With Situo, you can: • Practise realistic conversations • Learn useful phrases in context • Improve your speaking and listening • Ask language questions at any time • Get definitions, translations and conjugation tables • Create and organise personalised vocabulary lists • Discover lessons related to what you are learning • Generate custom lessons from Situo Agent • Prepare for travel, work, dating and everyday life • Replay lessons and practise at your own pace • Build confidence before real conversations As Situo Agent learns more about your goals, interests and progress, it can create personalised content each week to help you keep improving.
