Fluently is the language app that gets you speaking. Short lessons teach you the phrases, AI tutors make you use them out loud, and everything you get wrong comes back until it sticks. A full course in 9 languages, conversation practice in 29. A COURSE THAT GETS YOU TALKING • Bite-size lessons of about four minutes: hear it, say it, build it, match it. • 8 sections from your first words to real conversations (A1 to B2), with 240+ lessons and 1,000 phrases in every course. • You speak in every lesson, and what you say is scored on the spot. • A grammar guidebook alongside the course, with examples you can listen to. • Already know some? A placement step lets you skip ahead. • Courses in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian and Turkish. CHAT WITH AI TUTORS • 385 real-life scenarios with goals to complete: ordering food, a job interview, a team meeting, planning a weekend with a friend. • 210 conversation topics and 41 personas, from a patient Teacher to a Foodie or a Gamer. • Every message you send is rated Perfect, Good or Revision needed, with a better way to say it. • Stuck?

How long have you been telling yourself you'll learn English? Spanish? French? Let's make this the year it actually happens. Not from 400 owl reminders. Not from tapping pictures of fruits and animals. From real conversations — from your very first day. You'll be speaking with confidence in weeks, not years. Just 10 minutes a day with me. You speak or type. I match your level in real time. Use your target language, your native language, or a mix of both as you get more comfortable. MISTAKES ARE WELCOME It's actually how we learn. Make all your mistakes with me first. Then you won't have to make them with real people. When you slip up, I don't shame you. No red Xs. No buzzers. I give you real-time feedback on grammar, pronunciation, and word choice. I use a three-step method I call the Lily Method: I nudge, then I hint, and only then do I give you the answer. Learners fix their own mistakes 46% of the time with this method (Lyster & Ranta research). Other apps just feed you the correct answer — so you learn nothing. With me, you learn it because YOU found the answer. The biggest mistake you can make is being afraid to make one. Duolingo punishes you for mistakes — I reward you for making them. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE Whatever you want to talk about — I'm like a friend who happens to speak 50+ languages. The movie you watched last weekend. Your day at work. The trip you're planning. Your favorite K-drama. The book you can't put down. The song stuck in your head. Personal conversations stick. Generic lessons don't. Pack me for the trip. I'll be your travel buddy who already speaks the language. Want to practice a specific moment — ordering at a Parisian café, checking into a Tokyo hotel, meeting your partner's parents? Just ask me to roleplay it. I REMEMBER YOU Other apps forget you the moment you close them. I don't. I remember the word you stumbled on last Tuesday. I remember your sister's wedding next month. I remember you work in marketing and your dog's name is Bean. Session 100 with me is smarter than session 1 — because I've been paying attention. You told me in onboarding you have a trip to Italy? Today let's talk about what you're packing. You mentioned you're nervous about a presentation? Walk me through it — I'll help you fix the rough spots. EARN STREAKS FOR REAL PRACTICE Streaks earned by real messages, not by tapping a button to keep a number alive. All the motivation. None of the guilt trips. No hearts. No leaderboards. No "you broke your streak!" notifications. 50+ LANGUAGES, NATIVE ACCENTS English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Turkish, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Greek — and 40+ more. Each with native accent variants (British or American English, Latin American or European Spanish, etc.) — so you sound like you actually live there, not like a textbook. STOP STUDYING. START SPEAKING. Babbel scripts you. ChatGPT forgets you. A human tutor costs $30-60 an hour and needs scheduling. I'm available 24/7. I'm 50× cheaper than a private tutor. I remember every word you've ever said to me. And I'll never make you feel stupid for not knowing something — that's the whole reason you're here. Five minutes on your coffee break. Thirty on the train home. I fit your day, not the other way around. Open the app. Say hi. I'll take it from there. — Lily Privacy Policy: https://tutorlily.com/privacy License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula
