The big idea
AI voice mode lets you practice speaking a target language for 30 minutes a day with zero embarrassment.
Some examples
- Use AI voice mode to roleplay ordering at a French cafe.
- Ask AI to correct only your verb tenses, not every word.
- Have AI quiz you on vocab using only the target language.
Try it!
Pick your target language. Practice 5 minutes of voice conversation with AI on a daily-life topic.
