Learn a language by talking.
Step into everyday situations: order dinner, view a flat, get through a job interview. The people in them answer like people do. A tutor notes every mistake, and short practice brings it back until it sticks.

Made for two moments
You are starting out
Begin at A1 with a coffee order or a taxi ride. Type when speaking feels like too much. The tutor explains in English, and every new word can become a card.
You understand, but you freeze when you speak
Courses and apps got you here. What is missing is talking. Practise real conversations at any hour, and see exactly which mistakes keep coming back.

Before you start
Who do I talk to?
AI characters who play the people in each situation: a waiter, a landlord, a new colleague. A separate AI tutor reads your lines and notes what to fix.
Can I speak, or only type?
Both. Speak into your phone or computer and hear the characters answer, or type if you prefer. You can switch at any time.
I am a complete beginner. Is it for me?
Yes. Start at A1 with short, simple scenes. The tutor writes in English, and you can type instead of speak until you feel ready.
Which levels?
From A1, your first words, to C2. You pick where to start; after that your level moves by itself as you practise.
What does the free trial include?
7 days with every language and feature, and a set amount of practice. No card needed, so nothing is charged when it ends.
What happens after the trial?
Your levels, words and cards are kept. Pick a plan to go on, or leave it. We mail you two days before the trial ends.
What is the practice allowance?
Each month of a plan includes practice, shown as a bar: about an hour a day. Each day has a share; when it is used you can take more from the rest of the month.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Convola runs in the browser on any phone or computer. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Are my recordings kept?
No. Your speech is turned into text and only the text is kept, so you can read your conversations back.
Can I cancel?
Any time, with one button on your account page. Your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.

Your first conversation is waiting.
