Nativeway has one specific purpose - to get language learners speaking from day one. Speaking a new language as a beginner can be discouraging. As adults, we have limited opportunities to speak freely. Even when speaking with patient, friendly people, you feel frustrated and discouraged. Beginning language learners typically focus on learning basic words and grammar. But no one believes that's the most interesting or effective way of learning a language. We need to create an atmosphere that is particularly well-suited to beginner adult language learners. We need to rediscover the mindset of our childhood - when we weren’t paralysed by the fear of making mistakes. We need to speak with basic phrases. Nativeway doesn’t provide pre-designed courses. All users are free to choose their own set of phrases. Users can see what phrases other users have in their collections. All corrections are made with AI. No need to feel embarrassed by making mistakes in front of actual people. You can use Nativeway for language exchanges too. Share recordings with your friends and compare your pronunciation. Nativeway currently supports British English, American English, Spanish, German, French, Korean, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Swedish, Finnish, Arabic, Greek and Indonesian language learning. If you’d like to see other languages added, please request them in the app.
