What you’ll learn
Learning material volume. Audio time is estimated from the script and pauses.
How we count
Words and word forms come from the learning vocabulary, phrases from model lines in lesson scripts. Earlier levels are deduplicated. A topic is one rule explanation block; an exercise is one practice step. Audio time is a script estimate, not a recording measurement. Personal inserts are excluded.
