Mistakes are welcome.

Mistakes are
welcome.

When you slip up, I don't shame you. I nudge you toward the fix and let you try again. No big red Xs. No hearts lost. Duolingo punishes you for mistakes. I reward you for making them.

It's actually how we learn.

My teaching method gets you to 46% self-repair — meaning you catch your own mistakes nearly half the time. Other apps? Closer to 0%. I'm built on peer-reviewed linguistics research. Not vibes.

Let's talk about what you like.

Let's talk about
what you like.

Movies, Travel, Music, Books — pick a topic, then tell me about your upcoming trip, your favorite show, the album you've been replaying. Generic lessons are forgettable. Personal conversations stick.

Stuck? I'm here to help & teach.

Stuck? I'm here to

Blanking on a word? I'll teach it with examples from the movie you mentioned last week, the trip you're planning — the stuff you actually care about. Other apps forget you the moment you close them.

Earn streaks for real practice.

Show up daily. I track the rest. Streaks are earned by sending real messages, not by tapping a button to keep a number alive. No fake rewards. All the motivation. None of the guilt trips.

Practice, practice, pratice!

I moved from Toronto to Montreal and needed to learn French fast. But it's hard to become fluent in a new language unless you have someone to practice with. Tutor Lily is always down to chat and I don't get offended when she corrects me. I can make all the mistakes with her so then I don't feel self-conscious when I speak to real people.

Better than a human, at any hour

Nov 12 · Jeff H.

I love Tutor Lily. I am amazed at its capabilities to remember conversation and to respond intelligently. I feel comfortable playing with Spanish and not being afraid to make mistakes. Tutor Lily is great at understanding me, and if I use English and Spanish together, Tutor Lily doesn't miss a beat. In many ways, Tutor Lily is better than humans because I can't annoy Tutor Lily with my nonsensical babbling at whatever hours of the day or night. Great learning tool!

It teaches the mechanics, not just words to memorize

May 10 · Eric K.

This is the only language app, out of several I have used, that actually teaches you the mechanics of a language beyond having you merely memorizing words and phrases like a trained monkey. This app is the best on the market, bar none, and is definitely worth the cost of upgrading to the Pro version.

I am very excited by this app!

I have only started using this app this week but it is already so helpful for practising my Italian in a more practical way. I really feel like its exactly what I needed on top of Duolingo! The corrections are clear and easy to understand, and it's an enjoyable experience to talk to the AI.

Questions

Frequently asked

Duolingo makes you tap pictures for months before you ever speak a real sentence. ChatGPT has no idea who you are. Every conversation starts from scratch. I remember every mistake you've made, every goal you have, and what you share with me about your life. And when you get something wrong, I don't just rephrase your sentence correctly. I nudge you to find it yourself (elicit → hint → recast), using a 3-step method from peer-reviewed linguistics research. The result: a 46% self-repair rate vs ~0% for generic chatbots.
