most language apps teach you to tap and swipe. alya teaches you to actually talk. she's an AI friend you text in your target language. she replies, corrects naturally, and adapts to your level. no homework. just conversation. → 10 languages: japanese, french, english, hindi + more → no streaks, no drills, no flashcard free to try — 5 messages/day, no credit card.
hey everyone, i'm Amber & i built alya.
i started this because i kept trying to learn languages and quitting. not because i wasn't motivated, but because every app felt like homework. flashcards, matching exercises, the same owl guilt-tripping me for missing a day.
what actually works is conversation. just... talking. making mistakes, getting corrected, trying again. that's how you internalise a language. so i built an app that does exactly that.
alya is an AI you text in your target language. she replies like a friend would. she corrects you when you slip up but doesn't make it awkward. she adapts — if you're a beginner she keeps it simple, if you're advanced she challenges you. she remembers previous conversations.
10 languages including ones that other apps ignore entirely.
it's free to try — 5 messages/day, no credit card. plus ($4.99/mo) and pro ($14.99/mo) unlock more.
i'd genuinely love your feedback. what language would you want to learn? what's missing from how it works today?
