Built by a Malay teacher and a fellow learner
Adlan Shafi
Co-founder & Malay teacher
Hailing from Malaysia with a deep passion for learning and teaching languages. With more than five years of experience teaching Malay and a background in psychology, Adlan strives to improve the language-learning journey and its effectiveness. Along his own journey of self-learning languages, he tried different methods and apps and analysed their pros and cons, which led to the innovation of LexaFluent.
Aleksandr Novikov
Co-founder & Engineer
A programmer with a deep passion for languages, five of them so far, and years of travel that shaped how he sees the world. After spending a year living in Malaysia, Aleksandr tried the Malay-learning tools that already existed but found none that taught the language the way he wanted to learn it. So he set out to build his own, which became LexaFluent.
Before you start
How does LexaFluent choose what I practise?
It considers what you are learning, what needs repair and what is ready for review. It fits that work into your chosen daily time budget before introducing more.
How does it teach word-building patterns?
Exercises connect roots with related forms instead of treating every word as an isolated card. LexaFluent tracks memory for each word separately from evidence about affix patterns, so remembering one form is not treated as knowing the whole pattern.
How do I learn words with several meanings?
Each example is tied to a specific meaning, so one use of a word is not treated as interchangeable with every other use. LexaFluent keeps those meanings separate and introduces additional ones gradually.
Will this help me speak Malay?
LexaFluent does not provide conversation practice or speaking assessment. Its vocabulary, examples and word-building exercises can prepare you to speak, but speaking still needs practice with people.
What if I am a beginner or already know some Malay?
You can start without prior Malay. If you already know some, use the dictionary to inspect familiar words and their families while your practice responds to your answers.
How much time should I set aside?
You choose a daily time budget. LexaFluent uses it for learning, repair and review, then decides whether there is room for new material. It does not give you a fixed card count to clear.
Can I learn on my phone and laptop?
Yes. LexaFluent runs in the browser on both, with nothing to install. Sign in to keep your progress with your account.
