Read full description

In this app for Spanish and English learners, the focus is on daily speaking practice, understanding native speakers and learning vocabulary. Use the daily short activities to prepare for speaking and listening in the real world. Talk spontaneously about a daily topic. After you see the day’s topic, you have 10 seconds and then you need to start speaking about it. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes - no one is listening (only the AI). Listen to real human native speakers who are talking naturally in real conversations. Test yourself by writing what you hear and finding out if you're correct. You can view a transcript of what they're saying and click difficult words to see an explanation. On the Playlists tab, you can learn and practice vocabulary only by listening. Play a vocabulary list to hear new words with translations, without needing to look at your phone. You could listen and test yourself on vocabulary while walking, driving or cleaning, to maximise your language learning time. Do written or spoken role plays in real life scenarios and see your mistakes corrected. This app was created by a team of two, in the UK, including a qualified language teacher.
