Most language apps teach you to recognize words. Copycat Cafe teaches you to speak them. Watch real conversations with voices cloned from native speakers, copy what they say with AI scoring your pronunciation 0-100%, then chat freely with an AI that corrects you without judgment. 15 minutes a day. French and Spanish, more languages coming. Built by two people who read every email. 1,000+ paying learners, $16k MRR.
I was using another online training tool. When I tried to speak French in Canada or in Europe, I would end up switching to English. After using Copycat I am looking forward to trying my French with people who are French. I feel more confident.
Congrats Benjamin and Nur! Really excited to see Copycat Cafe launch.
What I love most is that you’re focusing on the part of language learning most apps still avoid: actually getting people to speak, not just recognize words on a screen. The “copying native speakers” approach feels very intuitive and powerful. It’s such a real problem that learners can understand a language for years and still freeze the moment they need to speak. As someone who has been trying to learn German for years, I eventually realised that if people can’t actually understand what I’m saying in real life, then what’s the point of all that studying?
P.S. I read that German is on the way next. I can’t wait to try it once it launches.
Love you app Benjamin - really helps Meg me to express myself more naturally in French.
@jean_nolan I'm really glad to hear that, nothing makes me happier than knowing we help people actually speak French :)

I'm very pleased and grateful to you Benjamin. I am an on/off French student of yours and have always appreciated your accessibility when I had questions or issues. Wishing you great success in this newest iteration of your life's work.
