Every hour you've put in built a store of language you understand. Courses, podcasts, flashcards, immersion — it all landed. Nothing was wasted. It just isn't active yet: immersion classrooms are full of students who understood nearly everything and still couldn't say it.
Sentence activation. The shortest path to speaking without thinking.
Speech automaticity is the term for it: saying what you want without hunting for the words. Catch the sentences you froze on, practice them out loud with native-quality audio,
until they arrive on their own.
You already have the language. It's just inactive.
Understanding is recognition. Speaking is retrieval — the right words, in the right order, fast enough to still be in the conversation. Saying your own sentences out loud, on a schedule, is what builds the second. That's sentence activation.
Two thousand sentences you can say without thinking is enough to say almost anything you actually need to say. Not every sentence in the language — the ones you reach for, arriving before you think of them.
Can you make it to 2,000?
Catch it
Enter the sentence you couldn't say. The gap only shows up at the moment you reach for it, so that's when you catch it.
Or your tutor can capture it for you
Say it
Out loud, with native-quality audio, again and again.
Pick a length and press play; we choose which of your sentences come back today.
Say it aloud, reveal, grade yourself.
Pocket audio. Works offline.
A two-minute sprint.
Own it
A sentence is active when it arrives without effort — no hunting for the word, no assembling it first. Every sentence that gets there goes on your count.
Your sentences come back remixed.
Fluent speakers don't build sentences word by word. They speak in ready-made pieces, and every sentence you catch is made of them. Once you've said enough of them out loud, we write you a new set: the same pieces, in sentences you've never seen.
On doit se mettre d'accord.
We need to agree.
Je dois finir ça avant la fin de la semaine.
I have to finish this before the end of the week.
Il faut qu'on se mette d'accord avant la fin de la semaine.
We have to agree before the end of the week.
A piece you've said in more than one sentence is yours, not memorised. Built-in sets come with their own remix. French first, more languages as we go.
Or start from a set we built.
Not every sentence has to be one you got stuck on. We build sets of them, and adding one drops its sentences straight into your queue alongside your own.
Levelled from the basics up and drilled in both directions, so the phrasing an examiner listens for is phrasing you've already said out loud. The Canadian government's SLE is the first one we built.
New city, new job, first week: greeting someone, ordering, asking for help, saying you didn't understand. Survival 50 is fifty of those lines, built into every language we support.
However a sentence reaches your list, it activates the same way: native-quality audio, spaced repetition, every study mode. We keep building sets — tell us which one you want next.
Teach with it.
Your lesson hour is too valuable to spend discovering what your student can't say. Catch the sentence they froze on mid-lesson, from the web — it's on their phone in seconds, with native-quality audio. They activate it before you meet again. Free for tutors, and you earn from every student you bring.
2,000 sentences you can say without thinking beat 10,000 you can only recognize.
No streaks. No gems. No mascots.
Just the confidence to say what you want, when you want.
Questions, answered.
A sentence-activation app. You catch the exact sentences you couldn't say, then practice them out loud with native-quality audio until they come out without thinking. It runs on iOS, Android, and the web.
Because knowing what it means isn't the same as being able to say it. You caught this sentence because it didn't come out — the meaning was never the problem. Reps at speaking speed are what activate it, and you can't tell the difference from the inside until you're standing in front of someone.
There's no course and no lessons, and nothing is sequenced for you. You practice sentences by saying them aloud, again and again — your own, or a set we built for an exam you're sitting or a situation you're in. The only thing the app decides is when to bring each one back.
No. A tutor can capture them for you mid-lesson, and you can add one of our built-in sets — sentences we wrote for a particular exam or situation, like the Canadian government's SLE or the fifty lines of Survival 50. However a sentence reaches your list, it activates exactly the same way from there.
No. Two thousand is the number that changes how you speak, not a limit we enforce — nothing locks when you reach it. Keep capturing and keep going; there is no cap on how many sentences an account can hold.
Dozens of pairs — any combination our translation and text-to-speech cover, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. You pick your mother tongue and target when you start.
One subscription, monthly or annual, and everything is in it: every language pair, every study mode, every built-in set. There is no free tier to outgrow and nothing to buy per sentence. Tutors' own accounts are always free.
Yes — new accounts start on one, and your card is not charged until it ends. You can cancel from your account page at any point before that. The trial is once per customer, so if you have had one already, a new subscription starts straight away.
Understanding is recognition. Speaking is retrieval. Only practice at retrieving makes speaking fast. Six research findings sit behind that, with the full reference list. See all sources
There's no shortcut to speaking a language. There's just a way to stop wasting reps.
