ConvoLive is free speaking practice for English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, German, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese and Korean: you talk out loud, an AI character talks back, and there is no subscription.
You can read more of a language than you can say. Everybody who has studied one knows the feeling: the words are in there, and they will not come out in front of an actual person.
ConvoLive is speaking practice. You talk out loud, an AI character talks back, and it answers what you actually said rather than what a script was expecting.
No subscription, no paywall
There is no premium tier and no locked scenario library. Sign in with an email address, Google or Apple, with no password to remember, and there are no payment details to enter.
A town that remembers you
Open the app and you are back in your town: a cast of characters you keep meeting, relationships that grow the more you talk to them, and a day counter that tracks how long you have been coming back. A journal keeps a record of who you have met and what is next. Prefer to jump into one scenario instead? Quick chat keeps the full list: ordering coffee, checking into a hotel, getting through customs.
Real goals, not open-ended chat
Every conversation, in the town or in Quick chat, opens with a short list of things to get done. Order three apples. Ask for the total. Each one ticks off the moment you actually do it, and nothing is scripted, so the tick is proof you got there yourself. It is also how you know you are finished, which a chat window that just keeps going never tells you.
Every turn is spoken
You cannot type your way through this one. Reading a language and speaking it are separate skills, and the one you keep avoiding is the one that stays hard.
A way out when you freeze
A few suggested lines are always sitting there. Play one to hear how it should sound, say it yourself, or translate it first if you are not sure what it means. When the thing you want to say is not among them, type that in your own language and get it back in the language you are learning, without leaving the conversation.
Tap any word and understand it in context
The word gets explained right where it sits, in the sense the sentence is actually using. Spanish "queda" is "it remains", or "it suits you", or "let us meet", depending on the line it turned up in, and a dictionary hands you one of those at random. If it was the whole sentence that got away from you, that is a tap as well.
Describe a situation, get a conversation
Ask your partner's father for his blessing. Ask your mother-in-law how she makes her quiche. Explain a rash to a pharmacist in a country you landed in yesterday. The situation you are actually dreading is not in anyone's course list, so write a sentence describing it and practice it here first.
