Verbsy is an iPhone app for practising a new language out loud. You talk, it listens and answers, and it remembers you between sessions — so every conversation builds on the last instead of starting from a blank chatbot. It works hands-free through your headphones while you commute, cook, or walk.
Verbsy supports 23 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Polish, Turkish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Greek. Five of them let you choose an accent or script: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), Portuguese (Portugal or Brazil), French (France or Canada), English (US or UK), and Chinese (Simplified or Traditional).
Your tutor sets a concrete goal with you and steers lessons toward it. Words you stumble on become flashcards drawn from your own conversations, and five skills are scored from how you actually speak. Verbsy is free to download, with 30 minutes of conversation included; Verbsy Premium unlocks an hour a day.
