Learn Spanish, French, German, Turkish or English by speaking, listening and playing. Call an AI tutor and talk out loud, follow illustrated stories at your level, play 80+ language learning games and work through a full A1–C2 grammar course. LIVE VOICE CALLS WITH AN AI TUTOR Practice speaking with AI in a real back-and-forth conversation. Call about anything, role-play real life at a café, an airport, the doctor's, a job interview or a hotel check-in, use your saved words out loud, or practice a grammar lesson as you talk. Pick who you call: Poly the friendly guide, patient Nora, Max the tough coach, sarcastic Leo or chatty Mia. Captions follow the conversation, and every call ends with a recap: notes on your speaking and the words to review. PICTURE STORIES YOU CAN HEAR AND TAP Watch short illustrated stories read aloud at your level, with captions that light up word by word. Tap any word to translate and save it, open the script, change level, or share a story as a video. Want your own? Describe an idea in the story studio: Poly writes it in the language you are learning, illustrates every scene and narrates it. Edit each scene, add music, and publish it for other learners. Stories are made with AI. 80+ GAMES, NOT DRILLS Half of them are arcade games. Catch words on the beat in Beat Parade, rebuild a sentence on the Poly Express, swing from vine to vine or dig for words in Word Mine. The classics are here too: mini crosswords, word scramble, treasure hunt, speed translation and chain reaction. Pick Easy, Normal or Hard at any level from A1 to C2. MORE SPEAKING AND LISTENING Read a sentence aloud and speech recognition marks every word. Talk about a topic and the AI scores you from 0 to 100 with corrections. Listening games train your ear. CHAT WITH YOUR AI LANGUAGE TUTOR Prefer typing? Chat with Poly, or switch to the Business Tutor or Travel Tutor. Tap any word for a definition, examples, synonyms or a grammar explanation, and tap any message for feedback or better phrasing. A REAL GRAMMAR COURSE, A1 TO C2 Clear rules and examples, explained in your own language, with mastery rings to track progress. Spanish has 212 lessons, French 196, Turkish 192, German 184 and English 319. Each lesson ends with a five-game practice session, and the whole course can be read offline. A VOCABULARY BUILDER THAT REMEMBERS Save any word with its audio, translation and examples, then watch it move from New to Mastered. Spaced repetition brings words back after 1, 3, 7, 16 and 35 days. Play games on just those words, or export them to CSV. A DICTIONARY BY LEVEL Browse words, phrases, idioms and sentences from A1 to C2. Pattern search finds words by shape. Picture vocabulary adds 1,217 words in 38 themes, drawn as emoji, and works offline. HEAR IT THE WAY IT IS SAID Male or female voices, speed from 0.5× to 1.5×, and accents including Spain or US Spanish, France or Canada French, and US, UK, Australian or Indian English. A HABIT YOU WILL KEEP Reminders spread through the day, never at night. Earn points, keep your streak and climb the leaderboards. Message other learners, follow friends and share to the community feed. START AT YOUR LEVEL Pick your language and the one you want to learn, and take the optional placement test to find your level. FREE AND PREMIUM Polyingo is free to download, with monthly allowances for AI chat, translations, voice and saved words, plus daily game replays. Stories are free to watch. Voice calls use minutes: everyone gets a few to try with Poly and Nora, and minute packs are sold separately. The story studio uses points, sold in packs. Premium is a monthly subscription that raises those limits and adds monthly call minutes with every character, monthly story points, AI-quality translations, natural voices, games from your saved words, every dictionary category and full grammar practice. Ready to speak Spanish, French or German with confidence? Download Polyingo and make your first call today.

Learner is an English vocabulary trainer for Russian speakers. Every English word is learned paired with its Russian meaning, and it's built on a spaced-repetition algorithm: the app decides which word to show you and when, so it sticks in your long-term memory with minimal effort. No cramming word lists. Every day is a short session of flashcards, picked for your level and your progress. HOW IT WORKS • English ↔ Russian, both ways. You practice recognizing English words by their Russian translation and recalling the English word from Russian — the two directions that make a word truly yours. • Smart spaced repetition. A custom memory model tracks how firmly you know each word and brings it back right when you're about to forget it. • Three exercise types: recognition (EN→RU), recall (RU→EN), and typing the word into a real sentence. From easy to hard — formats unlock as you grow. • CEFR levels from A1 to C2. Pick your starting level, unlock new words gradually, and celebrate every level-up. • Your own pace. Set a daily goal: 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 new words. The plan is counted in cards and eases off gently if you miss a few days. • Pronunciation audio, so you remember more than just the spelling. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Day streak and a GitHub-style activity heatmap. • Words mastered, answer accuracy, and progress for every level. • A full vocabulary browser: filter by level and status, archive words you already know. WHY LEARNER • Passwordless sign-in — just a code from your email. • No clutter: a clean interface, short sessions, visible results. • Syncs across your devices — pick up right where you left off. • Full Russian and English interface. Start free and turn learning English into a daily habit that actually works.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Learner at none against Polyingo's 7. Polyingo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
