Two Hedgie screens: the list of levels from A1 to C1 and the profile with progress for each level

Hedgie

A mobile app that drills English grammar as a light game. People take short tests, get an explanation for every mistake, track their progress and improve their English without drowning in theory.

  • Every mistake explained 100%
  • User retention 70%
  • Grammar level +1 a month

About the project

Hedgie grew out of an idea: make learning English grammar simpler and more interesting. Grammar is usually the part that feels hardest and dullest — the rules are overloaded and the drills get boring fast. So we built an app around short interactive tasks, tests and clear feedback instead of long theory. And the friendly character Hedgie keeps people motivated as they move up the levels.

What the client asked for

  • Progress and motivation
  • Interactive learning
  • Two platforms: iOS and Android
  • Mistakes explained instantly

Beetrail built Hedgie, a mobile app for learning English grammar. Grammar comes as short tests, game-like tasks and clear explanations of every mistake. People move up through levels, see their progress and come back to the topics they struggle with. The friendly character Hedgie keeps them motivated. The app runs on iOS and Android.

The problem

Learning English grammar tends to feel like a hard, monotonous slog. People lose motivation fast when all they get is rules and the same kind of drills with no clear feedback. What was needed was a focused, easy-to-use product that drills grammar specifically — quickly, regularly and without the feel of a school textbook.

The fix

We built a mobile app where grammar comes as short tests, game-like tasks and clear explanations. People can study at their own pace, work through levels, watch their progress and return to the topics they struggle with. We focused on three things: a simple interface, instant feedback and motivation.

What the app does

Hedgie turns learning grammar into a game: short tests, mistakes explained, levels and visible progress — with a friendly character on every screen.

Key features

  • Progress tracking

    People see their results and how their learning is going, and see what they need to review.

  • Mistakes explained

    After a wrong answer the app shows the explanation, so the rule sticks and the mistake is not repeated.

  • Interactive tests

    Short grammar tasks with instant feedback, so you can practice regularly without sitting through long lessons.

  • Difficulty levels

    Tasks are arranged by level, so learning goes step by step, from simple topics to more complex grammar structures.

Levels and topics

Learning in Hedgie is built around levels — from the basic topics to more complex grammar structures. That way people move forward gradually, never drown in theory, and hold on to the material step by step.

How learning is structured

Inside every level people see the separate grammar topics and can work through them in order at their own pace. It makes learning clearer, helps them go back to their weak spots and keeps their progress under control.

Profile and progress tracking

The profile shows their current English level and their progress for every sub-level, from A1 to C1. From here people can edit their account details, change their password, reset their progress on a chosen level and go through the material again.

Settings and support

In the settings people control the color theme, email and in-app notifications, and the interface language. From here they can contact support, report a bug or follow the app on social media.

  1. Ran discovery — audience and competitor research — and pinned down the core user flow: a person takes a test, sees the mistake and carries on learning.

  2. Built a lightweight, friendly interface around the Hedgie character, game elements and quick jumps between tasks.

  3. Built the app for iOS and Android in parallel, with tests, levels, progress and subscriptions.

  4. Tested the critical paths, prepared release builds and published to the App Store and Google Play.

How we did it

IlyaFounder of Hedgie: Learn English Grammar

The team helped turn the Hedgie idea into a clear and engaging product that makes learning grammar easier and more enjoyable. We especially liked how quickly the MVP came together, while still keeping the user experience simple and creating a strong foundation for the app’s future growth.

Results

We shipped an educational app for learning English grammar that combines the usefulness of a practice app with the lightness of a mobile game. Hedgie helps people practise regularly, understand their mistakes and track their progress without an overloaded interface. The product came out with room to scale: new topics, levels, characters, tasks, languages and personal learning mechanics can all be added.
