It takes 40,000 words to be fluent in a language. Most language apps leave you at 5,000. Pick a word. Any word. Most language apps hand you the same tired curriculum — colors, farm animals, "the boy eats an apple." TONGUES does the opposite. You choose what you learn, starting with the words you already care about: the jargon from your job, the slang from your hobbies, that phrase you've been dying to drop at a dinner party. Learn vocabulary that's actually relevant to your life, not a textbook's Start from your profession, your hobbies, your obsessions Give elaborate prompts and get lessons tailored to them Study what sticks, because you picked it. Studying a language should feel like learning to say the things you want to say. With TONGUES, it finally does. Download Tongues and pick your first word.

AUDIO PLAYLISTS With TONGUES, everything is automatically an audio playlist.

For commonly used language, ElevenLabs is used, and for rare languages, Forvo is used. ARTIFACTS With TONGUES, you can generate artifacts which are conversations stories that can be read out loud. You can generate their prequels and sequels while testing your reading comprehension for them. CONVERSATIONS When conversing with the AI, get valid responses in real time. Break down grammatical structures coming from the chat, and save words you don't understand back to your flashcard deck. TONGUES remains the only true language learning application that harnesses top frontier models
