Introducing Loqal: Learn to Speak by Speaking

·2 min read

Learning a new language is one of the most rewarding things you can do. But traditional methods — textbooks, grammar drills, flashcard apps — often miss the most important skill: actually speaking.

That's why we built Loqal.

Conversation first

Loqal puts you in real conversations from day one. You'll practice with Loqals — characters who speak your target language, respond naturally, and help you improve at your own pace. They're not chatbots that reply with text — they're real-time conversation partners with natural speech and the patience to let you find your words.

Whether you're ordering coffee in Japanese, asking for directions in Arabic, or introducing yourself in Korean, Loqal puts you in real scenarios from day one.

More than just talking

Speaking practice is our core, but Loqal gives you everything you need to build a strong foundation:

  • Video scenarios with vocabulary breakdowns, echo practice, and comprehension checks
  • Creator content that turns videos into comprehensive learning material
  • Live translation of text, audio, and images — inside the app and across your device
  • Smart flashcards that adapt to your learning pace with spaced repetition
  • Writing practice for character-based scripts — Kanji, Kana, Hebrew, Arabic, and Hangul
  • Structured lessons covering grammar, culture, music, and history
  • A learning path that guides you from your first word to fluent conversation

10 languages, one app

We currently support Japanese, Hebrew, Palestinian Arabic, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and English — with more on the way.
