Speak a new language out loud from the first minute, in a place where nobody is judging you.
Loqal pairs short-form video with live conversations with Loqals: lifelike AI characters who speak like real people and have all the patience in the world. Say it wrong, say it again, take your time. Nobody is watching, and you can retry a line as many times as you like.
LEARN TEN LANGUAGES
Japanese, Arabic, German, French, Korean, Hebrew, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and English. Every language has a full course from complete beginner to advanced (A1 to C2). Japanese follows JLPT levels, N5 to N1.
THE HARD PART IS DONE FOR YOU
Talking to a stranger in a language you are still learning is scary. Talking to a Loqal is not. They wait for you, they understand your accent, and they answer in a way you can follow. When you are ready for the real thing, you will have already said the words out loud a hundred times.
HOW IT WORKS
- A short spoken placement conversation finds your level. You can skip it.
- Watch short videos in your language, then step into the same scene and talk.
- Rehearse real moments: ordering coffee, a job interview, meeting your partner's family, asking for directions.
- Every conversation ends with a summary, your corrections, and the key words to keep.
WHAT YOU GET
- Structured courses with lessons, grammar, and culture notes for every level
- Unlimited live conversations with Loqals
- Translation everywhere: inside the app and across your phone with the Loqal extension
- LoqalFM: podcasts made for your level
- Reading practice in twelve genres, from comics to news
- Create short videos with a Loqal to share
PRACTICAL, TOO
Rehearse before a trip, an interview, a presentation, or a spoken exam. Japanese learners can work through JLPT levels one at a time.

Wonky app with limited functionality. The “dialogues” are completely broken and allow you to say one partial sentence and have no responses from the ai despite it being presented as conversation practice.
Developer Response
Hello,Thank you for the honest feedback. We agree that the dialogue feature was far too limited. In the current version we have rewritten it from the ground up, and we hope you find it much more useful. If you give it another try, we would love to hear how it goes. You can reach us directly from the profile page in the app.The Loqal team
Your Loqal says hello once, then lets you get going: the welcome card no longer returns on every launch, and Home sends you straight back to your unit after the day's conversation.
Also new: a fresh Premium screen, a place to enter a promo code on day one, and polish throughout.
