Aria is your personal AI tutor for speaking English with confidence — talk out loud anytime, about anything, and get gentle, instant feedback. Most apps make you tap and match. Aria makes you talk. Have a real spoken conversation, and after each thing you say you'll see what to fix and a more natural way to say it — explained in your own language. WHY ARIA • Unlimited speaking practice — no daily limits on conversation • Instant corrections on grammar, word choice, and phrasing • "Say it better" — a more natural rewrite of what you just said • Explanations in your native language (20 languages supported) • Private by design — your voice isn't recorded or stored; only the text of what you say is used • Pronunciation practice — hear a word, say it back, get scored • Daily lessons and roleplay scenarios (interviews, travel, work, and more) • Track progress: fluency score, streaks, vocabulary, and weekly goals HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell Aria your level and what you want to work on 2. Start a conversation — speak naturally 3. Review corrections and "say it better" tips after each turn 4. Build a streak and watch your fluency grow Speech recognition and playback use Apple's built-in technology (on device when available). Aria is an educational tool, not a substitute for professional instruction. Aria Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: • Monthly — $19.99 / month • 3 Months — $44.99 / 3 months • Yearly — $79.99 / year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
