Speak like a native. Native Expressions helps you communicate more naturally in the language you're learning. Type a sentence or expression — in your own language or in the language you're learning — and Native Expressions shows you natural, native-like ways to say it, corrects it when it can be improved, or explains exactly what a phrase means and how to use it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Say it like a native — enter a sentence and get natural, native-like versions, other ways to say it, and the right tone for the situation. • Get instant corrections — when your wording can be improved, see the better way to say it and why. • Understand any expression — switch to Explain to see a phrase's meaning, grammar, usage, and context, with real examples. • Listen and practice — hear expressions read aloud with word-level timing, replay any word, then record and compare your own pronunciation. • Build your library — save expressions and explanations, then organize them with folders, tags, search, and pinning. • Track your progress — keep a learning streak and review what you've learned. LEARNING LANGUAGES Practice English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, and Arabic. Choose your native language, the language you're learning, and your display language at any time. Results stream in as they're generated, so useful content appears right away.
