Why Plain English mode helps
Plain English mode tells the lesson assistant to use shorter sentences, easier words, and to define hard terms. It does not change the lesson content — only how the assistant talks to you.
Step-by-step
- 1Open any lesson on Tendril
- 2Look at the bottom-right corner of your screen
- 3Click the chip that says "Plain English"
- 4The chip will glow when it is on
- 5Reload the lesson — the assistant now uses simple language
Turn it off again
Click the same chip again. The glow turns off. Your assistant returns to normal English.

- accessibility — features that help more people use a tool
