## What is Practical?

Practical teaches you a language the way you actually learn one: by living it.

Instead of vocabulary lists and disconnected rules, you step into real situations —greeting a neighbor, ordering at a café, a job interview, a first date— and you work through them by talking. Your conversation partner replies naturally, and when you're done you get a clear breakdown of your language mistakes, plus tips to improve.

WHY IT WORKS 
• You learn by speaking, not memorizing. Every situation is a real conversation, with its own context and goal. 
• Instant corrections focused on your grammar and vocabulary mistakes. 
• From zero to expert: a path from level A0 (complete beginner, guided in your own language) all the way to C2. 
• In your language: the app adapts to your phone's language so it teaches you naturally.

LANGUAGES
English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Basque.

PRACTICE BY PLAYING 
• Word of the day (Wordle-style) in the language you're learning. 
• Translate real street signs. 
• Spot the expressions and idioms only locals use. 
• The proofreader: is this sentence written correctly or not?

PREMIUM
Unlock free chat (talk about anything, unscripted, with whoever you like), 100+ exclusive situations, level C2, and natural voices. Monthly or yearly subscription; cancel anytime.
