Twee
FreemiumAI lesson planning tool built specifically for English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers
What is Twee?
Twee is an AI lesson planning tool built specifically for English as a Second Language (ESL) and English language teachers. Unlike general AI teacher tools that require teachers to specify CEFR level and ESL context in every prompt, Twee has ESL workflows baked in from the start, every generator lets you pick a specific CEFR level (A1 beginner through C2 proficient), target vocabulary, and activity type. Tools include reading passage generation at specific levels, vocabulary quizzes, fill-in-the-blank exercises, dialogue writing, listening comprehension activities based on YouTube videos, grammar exercises, and writing prompts. The free Twee Trial gives you 5 one-time trial runs of any tool except the Pro tools plus 500 audio credits, enough to sample the platform but not to run a term of lessons. Twee Basic costs $6.50/month billed annually and covers 100 runs per month across every tool except the Pro ones, with 2,500 audio credits per month. Twee Pro costs $10.50/month billed annually and unlocks the Pro tools, unlimited Basic tool runs under a fair use policy, 100 media tool runs per month, 5,000 audio credits, the CEFR level checker, and exports to PDF, Google Forms, and Google Docs. Twee Schools is quote-based for multi-teacher programs. Twee advertises these as annual rates with a 30% annual discount, so check twee.com/price for the current month-to-month figures. For ESL teachers specifically, Twee is generally more useful than broader AI teacher tools like MagicSchool because the ESL context is built into every feature. For teachers teaching English to native speakers or other subjects entirely, general tools are a better fit.

FAQ
Is Twee free for teachers?
Twee's free tier is called Twee Trial and it gives you 5 one-time trial runs of any tool except the Pro tools, plus 500 audio credits, so it is a sample rather than a recurring monthly allowance. Teachers who use Twee regularly need Twee Basic at $6.50/month billed annually (100 runs per month) or Twee Pro at $10.50/month billed annually (unlimited Basic tool runs under fair use, plus 100 media tool runs per month).
What is CEFR level generation?
CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is the international standard for describing language proficiency levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient). Twee lets you specify the CEFR level for every generator, so when you generate a reading passage, you pick A2 or B1 and the AI produces text at that specific difficulty level. This is much more accurate than asking a general chatbot to 'make it easier' and is Twee's biggest differentiator for ESL teachers.
Twee vs MagicSchool for ESL teachers?
MagicSchool has a broader tool library and a more generous free plan, but its ESL features are general. Twee is purpose-built for ESL with CEFR level controls baked into every feature. For teachers whose entire workflow is ESL, Twee saves time on every generation. For teachers with mixed workflows (ESL plus other subjects), MagicSchool's breadth wins.
Can Twee generate listening activities?
Yes, Twee can generate listening comprehension activities from YouTube videos. Paste a YouTube URL and Twee creates questions, vocabulary lists, and fill-in-the-blank exercises based on the video content. This is one of Twee's standout features and is especially useful for ESL teachers who rely on authentic English listening materials.
Does Twee work for teaching kids or adults?
Both. Twee supports teaching English to children (young learners), teenagers, and adult learners by adjusting the CEFR level and content topics. For young learners, lower CEFR levels (A1-A2) and kid-friendly topics work best. For adult business English, higher levels (B2-C1) and professional topics are available.
Can Twee write grammar exercises?
Yes, Twee includes dedicated grammar generators that target specific grammar rules (present perfect, conditionals, passive voice, etc.) and produce exercises at the CEFR level you specify. This is especially useful for ESL teachers preparing grammar-focused lessons where targeted practice is essential.
Is Twee available in languages other than English?
Twee is focused exclusively on teaching English as a second or foreign language. It is not a general language learning tool. Teachers of other languages (Spanish, French, German as second languages) need different tools, Twee does not support those use cases.
