Below you can see the most recent updates. You can also see what's coming next here.


Sept 15th:

  • More voices/dialects - Spanish, Italian and German now have some new voices. For Spanish, new dialects include Chilean, Peruvian and Uruguayan. We know there is demand for other dialects but it is limited by our tech providers. We've also switched to a voice model that reduces latency (the time you wait for a response after you reply) for certain languages. You'll see further speed improvements soon.
  • Many of you have told us you want more control when using flashcards - to effectively override the spaced repetition algorithm. This is now possible! When you select a filter, this will be applied when you start a flashcards exercise. Words and sentences you create via the 'generate' button will be auto-tagged. You can edit tags via the pencil. We'll add a bulk edit option soon.
  • Search bar added to flashcards page - find vocabulary more easily (useful for editing)

Sept 9th:

  • Instantly generate lists of words (flashcards) related to your specific interests. You can also generate sentences that contain your saved words to help you learn through context. Click the ‘Generate’ button on the flashcards page to give it a try!
  • Improved design of the translation pop up on mobile (further translation improvements coming very soon)
  • Improved corrections and alternative phrasing

August 27th: You can now bulk delete vocab you've saved.


August 22nd:

  • New conversational exercise for intermediate-advanced learners: learn idioms! The AI will give you an idiom within a sentence, and you'll guess its meaning. You can also ask to explain the idiom if desired.
  • Improved formatting of corrections (including bolding corrections, works 90% of the time)
  • A little gamification to motivate you to practice regularly. Earn points by chatting and reviewing flashcards, and check out the leaderboard on this page to see your rank. We also fixed streak tracking and set it up so you will maintain your streak by replying at least 5 times or reviewing 10 flashcards. Previously, streaks were not being counted accurately. Unfortunately, they had to be reset in order to get the new system ready and provide accurate data. Sorry about this. We promise streak data will be accurate and preserved from now on.
  • As you know, we have hands-free options in the chat settings. But if you're recording a long reply on your mobile, your screen might go off. We've made a change to ensure your screen stays on when you're talking.

August 19th:

  • NEW: Pronunciation feedback - currently available for Spanish, French and English (until our tech partner expands into other languages). When you click the lightbulb button for suggestions for what to reply, you'll now see the option to record yourself and get pronunciation feedback before sending the message. It's not perfect, but it is a great way to test and improve your pronunciation!


August 9th:

  • This week, our default AI provider had a major outage. Fortunately, we provide the ability to switch to a model from another provider via the settings (before or during a conversation). You can switch to 'V2' if you ever experience errors, just remember to switch back after as V1 is noticeably better.
  • The AI now knows your name, and its own name. We've excluded this knowledge from roleplays for now.
  • Improved readability - longer responses are now split into separate paragraphs/lines.
  • New explainer video to help you understand how to converse with AI effectively.
  • Fixed generating interactive transcripts for videos. YouTube had made a change that made things difficult for us.

August 2nd:

  • New conversations for improving your grammar! Practice a specific tense or other aspect of grammar via a number of targeted exercises.
  • Improved 'chat about anything, ask me to repeat corrections' chat option. The AI will now get you to repeat the corrected sentence before it attempts to continue to conversation.
  • Added ability to switch AI model via the settings modal. This can be useful if you encounter an AI error during a conversation, for example if the default provider is experiencing downtime.
  • New voice for American English (Morgan). He sounds a bit like Morgan Freeman...

July 30th:

  • NEW: Click the phone icon button at the bottom of the conversation to either close and return to the conversation options, or get a detailed feedback report that includes corrections and how you can improve. You can also download it as a PDF and share it with your tutor. This is only V1 of the report, please do let us know what you think and whether you would like to see anything else included.
  • You now have access to the smartest AI model on the planet. You should notice some differences in the quality and clarity of responses, corrections and explanations.
  • We've added a Preferred Dialect field in Settings. This will allow you to hear words spoken in the correct dialect in flashcards, content imports, and the translation modal. Note, you already have the ability to select your preferred dialect from within the AI chat tool.

What's coming next? 👀

  • Mobile apps for Android and iPhone (in progress)
  • A faster chat mode, which will feel more like you're having a call with someone.
  • Lots more languages
