WordBoatGuideHow to start, and how the homepage, language pages, and shared workflow fit together.

Word Boat is organized around language projects. The homepage helps people reach published content quickly, while each language page becomes the working hub for lessons, study tools, audio, images, and project-specific workflows.

Homepage first

The homepage is the public front door. It should send people to language projects that already have something usable.

Language page second

Once someone picks a language, the language page becomes the main hub for study, lessons, progress, and contributor work.

Shared project workflow

Managers, editors, and recorders should keep their changes tied to the same project so learners are not dropped into unfinished or unrelated content.

For learners

  1. Start on the homepage and choose a language button. Those buttons only show projects that already have published lessons.
  2. Open the language page you want to study. That page is the main hub for lessons, study tools, progress, and project-specific settings.
  3. Use lesson buttons when you want a structured path, or jump into the available study modes for review with audio, images, and text.
  4. Expect language projects to grow over time. Some start small and expand as more lessons, recordings, and media are added.
  5. If your project gives you an account, sign in before you study so your progress stays tied to the right project.

For language managers

Sign in with the account assigned to your project and treat the language page as the operational hub. Publish lessons when they are actually ready, and keep words, recordings, images, and lesson structure scoped to the right project.

For recorders

Use the recording interface assigned to your project, record in a quiet environment, preview before submitting, and keep pacing and pronunciation consistent with that language’s instructions.

For editors

Submit updates through the site workflow when possible so audio, words, and media stay attached to the correct language and are easier to review later.

Practical rules for everyone

  • Start from the right language project. Word Boat is not one giant mixed pool of content.
  • Use the homepage as the main public entry point for study-ready languages.
  • If you are unsure where to begin, confirm which language or language project you are assigned to before you change anything.
  • After major updates, check the public language page yourself so the lessons, study links, and credits still look right.
