Small changes that make the habit stick. • We now suggest a partner whose accent fits the country you mention in your intro. • Gentle reminders let you know when it's a good time to practice. You can turn them off in Settings whenever you like. • The character and speech bubble on the home screen sit better on the screen.

Any language pairing you want. • Your native language and the language you're learning can now both be picked from the full list — including practicing English when English is already your native language. • Fixed the first "language you want to speak" step not offering your device's own language. • The plan screen is cleaner, and now shows the free trial length and the weekly cost at a glance.

• Pronunciation practice, redesigned — a big mic front and center, instant scoring, and a one-tap Try again • Phrase cards are now a swipeable deck, so reviewing takes seconds • A cleaner home screen and an easier-to-reach Talk button • Fixed a bug where the translation download sheet kept reappearing during a conversation • Stability and performance improvements

Pick a partner, and they'll start talking to you. • Choose your partner character when you start — listen to each voice, then begin with the one you like. • Your partner reacts when you tap them on the home screen and greets you in their own voice, and suggests what to talk about next. • Every character now has their own voice and way of speaking. • Speaking speed now has five steps. At "Very slow" and "Ultra slow" the voice itself is stretched out, so you can keep up even when listening feels hard. • Your partner shares a quick tip while your lesson note is being written. • The app is about 50 MB smaller. • Fixed notes being generated in your previous language after switching your study language. • Fixed parts of Settings still showing Japanese when the app was in English.
