People learn a language by living in it. Project Fluency lets you live in one from home. Every language comes with its own city: Spanish in Mexico City, French in Paris, Italian in Rome, Portuguese in Rio, English in Chicago. You talk out loud, at your level, with the people who live there: AI characters with jobs, accents and opinions, who remember you from one conversation to the next. You work shifts in their town, read the news, listen to songs. And after every conversation, you see exactly what to fix. THE PEOPLE IN TOWN A market seller in Mexico City who will teach you to haggle. A barber in Rome with a story for every haircut. A bartender in Paris who will happily argue philosophy. A cook in Buenos Aires who runs her kitchen like a general. Every language has its own characters in its own city, each with a job, an accent and opinions of their own. Learning English? Rehearse a visa interview, a job interview, or a meeting with your team. ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED In the middle of a conversation, just say it: slower, please. Say that again. What does that word mean? Correct me more. Can we practice for my interview? Between conversations, send them a message. They remember you. SEE WHAT TO FIX - After each conversation, the character leaves you a short note with one thing to work on. - Hear your own mistake in your own voice, then hear it said right. - What you struggled with comes back on its own: in your next conversation, a short lesson, a story or a game. No lists to keep. PRACTICE BETWEEN CONVERSATIONS Short lessons built from your own mistakes, each with a quick quiz. Audio stories, the day's news rewritten at your level, original songs and city guides. Movies in some languages. And games set in the city: run a hotel front desk, serve at a café or play bingo night, using what you've been practicing. LIVE CLASSES WITH REAL TEACHERS Book a one-to-one video class. Your teacher reads a summary of your conversations first, so class starts where you get stuck. Live classes are in Spanish for now. KNOW YOUR LEVEL Take a spoken level check with an AI examiner whenever you're ready, from beginner to upper-intermediate. Pass, and your new level is recorded with the date. NO STREAKS, NO PRESSURE Your progress is the time you actually spent speaking. Miss a day or a month and nothing is lost. FULL IMMERSION One switch moves everything into the language you're learning: your conversations, your notes, your questions. Like waking up abroad. EVERY LANGUAGE IN EVERY PLAN Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and English are all included, whichever plan you choose. The app itself works in any of them too. HONEST ABOUT AI The characters are AI, with generated voices. Before your first conversation, the app explains what happens to your voice and your words, and asks for your agreement. The live teachers are real people. PLANS Project Fluency is free to start. Tourist and Local are monthly subscriptions that give you more time to talk and message, and more replays of your mistakes. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm. A subscription renews each month unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use and Privacy Policy: https://projectfluency.com/legal
