We're dedicated to building the world's best AI app for language learning. Traditional apps build vocabulary. Langua builds confidence to speak - through immersive practice with intelligent AI that sounds authentic, corrects naturally, and adapts to your level. WHY LEARNERS CHOOSE LANGUA Maria C.: "I LOVE Langua! I've been using it daily for months. The chat feature is fantastic - it feels like talking to a real, empathetic language partner who corrects me and suggests more advanced phrasing. It's pressure-free and I'm encouraged by how much I'm improving both my intermediate German and my more basic Italian. I taught French for 27 years and have learned Spanish on my own in recent years. This is a fantastic tool for practicing speaking." Guy S: "Langua's AI is very sophisticated and, so far at least, not at all robotic. The conversations feel authentic. The AI provides very helpful feedback on each conversation and gives tips for improvement. Langua is invaluable for language learners like me who can't frequently visit the country where their target language is spoken." Featured in The Guardian and recommended by leading polyglots including Luca Lampariello, Olly Richards and English with Lucy. THE BEST AI FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH CONVERSATION Unlike apps that rely on multiple choice or scripted dialogues, Langua uses advanced conversational AI that lets you express yourself freely across 20+ languages: • Unlimited speaking practice with remarkably realistic AI characters - many cloned from YouTubers we partner with. Choose from multiple dialects. • Call Mode for hands-free practice: Have real-time voice conversations while driving, walking, or relaxing. No typing needed. • Instant corrections with explanations: Get feedback in one tap or review detailed reports after each chat. • Speak your native language when stuck: Can't find the right word? Switch languages mid-conversation and the AI will help you learn the phrase. • Huge conversation library: Roleplays, debates, grammar practice, vocabulary building, or free conversation about your interests. ADAPTS TO ALL LEVELS Whether you're just starting or already conversational, Langua adapts to you. Zero pressure to perform perfectly - our intelligent support features let you converse confidently at any level: • Reply suggestions when you're not sure what to say • Instant translations with usage examples • Innovative guided conversation course for beginners Advanced learners enjoy sophisticated conversations with cultural insights and colloquial expressions to break through the intermediate plateau. Practice freely, make mistakes, and learn in a judgment-free environment.

About

Affectly

Features
Read full description

Affectly is a calm, emotionally intelligent way to learn anything. Meet Ari—your AI tutor who first asks how you're feeling, then adapts the lesson to match. Stressed, curious, overwhelmed, or motivated, Ari meets you where you are and teaches in a way that actually lands. WHY AFFECTLY IS DIFFERENT • Learn by feeling — tell Ari your mood and the explanation, pace, and structure adapt to it. • Built for every mind — opt-in "How I learn" supports tuned for ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, and dyslexic learners change how lessons are presented, not what's taught. • A real tutor, not a search box — ask anything, go as deep as you like, and get patient, conversational guidance. • Structured courses — work through guided lessons with quick AI checks and earn a shareable certificate. • Talk or type — Ari can read responses aloud for hands-free, read-along learning. HOW IT WORKS 1. Share how you feel and what you want to learn. 2. Ari adapts its tone, structure, and depth to you. 3. Learn through natural conversation, courses, and flashcards—at your pace. AFFECTLY PREMIUM Affectly is free to start. Premium unlocks deeper features and is purchased and managed on the web at affectly.app. Your account works across the web app and this iOS app. Privacy Policy: https://affectly.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://affectly.app/terms Learning should feel good. Affectly helps it.
