Conversational fluency without the judgment.
Practice speaking a new language over the phone with a native-sounding persona who never gets impatient.
Duolingo teaches you words. Vera teaches you how to hold a conversation.
Why it works
Practice real-time listening comprehension over actual phone audio.
Make mistakes without the embarrassment of talking to a real human.
Customize the accent, speed, and scenario to exactly what you need.
Here's how you'd set it up
“"Call me as a Parisian barista. I need to practice ordering coffee and making small talk in French."”
— what you say to Vera
That’s it. Vera handles the rest.
“I was terrified of speaking Spanish on my trip to Mexico. Practicing with Vera gave me the exact confidence I needed.”
