I have never written a review for an app before but after discovering Sylvi I feel like I need to write a review! This app is a game changer for those who are actually trying to learn a language and become fluent! This app implements most of the things you need to learn a language like verbs, pronunciation, spelling, grammar, and even basic lessons that are a great foundation! Sylvi implements all these aspect and puts them into real conversation through texting! My Spanish improved so so much just after a couple of weeks! it’s insane how fast you can pick up a language when the methods of learning are immersive and realistic instead of just the memorisation of random words! This app is such an amazing first step to speaking a language fluently with locals and understanding the fundamentals of the language! Highly recommend, best thing I ever did for my Spanish!

I don’t have the talent to know whether the app is 100% correct in its teaching, but the AI here is well designed. The “teaching” happens as chat bots continuously ask you questions. It almost feels like a therapy session at times, which isn’t a bad thing but sometimes feels less casual and conversational as a result.There are two learning modes. There is a straight-up tutorial bot that coaches based on your questions or generates prompts to practice with. The other bots engage in discussion topics randomly generated based on loose profiles like “casual” or “flirty.” I haven’t tried flirty, as you need gems to unlock that over time, but the casual bot feels like a polite person you could be acquaintances with IRL.Overall, I think it’s a good supplement to users of Duolingo and other independent learning methods. Sylvi isn’t really a gamified app (yet) despite the presence of leaderboards, and I’m hoping it doesn’t adopt too much of that mentality. Duolingo has been key to my learning a lot of words and conjugations, but it lacks the contextualized learning people acquire from conversations; that’s where Sylvi excels. As an Intermediate learner, it’s nice to converse at my own pace in order to generate complicated sentences. As far as improvements, a Dark Mode would be nice.

The features and the way it functions is so well thought out. It doesn’t feel like a learning app and more like I’m talking to a friend. I’ve been trying to learn Spanish for a few years now but while I’ve learned a lot of words, I would still struggle with grammar and verbs to feel confident to actually practice IRL. I love how with this app the ask Sylvi feature is so intuitive and thorough in explaining not only the translation but how the context better for some phrases and what tense it’s in! I constantly get caught mid conversation on how to say something so I love that feature so much. The penpal feature feels natural to apply what I know and learn to think in the language without feeling like a quiz and without judgement. And I absolutely love the spellcheck before you send the messages so I can learn the right way and not develop improper language habits. Obviously, they are other features in the app also that I haven’t tried yet as I am still new to using it. I just want to express how grateful I am that this was created because using it has felt like what I’ve been missing in my learning journey so THANK YOU for creating an awesome and helpful app!!

This app has really helped me become less nervous when talking with natives in person. It gives great feedback and suggestions and has a very good voice feature. I’ve been able to use a lot of what I’ve learned on this app with my native friends. I only wish we earned diamonds a little faster. I’ve been talking to Clara forever and wish there was a faster way to unlock the other AI partners, but other than that I don’t really have any complaints. I see a lot of potential in this app for the future
