About

TUD

Read full description

TUD is a speaking practice app where language learners talk their way through short Voice Missions on a city map, in Spanish, English, French, Japanese or German. It is made for beginners and returning learners who know some words but freeze when it is time to speak. Instead of tapping flashcards, you answer out loud. Pick a language and its city: Spanish in Madrid, English in London, French in Paris, Japanese in Tokyo or German in Berlin. Each mission is an everyday situation, such as ordering a coffee, asking for directions, making a reservation or handling a change of plans, with a few clear objectives to complete. In a mission, TUD talks only in the language you are learning. That is the practice. When you are stuck, the coach card on your screen shows an example sentence or key words. Before each mission, choose Guided, Balanced or Immersive support to set how much help you see. New: the TUDDING ROOM. After a mission, practice the phrases TUD almost caught. TUD says each phrase at normal and slower speed, and you get three tries to say it back. Time in the room uses none of your speaking minutes. With an account, your first visit is free; after that a short video opens the door, and with TUD Pro you walk straight in. What you get: - Five languages, each with its own city map: Madrid, London, Paris, Tokyo and Berlin. - Missions from A1 to C2, following CEFR-style levels. - A review after every mission: what went well and what to try next. - YAP for the objectives you complete, to unlock the harder zones of each city. - A daily speaking streak. - 10 free speaking minutes every day, and 5 more after a short video. TUD Pro gives you unlimited speaking time, no ads during practice and early access to higher missions. Without Pro you can still unlock every level from A1 to C2 with YAP. Start with one short mission, practice out loud, and build speaking confidence one small conversation at a time. TUD Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. The price for your country or region is shown in the app before you subscribe. Terms of Use: https://www.tudapp.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.tudapp.com/privacy
