ON-DEVICE TUTOR NEEDS APPLE INTELLIGENCE. On an Apple Intelligence iPhone (15 Pro or newer, iOS 26) with Apple Intelligence on, conversation stays on your phone. On a phone that cannot run that model, an optional Cloud Tutor opens conversation after a single notice. Written exercises, phrasebook and guides work on every iPhone. Practice a new language by talking — privately, on your own phone. Language Tutor is a language-learning tool you practice by chatting. A patient tutor role-plays a conversation partner in the language you're learning, replies at your level, and gently corrects your mistakes so each exchange becomes a small lesson. No teacher to book, no class to attend, no judgment. ON-DEVICE FIRST, PRIVATE BY DESIGN On an Apple Intelligence phone the tutor is Apple's own on-device model — nothing to download, no account. Turn on airplane mode and keep practicing to see for yourself. Saved phrases and settings always stay on your phone. LEARN BY DOING, NOT MEMORIZING • Voice input (speech-to-text) — tap the microphone and practice speaking aloud; on-device speech recognition transcribes your words privately. • Pronunciation speed & auto-speak — listen at a comfortable, slower pace designed for beginner learners, or have replies read automatically. • Spoken guided dialogue — tap any line in guided conversations to hear clear native pronunciation on any iPhone. • Conversation practice — chat through real scenarios: ordering food, the airport, small talk, directions, and more. • Gentle corrections — mistakes are corrected kindly, with a hint when you get stuck, so you actually improve. • Suggestions when words fail you — tap one of three opening lines to begin, or ask “What should I say?” mid-chat for a few short replies you can send as they are. • Instant meaning — tap a tutor message and what it means appears in your own language, right under the bubble. • Choose your level — beginner to advanced; the tutor adjusts how it speaks to you. • Pick your target language — separate from the app's menu language. • One tap to start — your language, level and scenario carry over from last time, so practice begins the moment you open the app. LEARN KOREAN — INCLUDING TOPIK Practice Hangul conversation by exam band (TOPIK 1–2, 3–4, 5–6). The tutor coaches particles and honorifics, and the written drills follow the same bands. Travel Korean is here too — this is speaking practice, not flashcards. A REAL STUDY TOOLKIT • Phrasebook — save useful lines from any chat into a local phrasebook, grouped by scenario. • Scenario guides — offline guides for common situations, plus grammar and usage tips. • Review — come back to your saved phrases and practice them again. • Practice record — days practiced, conversations and saved phrases at a glance, with a shortcut to whatever is due for review. This record lives only on this phone. BUILT THE BARO WAY • Works offline — the on-device tutor practices anywhere, even with no signal. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics, ever. • Big text, high-contrast design, single-tap controls — easy at any age. • English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Arabic, and Simplified Chinese interface. OPTIONAL CLOUD TUTOR — AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION Only for phones that can never run Apple Intelligence, and only after a single notice. Apple Intelligence phones stay on-device and do not need it. Written exercises stay available on every iPhone without it. No ads. Cloud Tutor — US$0.99 per month. Renews automatically until you cancel; manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://lionandthelab.github.io/omit-talk/privacy.html HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Language Tutor is a practice and study tool for everyday conversation, not a certified course or a human teacher. Where the on-device tutor cannot run, the app says so — there is no silent stand-in. Part of the Baro family — The tools you reach for first.
