Speak a new language in 30 seconds a day. Yap is a daily voice conversation with a friendly AI tutor. No flashcards, no tapping bubbles — you actually TALK, from day one. One short chat a day is enough to build the habit that makes a language stick. MEET YOUR TUTORS Ten tutors with their own names, faces and personalities — warm Maria, calm Erik, smooth Leo. A different one greets you every day, and they remember to keep it fun: they tease, react and cheer you on like a real conversation partner. REAL SCENES, REAL TALKING Order coffee in Paris. Check into a hotel. Talk your way out of a parking ticket. Choose from 80+ role-play scenes — or let Yap invent brand-new ones just for you. Every chat starts with a quick briefing so you know your mission, plus a bonus word to sneak in for extra points. STUCK? YOU'RE COVERED Suggested replies update live as the conversation flows, so you always have something to say. Tap any word in the chat to translate it instantly — or drag across a whole phrase. Save words to practise later as flashcards. YOUR COACH TAKES NOTES After every yap you get personal notes: what you nailed, what to fix (quoting your exact words), and whether you managed to sneak in the bonus word. MATCHED TO YOUR LEVEL From absolute beginner to near-native (A1–C2), Yap adapts everything: how fast tutors speak, which words they use, and how much help you get. Beginners get slow, simple, patient conversations with English lifelines. BUILD A STREAK WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT A daily flame, a calendar of your progress, and widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen so the streak is always in sight. 15 LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and English. YAP PRO Your first day is free — try a full conversation, no strings. Then Yap Pro is $4.99/month with a 7-day free trial: one fresh conversation every day, all 15 languages, every scene, translations, flashcards and coach notes. Cancel anytime.
