Gliglish is an innovative language-learning tool for students who prefer to speak rather than read or write. Gliglish, founded in 2023 by Fabien Snauwaert, uses AI to engage in conversation with a virtual tutor. Users can role-play in familiar, real-life events, communicate verbally, and receive quick feedback on their grammar, pronunciation, and accent. As a software service, Gliglish supports a wide range of languages, and users can use transliterations if they are unfamiliar with the script. Gliglish is better suited than other apps for teaching novices how to talk naturally.
Gliglish differentiates itself by prioritizing real-time voice interaction. Students can slow down the AI's audio, click on words to repeat a sentence, and read translations or ideas for what to say next. This type of practice minimizes the tension of speaking and increases confidence. A free plan is available with limited capabilities, while the premium "Plus" package includes longer talks, more subjects, priority access to the AI teacher, and limitless speaking practice. Gliglish is a one-of-a-kind immersive, interactive, and conversational setting that simulates real-world conversation practice and allows you to improve your fluency and conversational speed.
