The problem is real. Entire blocks of retail spaces in my Vancouver neighborhood stayed empty for 5 years. Now I'm leaving, it's sad to think about what could have been.

Not a single mention of zoning or construction in this article.

Tools like this are great because they give you access to in-context example sentences.

Textbooks often start with grammar and layer sentences on top. I prefer taking a real conversation and breaking it down. If I can see myself saying that sentence, then its guaranteed to be useful.

My project tries to achieve this with a chatbot-style lesson format:
