Chat about your day or practice ordering food. It's the safest place to make mistakes, get instant feedback, and build real-world confidence. WHY LINGOBUDDY? - REAL VOICE CONVERSATIONS: Call an intelligent AI that listens and responds just like a native speaker. No typing, no judgment, just pure speaking practice. - LINGO REMEMBERS YOU: Every call, Lingo picks up where you left off: your interests, your progress, the words you're working on. It's like talking to a friend who's genuinely following your journey. - A DEBRIEF AFTER EVERY CALL: Hang up and get a short, focused recap: what you did well, what to work on, and what to practice next. Gentle, instant corrections to your grammar and pronunciation, right when you need them. - WATCH YOUR VOCABULARY GROW: Every word you say or hear in a call is saved to your Learn tab. Lingo brings each word back right before you'd forget it (spaced repetition) and slips the ones you're about to lose into your next conversation. Not in the mood to talk today? Practice your flashcards instead. They're built from your own calls, not a generic word list. - SEE YOUR LEVEL RISE: Lingo analyzes your conversations and places you on the CEFR proficiency scale (A1 to C2). Watch yourself move from Beginner toward Fluent as you practice more. 15 LANGUAGES AVAILABLE Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), English, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic. PRACTICE THAT FITS YOUR LIFE Start free with short daily calls, then upgrade for longer calls and more monthly minutes whenever you're ready. Every call runs up to 10 minutes - a quick chat or a proper conversation, your choice. Lingo gives you a soft heads-up before time's up, so nothing ends mid-sentence.
