Orphi is an AI friend you talk with, out loud, in the language you're learning. Tap, talk, and have a real conversation in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Italian or English. There are no scripts and no red marks. Orphi chats with you the way a friend would, corrects you gently along the way, and remembers what you told it. Mention your dog once, and next week it asks how she's doing. TALK, OUT LOUD • Call Orphi whenever you like. Hold the button while you talk, or go hands-free. • Tutor Mode explains your mistakes as you go. Friend Mode just chats and corrects you gently. • Orphi speaks to you at your level, from your first words to easy, fluent conversation. AFTER EVERY CALL • A short recap shows the few things to say better and the words you used. • Add them to your flashcards with one tap. IT REMEMBERS YOU • Orphi remembers the people, plans and interests you talk about, and brings them up later. • Settings shows everything Orphi remembers, and you can make it forget any of it. LESSONS WHEN YOU WANT STRUCTURE • First words: a beginner course for Spanish, French, Italian and Mandarin. • Turn your own class notes, documents or photos of pages into lessons. • Study with flashcards, multiple choice, typing, matching and short tests. Spaced repetition brings each word back right before you'd forget it. • Read short stories and conversations written for your level, and tap any word to see what it means. • Point your camera at things around you and save their names as new words. • Learning Mandarin? Warm up on tones, see pinyin, and find the HSK level of your words. KEEP GOING, TOGETHER • Streaks, streak freezes and little celebrations when you keep going. • A weekly league, friends, cheers and nudges. • Friendly reminders from Goo, Orphi's mascot, around the time you usually practice. A quick level check helps Orphi start in the right place, and you can take it again any time. Orphi is free to download. Questions or ideas?
