Features & Capabilities

Learn a language by talking. Elya is a structured course from your very first word (A0) to mastery (C2): step by step, level by level, with an AI tutor who speaks with you and gently corrects your grammar, pronunciation and writing. For complete beginners and for anyone picking a language up again.

12 languages: Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, English, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi.

No streaks, no red badges, no leaderboards. Come back whenever you are ready. Guide: meetelya.com/guide

REAL CONVERSATIONS AND ROLE-PLAY Act out real-life situations with your tutor: a café, a restaurant, the airport, the doctor, the bank, renting a flat, a work call, a job interview. Or propose anything that matters to you: a meeting next week, a talk with your landlord, an exam. The conversation is never fixed: it grows with what you need. You speak, the tutor answers in character and corrects you as you go, kindly and never with a red cross. Grammar and vocabulary come inside each lesson, and your tutor decides when to move on, not a score.

A TUTOR FOR EACH LANGUAGE Maurice for French, Mei for Chinese, Mariana for Portuguese and more, each with a natural voice. Speak or type; hands-free mode works while walking, cooking or travelling. Your tutor remembers your words, your level and your mistakes, and brings them back until they stick. You can choose the variety you learn: British, American or Australian English, Spanish from Spain, Mexico or Buenos Aires, Brazilian or European Portuguese, Mandarin (mainland or Taiwan) or Cantonese, and more.

PRONUNCIATION, WORD BY WORD Repeat a phrase and get a score for every word.

WRITING, CORRECTED Send a text, a Word or PDF file, or a photo of your notebook. It comes back with every change marked and explained, plus a polished version. From B2: essays, exam-style tasks, articles to discuss, and debates by voice where your tutor takes the opposite side.

READING, PART OF THE COURSE Stories set in real places and graded readings for your level, read aloud word by word. They bring local idioms, nuances and ideas for how to speak and write, and your tutor can talk them over with you. Elya teaches the standard language; dialects and slang come as culture, so you recognise them.

COMPANIONS TO TALK TO Twenty-five companions, many with a real sense of humour. Talk about your day, the news or a book, send a photo or a voice note. They remember you, help you understand a difficult concept or work through a problem step by step, and when your language slips they put it right with a wink.

READ AND LISTEN Graded readings and classics read aloud. Tap a word to see what it means and save it: your tutor brings it back. Text size, OpenDyslexic font and full screen.

TRY IT FREE Everything free for 7 days, then a subscription (Essential, Plus or Premium). Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel any time in your Apple ID account settings.
