weirdfriends vs Grow Fluency

Language learning, but make it weird. weirdfriends is a casual language app where you learn by texting AI characters — ones you build yourself, or quirky hand-picked friends you match with. Want to text a melodramatic microwave? A hamster who won't stop talking about carrots? A chaotic chef who only speaks Spanish? Go for it. Every conversation is a real lesson that never feels like one. CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER Design an AI friend with their own name, personality, and voice — then start texting. Or match with our cast of weird originals if you'd rather just jump in. DROP INTO SCENES Pick a scenario and play it out together: you won the lottery, a cooking disaster, you swapped bodies. Scenes give you something to react to, so you're never staring at a blank chat wondering what to say. CORRECTIONS THAT ACTUALLY TEACH Make a mistake and your friend gently fixes it — then explains WHY, in plain language. Tap any message for an instant translation. It's the messy, colloquial practice that textbooks and streak apps skip. THEY TEXT YOU FIRST Turn on notifications and your characters slide into your DMs throughout the day, so practice fits into your life instead of becoming another chore you forget. MEETS YOU AT YOUR LEVEL From your very first words (A1) to fluent (C2), conversations adapt to your skill so you're always a little challenged, never lost. 24+ LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Romanian, Polish, Greek, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay & English.

Grow Fluency — Learn Languages Through Immersion Most language apps teach you words in isolation. Grow Fluency puts them in context — where they actually stick. Read a story. Watch a YouTube video. Import an article you actually care about. Tap any word you don't recognize to see its translation instantly. Save it, and Grow Fluency brings it back at the right moment using spaced repetition — so you review words just before you'd forget them. It's the same simple loop everywhere: encounter a word in something real, tap it, keep it. Read Short stories generated around your own vocabulary, at your level. Tap any word for an instant translation. Watch Paste any YouTube link and watch with your target language's subtitles live in the app. Miss something? Hit translate-back — the video freezes, you hear the last few seconds explained in your native language, then it replays them in the original. Tap any word in the subtitles to save it straight to your collection. Import Bring in articles from the web by pasting a link, or drop in your own text. Read anything you want with tap-to-translate on every word. Practice Output Practice turns recognition into real production — write a journal entry using the words you've learned and get it corrected line by line. Review Smart spaced repetition schedules every saved word automatically. Track streaks, watch your words move from "learning" to "mastered." Also included: 12 languages, including Egyptian Arabic, Lebanese Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean A tutor for any language question, any time Anki deck import — bring your existing decks with you Progress tracking and achievements Learning a language doesn't have to mean grinding through flashcard decks.
