Most apps teach you about a language. Yap makes you speak it. Open the app, get today's topic, and start talking. A teacher is right behind you, and the only way to stay ahead is to keep speaking. Go quiet and she gains on you. Keep the words coming and you pull away. HOW A RUN WORKS • Get today's topic, or pick your own • Warm up with the key words before you start • Talk nonstop until the end, no reading, no multiple choice, no typing • Say the target words out loud for a speed boost • Get your review the second the run ends YOUR REVIEW, EVERY TIME A score out of 100. How long you kept talking. Your words per minute. The target words you landed, and the vocabulary you picked up along the way. Plus the habits slowing you down, like the word you repeat without ever noticing. A REASON TO COME BACK A new topic every day. A path of challenges that gets harder as you get better. A streak that rewards showing up. Five minutes a day is enough. WHY TALKING BEATS STUDYING Fluency isn't knowledge, it's a reflex. You build it by speaking, badly at first, then less badly, then without thinking about it. The thing that stops most people isn't grammar, it's having nobody to practise with and being afraid of sounding stupid in front of them. Yap removes both. WHO IT'S FOR • You can read and understand, but you freeze the moment you have to speak • You want to hold your own in meetings, interviews or while travelling • You've done the lessons, the flashcards and the grammar, and you still can't keep a conversation going Choose what you want to practise: English or French. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE Three runs with the full review each time. YAP UNLIMITED • Unlimited runs • The full topic catalogue • The complete challenge path Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings at any time.
