BESTÅ
An AI tutor for Norskprøven A1–A2 — every lesson generated for you, all five skills
BESTÅ
Bestå — Norwegian for “to pass” — is a Norwegian trainer built around one goal: getting you through the Norskprøven A1–A2 exam. Set your exam date and it builds a countdown plan; intensity, session length, and topics adapt as the day approaches.
There is no fixed question bank. An AI tutor generates every exercise fresh from your profile — your level, your weak points, your recent mistakes — and what you got wrong last week keeps coming back until you own it.
Highlights
- All five skills — listening (Norwegian text-to-speech), reading, grammar, writing (free-text answers graded with feedback), and speaking (on-device speech recognition)
- Exam-first pacing: a countdown engine that shifts from foundation phase to focus phase to exam week, driving session length, topics, and reminders
- A real curriculum — twelve original chapters covering the full A1→A2 path, from pronouns to preteritum
- Timed mock exams with per-skill scoring and full answer review
- Anti-fatigue by design: short varied drills, one focused step at a time, automatic exercise-type switch when you’re struggling
- Private by default — no account, no ads, no tracking; progress lives on-device, and lessons come from an AI provider you choose (DeepSeek, Qwen, or Gemini) with your own key
Technologies
- App: Lynx (ReactLynx + rspeedy) in a native Kotlin shell — custom native modules for TTS, speech recognition, exact-alarm reminders, haptics, and storage
- AI: provider-agnostic LLM client with schema-constrained JSON drill generation and validation/retry
- Design: a hand-built “Nordisk Editorial” design system and a vector brand mark drawn on a 108-grid
