"How would a native actually say this?" — Phramo answers, right when you need it.
Just type what you want to say, and Phramo finds the natural phrase people really use. Not a stiff, textbook translation — the way it's actually said in that moment. It's your own personal phrasebook.
It's not a book of set example sentences. Even things you won't find in any phrasebook — exactly what you want to say right now — Phramo puts into words on the spot. And every week, new phrases that natives use all the time arrive in the app.
And it's not only English. Learn in 15 languages — Spanish, Korean, Chinese, French and more. Switch your learning language in Settings; every language works the same way.
■ An app for saying it, not just knowing it
Most vocabulary apps are about input — adding to what you know. Phramo is about output — helping you actually say what you want to say. Only the expressions you really use stay with you.
■ Simple to use
1. Type what you want to say
2. A natural, real-life phrase appears
3. Check the example conversation to see it in use
4. Lock it in with quizzes and review reminders
5. Use it in a real conversation

Version 1.2.0: new phrases every week, and a fresh new design
【New】New phrases
• A new "Phrases" tab brings you phrases natives really use, with new ones added every week.
• Filter by 10 categories: Daily, Food & Drink, Business, Shopping, Travel, Friends, Slang, Home, Health and Sports. The number of phrases is shown at the top.
• Save any phrase with the + button.
• "Phrase of the day" on the Home and Review screens.
【New】3 days of Pro for new users
• New users can use every Pro feature free for their first 3 days. Afterwards the app switches to the free plan automatically — you are never charged.
【Fresh design】
• On iOS 26, the tab bar uses the system's Liquid Glass design.
• Redesigned Review, Journal and Settings screens.
• Write your journal right on the screen and see at a glance what the correction changed. Writing prompts appear in the language you're learning.
• A tapped phrase now lights up, so you can see which one you opened.
• Redesigned phrase card images — the explanation now fits in full.
【Better translations】
• When the subject is left out, Phramo works out from the scene whether you or the other person did it.
• Borrowed words are translated by their meaning, not their sound.
• Words that change with the speaker's gender now show both forms (e.g. Spanish "cansado/a", French "fatigué(e)"), and the audio reads the form that matches the voice you chose.
• Fixed an issue where a phrase could appear in the wrong language.
• Fixed an issue where the roles in example conversations could get swapped.
【Easier to use】
• Change the text size in Settings (it also follows your device setting), and hard-to-read gray text is now darker.
• Tap "Other ways to say it" or "Related phrases" to open one, or + to save it.
• Simpler formality options that are easier to tell apart.
• Swiping between phrases now goes in the natural direction.
• Once you've saved a few phrases, we suggest signing in so they're kept safe.
