Zaplingo

On WhatsApp, Telegram, iPhone and Android, Zaplingo gives you a language tutor you can talk to like a contact in your chat list.

Zaplingo is an AI language tutor that teaches English, Spanish, French and Italian through conversation, so practice happens in the same apps you already use for messaging.

There is no separate classroom to log into.

The lessons are built around real-life conversations with AI tutors.

You can ask for custom lessons, get grammar explained when a sentence trips you up, and practice pronunciation by sending voice messages.

Zaplingo also offers several AI personalities, which matters if you learn better with a patient, formal teacher than with a casual chat partner, or the other way round.

The approach suits people who want short, frequent speaking practice rather than a structured course with a fixed syllabus.

The language list is small, with four languages, so check that yours is covered before you start.

As an AI language learning assistant, Zaplingo works best as a conversation partner alongside other study.
