Borne gets you speaking from day one. Every day your tutor has something new to talk about: the next episode of your story, today's news, or anything on your mind. You just talk. Your tutor listens, keeps it at your level and helps when you get stuck. WHAT YOU GET • A new story episode every day: a short mission you play out with your tutor, five episodes per story. • Today's news, picked for your interests, from newspapers in the language you're learning. • Scenes: play out real moments, like ordering in a busy café or asking the way. • Open chat: type any topic, or just start talking. • Corrections after every lesson, plus the new words worth keeping. • Word practice: say your words out loud and watch them move to mastered. • Your tutor remembers what you talked about, so every lesson builds on the last. LANGUAGES Learn Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Korean, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese, Hindi, Dutch, Swedish or English: 12 languages. Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Hindi come with romaji, romanization or pinyin under the text. The app itself is available in 10 languages. TRY IT FREE Your first lesson is free.
