Why voice
Understanding text and speaking are different skills
You can drill flashcards for a year and still go quiet at the check-in desk. Speech is trained by speaking, so Lexy has no exercise you can pass without saying a word.
Mistakes get reviewed, not stacked up
After the lesson, Lexy shows what you got wrong and which construction is worth practising.
New words stay with you
Tap any unfamiliar word in Lexy's line: get the translation, hear it pronounced, add it to your vocabulary.
How it works
Setup takes a minute
You talk with an AI avatar named Lexy.

01
Pick a language and a level
49 languages, levels from "complete beginner" to fluent speech. Progress in each language is kept separately.

Allow the microphone
Once, before the lesson starts. That way the browser never interrupts you mid-conversation.
-
03
Speak
Tap the button once and answer. No need to hold it: Lexy hears when your sentence is over.

Complete beginner
A 16-lesson course: greetings, talking about yourself, your first questions to a partner.
Basic phrases
24 roleplay scenarios: a cafe, a taxi, a shop, meeting someone new.
Can hold a conversation
Harder scenarios: a doctor's visit, renting a flat, disputing a bill, a phone call.
Fluent speech
Job interviews, negotiations, discussing the news, at a natural conversational pace.
49 languages
One account, any number of languages
49 languages: 25 European ones, Turkish, Kazakh, Georgian, Hebrew, Persian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Vietnamese and Thai, four languages written in the Arabic script (Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Dari, Urdu), Hindi, Bengali and Tamil, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Indonesian, Malay and Tagalog, plus Esperanto. Progress in each language is kept separately: switching between them never erases what you have done.

FAQ
What people usually ask before lesson one
What is Lexy and how does it work?
Lexy is an AI-powered conversational language tutor available in 49 languages. Unlike traditional vocabulary apps with flashcards, Lexy conducts live 25-minute voice lessons over the microphone where you speak out loud from minute one. The 8-stage methodology includes vocabulary preparation, warm-up chat, live dialogue with an AI partner, pronunciation exercises, listening stories, memory cards, and an exam with Alex.
Do I need a microphone?
Yes, it is required. A lesson runs on spoken conversation: Lexy asks a question out loud and listens to your answer, and there is no way to type an answer inside a lesson. That is why microphone access is requested before your first lesson, not in the middle of it.
What does it cost, and what is free?
The first two lessons are free and need no bank card, and lesson one is open even without signing up. After that it is €10 a month or €100 a year. It is a one-time payment: no auto-renewal, no repeat charges, nothing to cancel.
How many languages are there, and can I start from zero?
49 languages: 25 European ones, Turkish, Kazakh, Georgian, Hebrew, Persian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Tajik, Vietnamese, Thai, four languages written in the Arabic script, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog and Esperanto. Level A1 gives you a 16-lesson course starting from zero. From A2, B1 and B2, the course gives way to a catalogue of 24 roleplay scenarios: a cafe, an airport, a job interview, a doctor's visit, and interactive characters.
Why does Lexy offer languages missing from Duolingo (Georgian, Kazakh, Serbian, etc.)?
Traditional language apps rely on manually designing hundreds of multiple-choice puzzle cards, so they prioritize a small set of mainstream languages. Lexy is built on speech-first AI: we created a dedicated 16-lesson conversational curriculum for all 49 languages. That means rare, regional, and expat languages (Georgian, Kazakh, Armenian, Serbian, Uzbek, Persian, and more) are available in full, spoken out loud from lesson one, at the exact same transparent price.
How long does one lesson take?
A lesson takes about 25 minutes: live spoken dialogue with Lexy plus stages before and after it — vocabulary, a chat warm-up, exercises, a listening dialogue, text, and memory flashcards.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Lexy runs in the browser on a computer or a phone: all you need is a microphone and an internet connection. An iOS app is also available on TestFlight with an offline audio library.
What languages is the interface available in?
10 languages: Russian, English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Arabic. The interface language is detected automatically on first launch and can be switched in settings or on the welcome screen.
What happens to my progress when my access period ends?
Your progress, vocabulary list and audio library stay exactly as they were. Only lessons from the third one onward close, and they reopen after the next payment.
Start lesson one right now
A 25-minute lesson, a microphone, no card. If you don't like it, you lose nothing.
