your device, and if you move or travel, you change it there and the reminder follows you.

The reminder is off until you turn it on, and it stays quiet on any day you have already practiced. One reminder covers every language you are learning with Dioma. You can turn it on during onboarding orunder Practice Reminders in your account settings.

Dioma's free trial is now 21 days

Seven days was never enough time to find out whether a practice habit fits your life. Three weeks is. The trial is still full access to everything, and it still needs no credit card to start.

Lower prices if you don't want to commit to a year

Monthly is now $20, down from $29. Quarterly is $48, which works out to $16 a month, down from $60. Annual is unchanged at $156, or $13 a month. Every plan has the same full access.

The earlier prices were set to encourage longer commitments, because consistency is what moves a learner forward. What changed is the timing. Asking for that commitment before you know whether Dioma is any good was too much to ask, especially from a company as young as we are. Anyone already subscribed at the old monthly price has been moved to the new one.

What's next

Seeing your feedback and your suggested vocabulary after a session, instead of losing it when the session ends, is in progress now and was one of the most requested changes. Repeating an exercise with your corrections and new vocabulary folded back into the practice is taking longer, because it needs deeper changes to the practice flow, and should be live in a few weeks. A2 for Spanish and French follows in October.
