About

Poliglota

Features

Poliglota teaches Spanish, English and French the way memory actually works: spaced repetition, real conjugation and whole phrases, not a word list with a quiz. One app for the whole family, from toddlers to grandparents, in all six language combinations, plus math, algebra, geometry and physics. TALK TO SOMEONE, INSIDE YOUR PHONE Order at a café, meet someone new, shop at a market, check into a hotel, ask the way, see a doctor. Your partner uses the words you already know, and you can hear every line again, slowly. Say it out loud and the app checks your pronunciation sound by sound, and tells you how to fix the one you missed. Mistakes are corrected kindly, and new words go straight into your review. It runs on Apple Intelligence inside your device, which it needs: nothing leaves it. What makes it different: SPACED REPETITION. Every word has its own card: easy ones come back later, ones you miss come back right away. That is what turns "having seen" a word into remembering it months later. A THREE-STEP LADDER: recognize, recall, produce. Each word moves up on its own, based on your history. You never pick a level. CONJUGATION, NOT JUST INFINITIVES. Nobody speaks in infinitives. You practice "I eat", "yo como", "je mange" — present and past, with the French auxiliary where it belongs: "j'ai mangé", but "je suis allé". THE ARTICLE COMES WITH THE NOUN. You learn "el agua", "les lunettes", "l'œuf", so you never have to relearn gender word by word. WHOLE PHRASES, NOT LOOSE WORDS. The brain stores them as one block and they come out automatically when you speak. PRACTICE YOUR MISTAKES. What you get wrong is exactly what needs work, so it has its own practice instead of waiting days to come around again. MY WORDS: YOUR OWN LISTS This is the part no other language app does properly. Type the vocabulary list from school, the ten words you need for next week's trip, or the jargon from your job, and Poliglota teaches them with the same ten kinds of exercise and the same spaced repetition as the course. Not flashcards: the whole course engine, applied to your words. SIX AGES, ONE APP Age does not change how it looks: it changes the teaching. A toddler gets a screen of their own where they tap a picture and hear its name — no score, no way to fail. A young child never sees a typing exercise. An adult gets a keyboard, accents and speaking practice. NUMBERS TOO Math, algebra, geometry and physics, generated on the fly so they never run out, with pictures for the youngest: seven apples before the number 7. NO ACCOUNTS, NO INTERNET All progress is stored on your device. No sign-up, no servers, no ads, no analytics. It works fully offline. WHAT IS FREE The first four units, the whole toddler mode, the alphabet, the grammar notes, math, practice of everything you have learned, ten words of your own and two conversation scenes. No account or trial needed for any of that. SUBSCRIPTION Poliglota Monthly (USD 4.99 per month) and Poliglota Yearly (USD 29.99 per year) unlock the rest of the course in all three languages, algebra, geometry, physics, phrase practice, all six conversation scenes and unlimited word lists of your own.
