Learn languages like an alien. Most apps plateau you at A2-B1 (tourist level). Floonzy is designed to help get you to C1-C2, the level where you can truly think, dream, and communicate fluently. The Floonzy method draws on proven intensive drilling methodology with modern cognitive science: bidirectional translation, handwritten exercises, and scientifically-optimized spaced repetition. It's work. But that's why it works! That said, if you just need survival phrases for an upcoming trip, the first chapter of every Floonzy course covers exactly that, and you can complete it inside the 30-day free trial. You'll never need to pay anything unless you fall in love with the language and want to take it further. THE FLOONZY SYSTEM • A complete language textbook built in, with clear grammar explanations for every lesson — not random vocabulary bursts • Handwritten exercises carefully crafted to give you the building blocks of your target language • Multi-voice ear training with varied voices, accents, and speaking speeds to prepare you for real conversations • Intelligent spaced repetition that moves vocabulary from short-term to long-term memory • Hands-free audio mode for passive review during commutes and workouts • Pronunciation guide: tap any word to hear it and see its phonetic breakdown • Advanced analytics that track study hours, immersion hours, chapter progress, and lesson insights — not just streaks AVAILABLE COURSES • Latin American Spanish • Peninsular Spanish • French • Canadian French • Italian • German • Brazilian Portuguese • Inglés (English for Spanish speakers) • Inglês para falantes de português • European Portuguese. BRING YOUR STREAK WITH YOU Switching from another app? Import your streak to Floonzy and keep the momentum going. Your dedication shouldn't reset just because you upgraded your method. MEET THE FLOONZY Your friendly, alien learning companions cheer you on with encouragement and celebration at every milestone. The work is serious. The journey doesn't have to be lonely. Start your 30-day free trial. No credit card required. Floonzy, Inc. is a Public Benefit Corporation.
