Great app
Love that I can practice Spanish conversation without the fear of making mistakes to a real person! Already becoming more confident
Really good but app is not working currently
The app keeps telling me to check my internet connection and won’t let me actually do anything on the app. I pay monthly so think it’s just a glitch, I couldn’t see a way to report the glitch on the app other than leave a review.
Amazing App
This app really blows any other language learning apps I’ve tried out of the water. Getting daily messages from your AI tutor is such a strong motivator and makes it so easy to get some learning in on transit to/from work.
Been practising Spanish for ~2 months now on it and I’m finally finding that I am able to think fluidly in the language about day-to-day topics, rather than just being able to recall numbers and the names of farm animals like I’ve found with other apps.
Highly recommend for anyone who is serious about conversational bilingualism!

Pretty good
I don’t have the talent to know whether the app is 100% correct in its teaching, but the AI here is well designed. The “teaching” happens as chat bots continuously ask you questions. It almost feels like a therapy session at times, which isn’t a bad thing but sometimes feels less casual and conversational as a result.
There are two learning modes. There is a straight-up tutorial bot that coaches based on your questions or generates prompts to practice with. The other bots engage in discussion topics randomly generated based on loose profiles like “casual” or “flirty.” I haven’t tried flirty, as you need gems to unlock that over time, but the casual bot feels like a polite person you could be acquaintances with IRL.
Overall, I think it’s a good supplement to users of Duolingo and other independent learning methods. Sylvi isn’t really a gamified app (yet) despite the presence of leaderboards, and I’m hoping it doesn’t adopt too much of that mentality. Duolingo has been key to my learning a lot of words and conjugations, but it lacks the contextualized learning people acquire from conversations; that’s where Sylvi excels. As an Intermediate learner, it’s nice to converse at my own pace in order to generate complicated sentences.
As far as improvements, a Dark Mode would be nice.

Not free
It’s NOT free
Deleting App
App was the only free source of learning spanish now its charging a subscription , It is not worth it. It literally free for the past 4 or more months and I assume it was since it was created. if you are paying the subscription the app and all its features were completely free before. It was so helpful and I was learning and now I have to pay for the subscription. Completely disappointed. Never change the reason you started something. Deleting app. hopefully you reverse this subscription. Such a great app ruined by a subscription feature. App Should return & remain free.

The best way to learn a language!!
I have never written a review for an app before but after discovering Sylvi I feel like I need to write a review! This app is a game changer for those who are actually trying to learn a language and become fluent! This app implements most of the things you need to learn a language like verbs, pronunciation, spelling, grammar, and even basic lessons that are a great foundation! Sylvi implements all these aspect and puts them into real conversation through texting! My Spanish improved so so much just after a couple of weeks! it’s insane how fast you can pick up a language when the methods of learning are immersive and realistic instead of just the memorisation of random words! This app is such an amazing first step to speaking a language fluently with locals and understanding the fundamentals of the language! Highly recommend, best thing I ever did for my Spanish!

Sold!
When looking for a recommended language learning app by TikTok polyglot influencers that I follow, Sylvi was 1 of the top 5 that was recommended. I love how this learning path is uniquely different from other language learning apps that I’ve used in the past. For those not ready to speak to a native yet, the AI feature has become my favorite. The developers are quick to action the feedback given as well. I’m loving my experience so far.

If you are trying to learn on your own, you NEED this app!
After a year of Babbel, and previous stints using Duolingo, I found my ability to learn and comprehend Spanish improved immeasurably once I discovered Sylvi.
The AI chat bots help me with conversation, correct me when I say something incorrect, and is always there to give expansive explanations whenever I have a question.
The price you pay is minimal compared to how much you’ll get out of it …

No longer free?
I was really enjoying this app but just updated it and now I would have to pay to use it! Quite disappointing.
