Poly Bla Bla is the language app built for real life. Learn English, Spanish, French or Haitian Creole starting from any one of them, and learn more than one at the same time. LEARN IN ANY DIRECTION Most language apps assume you already speak English. Poly Bla Bla doesn't. Choose the language you speak and the one you want to learn, in any combination of the four: - Speak English? Learn Spanish, French or Haitian Creole. - Speak Haitian Creole? Learn English, Spanish or French. - Speak Spanish? Learn English, French or Haitian Creole. - Speak French? Learn English, Spanish or Haitian Creole. Menus and instructions appear in the language you speak, so you are never lost. BECOME A POLYGLOT Learn more than one language at once. Switch whenever you like, and each language keeps its own progress. WORDS YOU WILL ACTUALLY USE More than 4,000 words and 800 everyday expressions, organized into 45 lessons: greetings, money and shopping, work and scheduling, health, travel, family and much more. Tell the app why you are learning (everyday life, work, travel, family, faith and culture, health and safety, community service or personal growth) and it lines up what to learn next. FROM WORD TO SENTENCE TO STORY Every word comes with real example sentences. Once you know a word, it comes back inside a sentence, then inside a short story, so you learn how it is really used, not just what it means. FOUR WAYS TO PRACTICE - Matching: pair words with their translations - Listening: hear it and pick what you heard - Spelling: type it from memory. Missing an accent? You still get credit, and the app shows you the exact spelling - Pronunciation: train your ear to tell the right word from the wrong one Each exercise tracks your progress on its own, because recognizing a word and spelling it are different skills. FLASHCARDS THAT FLOW Swipe through words with audio that plays on its own. See other correct ways to say a word, like informal or regional versions. Save favorites and keep going straight into the next category. GAMES Endless Quiz, Word Wall and Word Search turn review into play. STAY MOTIVATED Daily streaks, points, levels, badges and trophies, Word of the Day and a full Learning History that shows exactly how far you have come. HAITIAN CREOLE, TAKEN SERIOUSLY Haitian Creole is a full language here, with its own audio and complete curriculum, whether you are learning it or learning from it. EASY TO START A short guided tour walks you through every exercise. Want to look around first? Continue as a guest to browse the full word list and the first lessons' flashcards. Sign in with a code sent to your email, no password needed. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Works with VoiceOver throughout the app. A few minutes a day. Four languages. Every direction. Start learning with Poly Bla Bla.
