Is Teacher AI right for you?

Made for learners who've studied the language but can't yet speak it

Most language apps are for absolute beginners. We're for the next part โ€” when you've put in the hours but still feel clumsy and unconfident the moment it's your turn to speak.

Speaking fluency over time A line chart with two paths. Both rise together through the early stages of learning, then diverge at the inflection point labeled "Speaking practice begins". One path plateaus around the intermediate level; the other continues climbing toward fluency. Speaking practice begins With speaking practice fluency keeps climbing Passive study hits a plateau SPEAKING FLUENCY TIME LEARNING โ†’

Most learners hit a wall at the intermediate stage: you've studied, you understand a lot โ€” but you still struggle to speak. Speaking practice is the only thing that breaks through it, and that's exactly what Teacher AI is built for.

Perfect for you

  • You've been studying a while โ€” now you need to actually use it.
  • You've done Duolingo, a course, or YouTube lessons โ€” and want to speak, not study.
  • You get nervous or feel clumsy when speaking with native speakers.
  • You want to practice every day but can't afford a tutor 3ร—/week.
  • You follow language teachers on YouTube and trust their recommendations.
  • You're an introvert who wants zero-judgment conversation practice.

Honest caveat

  • It won't work as well if you're starting from zero.
  • Teacher AI is a speaking practice app, not a structured course.
  • Complete beginners (no vocabulary at all) won't find enough guidance.
  • Build a solid A2 foundation first, then come back. We'll be here.

Your teachers

Practice with the YouTube teachers you already follow

We've partnered and built Teacher AI with the most popular language teachers on social media. Practice with their AI clones as much as you want โ€” without feeling guilty about taking their time.

How it works

Everything you need to get fluent faster.

Hands-free speaking practice

Stop typing. Just speak.

Open call mode and talk like it's a real phone call โ€” no buttons to press, no script to follow. Practice while you drive, walk, or do the dishes. The transcript appears as you speak, and corrections land gently in context, without breaking the flow.

  • Hands-free โ€” perfect for the commute or kitchen
  • Live transcript as you speak
  • Soft corrections that don't interrupt you

Live call mode in Teacher AI: an Italian conversation with the teacher, live transcripts and a call timer

Curated conversation topics in Teacher AI sorted by theme โ€” career, ambitions, daily life โ€” with prompts from different AI teachers

Curated conversation starters

Never run out of things to say.

Hundreds of conversation starters across themes you actually care about โ€” career, relationships, travel, current events. Pick one and start talking, or ask your teacher to invent a new one on the spot. Sorted by your level, so you're always slightly stretched but never lost.

  • Hundreds of prompts across dozens of themes
  • Matched to your level (A2, B1, B2, C1โ€ฆ)
  • Each teacher brings their own angle on the same topic

Track your progress

Watch fluency turn into a number that keeps going up.

We count the unique words you actually use in your conversations โ€” your word count climbs every time you activate a new one. And any word you tap to translate gets automatically saved as a flashcard you can review later.

  • See your word count climb with every conversation
  • Build vocabulary you can actually use, not just recognize
  • Tap any unknown word โ€” automatically saved as a flashcard
  • Review flashcards to train your memory

Monthly leaderboard in Teacher AI: top learners ranked by vocabulary activated, with their language flag and the current month

Stay motivated

Compete monthly. Climb the leaderboard.

Every month we run a speaking challenge with a live leaderboard. The more you talk and the more words you activate, the higher you climb. Practice stops being a chore and starts being a game you want to show up for.

  • Monthly speaking challenges with a live leaderboard
  • Compete with hundreds of learners in your language
  • Rankings update in real time as you practice

Available everywhere

iPhone, Android, browser. Same account.

Start a conversation on your commute. Pick it up at your desk. Same teacher, same streak, same vocabulary list.

Got 10 minutes between meetings? Open a tab. No app to install if you don't want to โ€” most language apps don't have a real web app. We do.

Built by language learners

By the people who've been sharing language learning for the last 10 years.

"People ask me all the time what the absolute best way to learn a language is. I'm frustrated when I have to tell them to spend a lot of time with an expensive language tutor with limited availability. Teacher AI has changed that."

App Store reviews

The #1 alternative to traditional tutoring โ€” according to our students.

A few of the 500+ five-star reviews we've received on the App Store.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

A2 to B1 in one week

I've never spoken so much Italian in my life. The streak feature is dangerous in the best way.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Game changer for introverts

I can practice without the panic of looking stupid in front of a real person. Finally an app that gets it.

Anna T. ยท 3 weeks ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Better than my last tutor

Honestly, like the best lesson I've ever had with an online tutor โ€” except I can do it at 6am in my pyjamas.

Sophie B. ยท 1 month ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Spoke Italian for the first time in 4 years

Took 10 minutes to remember I actually knew the words. The conversations are so natural it doesn't feel like practice.

Giuseppe R. ยท 1 month ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Brought tears to my eyes

Sounds dramatic but after years of being too scared to open my mouth, I finally feel like I can actually speak.

Emma W. ยท 1 month ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Ten minutes turned into one hour

Sat down for 10 minutes and the conversation just kept going. I've never had a language app feel this addictive.

Lucas H. ยท 2 months ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Less anxiety than with a real person

No judgment, no rush, no embarrassed silence on my side. Just me, building the muscle without the stage fright.

Nadia P. ยท 2 months ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Incredible value for money

I'd been paying โ‚ฌ30 a lesson with an online tutor. This costs less than one of those for a whole month โ€” and I use it every day.

David K. ยท 2 months ago

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

It works like a bloody treat

Three weeks in and I'm dreaming in French again. The progress feels real this time.

Questions?

Frequently asked questions

Is there an app?

Yes, available on the App Store and Google Play. We recommend signing up via the website โ€” once you do, we'll email you the download link.

Will I get access to all languages?

Yes. One subscription unlocks every language we currently offer (60+), and you'll get every new language we add automatically.

What's the difference between ChatGPT and Teacher AI?

Teacher AI is built on top of large language models, but it's designed specifically for language learners. Things Teacher AI does that ChatGPT doesn't:

  • Practice with clones of your favorite language teachers from YouTube
  • Built-in exercises and speaking topics, sorted by level
  • Tracks your progress (vocabulary, fluency, streak)
  • Keeps you accountable with daily reminders
  • Compete with other learners on the leaderboard
  • Monthly speaking challenges
  • Tap any word in the conversation to see the translation and hear it spoken
  • Words save automatically to your vocabulary list
  • Bilingual teachers โ€” you can switch to your native language any time

It's also cheaper than most LLMs ;)

Can I gift someone a subscription?

We don't have a formal gift system yet, but you can create an account in their name, pay for it, then remove your card from "Subscription Management" in settings. Drop us an email and we'll help you set it up cleanly.

Can I upgrade my monthly plan to annual?

Yes โ€” email [email protected] and we'll calculate the prorated upgrade cost and switch you over.

Can I share my account with my partner / family?

Technically yes, but the experience is built around one learner โ€” vocabulary, progress and streaks are personal. For best results, each learner should have their own account.

Will you add language X?

Probably! We add new languages regularly, as long as our LLM and text-to-speech support them. Multiple Arabic dialects and more Spanish variations are on the roadmap.

Can I use Teacher AI as much as I want?

Yes โ€” unlimited speaking practice. Our power users do 1โ€“2 hours a day; most do 10โ€“20 minutes.

Can I affiliate for Teacher AI?

We have an affiliate program for schools and creators with a meaningful audience. Get in touch and we'll send the details.
