The new Drops Units and home experience launched July 6, 2023 for all learners. If you have questions about this change, read on for answers!
One of the best things about Drops is the amount of content available. But if you have used our app before, maybe you found that with so many topics at your disposal, it can be difficult to make a choice. Introducing our new Home Screen, a new personalised experience to make your language learning journey more comfortable.
We designed the new Home Screen's features to make it easier for you to access meaningful actions and topics in Drops. Here are some of the features you can look forward to:
The Home Screen will allow you to pick up exactly where you left off. Your last topic in progress and even your last active challenge will be featured right at the top of the screen where they are easy to find and access, allowing you to stay on track and motivated.
The Home Screen offers new and featured topics that you can explore, making it easier to find your next language learning challenge. As well as featured topics, you will also be able to see suggestions for your current skill level, and recommendations that align with your interests. So when you complete that topic, you can find a new one that suits your needs right there on the home page.
The Home Screen will also make it easier to locate all of Drops’ handy review tools, such as the Review Dojo, your Word Collection, even the latest addition, Quiz Mode. These features (and many more to come) are all designed to help you review your progress and consolidate what you've learned so you can apply it in real-life situations - all now conveniently available on the same screen.
The Home Screen will also bring together quick links to help you discover more of the Drops universe. Explore new languages and challenges, learn about your milestone progress, check your streak status, or connect with other Drops learners, all from the same space.

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
"I have been desperate to find an app that really helps me learn Japanese and this is the best by far"

"Fantastic app great opportunity to learn languages on your spare time. Drops makes it easy to learn and retain words to formulate sentences."
"Best of the best. Awesome app in every sense"
