Speak from day one. A spoken level check finds your level, then a daily 10-minute lesson. HOW THE LIVE LESSON WORKS Flai is a real-time voice lesson with an AI coach. You talk, the coach answers, and you take turns the way people actually do in conversation. There is no script to read and no button to hold down between sentences. Choose an available lesson from your learning path, start the call, and speak out loud. CORRECTIONS, AND THE REASON BEHIND THEM Your coach guides you during the conversation. Afterwards, use your lesson report to review corrections, better alternatives and explanations based on what you said. Try the improved version aloud in your next practice. NEW: PRONUNCIATION COACH Build clearer pronunciation with short spoken exercises. Review your sentence score and word-level feedback, then practice the words that need another try. FIND YOUR LEVEL BY SPEAKING Begin with short questions, then speak with the AI coach for a few minutes. When your report is ready, review your level and learning notes. After lessons, return to the feedback and review exercises to keep working on the areas you want to improve. TEN MINUTES A DAY Daily missions, streaks, XP, and daily goals keep the habit small enough to actually keep. Your curriculum is personal and reshapes itself as you progress, so the next lesson follows from the last one. WHO IT'S FOR Heritage Spanish speakers who understand every word at the family table but freeze when it is their turn to answer. Nurses, contractors, and managers who need Spanish for patients, clients, and crews. Anyone rebuilding French from school years, or practicing English for interviews, meetings, and exam-style speaking practice. Best for A2-B2 learners who can already read and want the speaking to catch up. SUBSCRIPTION Flai Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription.
