This app has been extremely helpful in helping me get some practice in learning German, as I don't really have many people to practice with. The tutor has been extremely helpful in helping correct some mistakes I have made, and the AI pen pals that you're able to talk with have been very helpful in giving me some experience with German grammar rules. Would recommend.

I feel like the app is great, I feel like it has a lot to offer but its not free. Of course there's a subscription offer, but I was only able to send around 6 messages to my penpal before it told me to pick a subscription. Should add a completely free version. Also no ads, although I only had it for a few minutes.

Hey Trey, we're so glad to hear you think the app is great & has a lot to offer. As we're a small team of 4, we had to introduce subscriptions as we scaled to cover our costs, hope you understand. The app would be riddled with ads otherwise! Email me at sam@sylvi.ai and I can give you a discount, as we'd love you to continue learning with us

I already have the knowledge and vocabulary of Spanish but really struggle with practical everyday conversations. Sylvi fills that gap and little by little I'm getting more confident with conversational Spanish. it allows me time to think of my answers, rather than panicking on the spot with what to reply! it also gives you a great breakdown of what you have said wrong and how you can improve. one of the best apps to get me talking that I've ever tried!

Wow thanks so much for the review Tara! It's brilliant to hear Sylvi's helping you close it between having vocab and being able to use it in conversation. Glad the breakdowns of your mistakes are useful too. ”Buena suerte with your Spanish! Best, Sam 🫶
