SyllaBrawl is built on one idea: you don't learn a language by recognizing words. You learn by retrieving them under pressure. That's what a duel is. Two minutes, seven rounds, alternating turns with another player or a bot. Answer faster and more accurately than your opponent and their HP drops. Miss a word and it comes back in a no-pressure drill, teach-first. The pressure is the point. The mistakes are the engine. — LANGUAGES — Starting with Korean and Thai. More on the way. Korean — 17 units, 155 hand-authored lessons. Hangul from day one (you read 안녕 in your first lesson), through politeness, conjugation, and connectives. Thai — 16 units, 109 hand-authored lessons. Five tones, three consonant classes, and the Thai script taught as the system that makes Thai work. Every lesson is hand-authored with an intro, a "why it matters," and example sentences that recycle vocab you already know. — PLAY — Friend duels, ranked matches, async turn-by-turn play, and bots tuned to your level. Climb from Tin to Diamond. — PRACTICE — For when you don't feel like fighting. Same lessons, no clock, teach cards on every miss. — PRICING — Free to play, A one-time $2.99 purchase removes ads across all your devices. No subscription. No paywall on lessons. Built for iOS 17 and later.

Learn a language by talking your way through everyday scenes. Line drops you into real situations, a café, a hotel check-in, a job interview, a night out, and puts you in a real conversation with a character who listens and talks back in real time. No flashcards, no scripts. You speak, they answer, and you keep going. A GUIDED PATH Every unit teaches the phrases first, then hands you a scene to use them in. Learn, speak, listen, recall: short lessons you can hear and repeat, with pronunciation feedback on every word you say. SCENES FROM REAL LIFE Greetings, ordering food, getting around, shopping, work and study, health, making plans, telling stories about your travels. Each scene has its own character and goal, and the ones you care about rise to the top. HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT Tap for a translation or a suggested reply, and put your phone down when you do not need it. The character keeps the conversation moving at your level.
