Viglot

Read full description

You understand far more than you can say. Viglot closes that gap with speaking practice built around your own life, in 40+ languages. ■ When it's your turn, your mind goes blank You've studied for months, maybe years. You can read a menu and follow a conversation. But when it's your turn to speak, your mind goes blank. Fluency isn't knowing more words, it's getting them out when it counts, and that is exactly what Viglot trains. ■ Past the basics, most apps run out of things to teach you Ordering a coffee and asking the way won't get you through a doctor's appointment, a job interview or dinner with your partner's family. Viglot starts where beginner courses stop and takes you from intermediate to advanced (B1 to C2), with new situations every time instead of the same drills with longer words. ■ Learn the language for your life, not a textbook's Tell Viglot what you need the language for: your job, a move abroad, your partner's family, football, cooking. Every lesson becomes a scene from that life, and every phrase comes with a picture of the moment and a native-quality voice. Words you need, seen in a real moment, are words that stay. ■ Practice speaking without an audience No one to practice with, or too self-conscious to try in front of people? Your conversation partner in Viglot is an AI: it's there whenever you have ten minutes, never loses patience and never judges. You get a goal, like returning a faulty jacket, explaining your symptoms or agreeing on a price, and you talk it through out loud. Afterwards you find out whether you got there and what to say better next time. ■ Don't stall when a word is missing In a real conversation you forget a word, or the other person gets you wrong. Viglot trains you for both: you practice saying things in your own words, and Viglot even misunderstands you on purpose, so you learn to rephrase, give an example or ask a clarifying question until your point lands. ■ Stop forgetting what you learned Words you struggle with come back sooner, words you know come back later, so your time goes where it's needed. A word only counts as learned once you've produced it yourself, not just recognized it. And the difficulty follows you: it eases off when you're struggling and pushes when you're cruising. ■ Exam coming up? Type your exam as the topic, for example DELE B1, DELF A2, Goethe B1, JLPT N4, HSK 3 or TOPIK II, and your lessons follow its syllabus unit by unit. Any other topic works just as well. Viglot isn't affiliated with any exam provider. ■ Not learning from English? Most apps only teach from English. Viglot works in any pair of 40+ languages, in either direction: German from Persian, Spanish from Arabic, English from Ukrainian, Japanese from French. Learn Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and many more, including regional varieties such as Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Egyptian Arabic. Right-to-left languages work fully, and the app itself is available in 36 languages. ■ Who it's for Viglot is for learners who want to finally use what they know. It covers A1 to C2 and is tuned for B1 and up. It isn't made for complete beginners: it assumes you already know the basics. ■ Free to start The core exercises are free. Premium unlocks the conversations and the speaking practice, plus listening, culture and grammar-feedback exercises. Premium is a monthly subscription; cancel anytime. You know more than you can say. Time to start saying it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://viglot.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://viglot.com/privacy.html
