Communities
Language pairs, book clubs, study groups. Public, request-to-join or invite-only, with posts, polls, events and a word of the day.
Language Cafe puts you in a live voice room with other learners. Around it sits a short daily plan, a levelled reading library, and AI feedback on what you write and say.

Practice
Pick a language and a goal. The Practice tab builds the day’s path, then changes what comes next based on what you get right and wrong.
Every day ends with a round where you have to produce something yourself.

Voice Cafes
A cafe is a live voice room with hosts, moderators, speakers and listeners. Raise your hand when you want the stage. Until then, listen.
Read one article together in sync, run a live word quiz, watch a video with the room, or open one of the games.

Reading
Stories and articles from A1 to C2. Level and reading time are on the card before you open it, here on the web and in the app.
A day spent reading still counts towards your streak.

The wiki
We opened the whole content library on purpose, so the people who actually speak a language can teach it. Write a conversation card, add a word, fix a sentence no native speaker would ever say. A reviewer in that language checks it, then learners see it.

You do not need a teaching qualification. You need to speak the language, and to care whether a sentence sounds right.
Community

Language pairs, book clubs, study groups. Public, request-to-join or invite-only, with posts, polls, events and a word of the day.
The People tab finds learners who speak what you are learning and want what you speak. You decide who can find you and who can message you.
Open a post to corrections and other learners suggest fixes. You choose which ones to accept.
AI, honestly
Nothing you write or say goes to an AI tool until you turn a switch on. Even then, the feature waits for you to use it.
Text, voice and personalization are separate choices in Settings → Privacy & AI data. None of them is consent for model training.
AI gives practice estimates, not official scores. The prepared learning material still works with every switch off.
Checking the current edition.
After that it is just talking. Get the app, pick your languages, and listen in until you feel like speaking.
From the library
Long-form writing on the parts of language learning nobody talks about honestly: speaking, plateaus, and the difference between practice and theatre.
In 1843 a young mathematician published an algorithm for a machine that had not yet been built. Almost everything about that sentence is unusual.
