Do I need to sign up?

Not to try it. The first conversation starts straight from the button, with no account. Signing in afterwards keeps what you did and unlocks the daily free minutes; an email or a Google account is enough.

Will it understand my accent?

It is built for non-native speech and understands most accents well. When it is not sure what you said, it checks back rather than guessing, so a mis-hearing costs one sentence, not the conversation.

Does it correct my mistakes?

It is a vocabulary tutor first. It notices which words you know, brings in the ones you are missing, and brings them back later until you use them yourself. It will explain a word or a phrase when you ask. It does not interrupt you to correct grammar, because that is what stops people talking.

A browser on a phone or a computer, a microphone, and somewhere you can speak out loud. Headphones help. If you cannot talk right now, a text chat with the same tutor is one click away.

Is it suitable for beginners?

It works best once you can hold a simple conversation. It adapts to your level, slows down and keeps its own words simple for beginners, but if you are starting from zero you will find the first sessions hard. The interface is available in eight languages; the tutor speaks English.

Practice English conversation online, free

The hard part of speaking practice is not the English. It is finding someone patient who will talk with you for ten minutes, today and again tomorrow, about the things you actually want to say. VocabHang is a spoken AI conversation partner that does exactly that.

What a session is like

You press the button and start talking. The tutor listens, answers in a natural voice, and keeps the conversation moving: your work, your city, a film you saw, whatever you bring. There is no script to follow and no list of phrases to repeat.

While you talk, it is working out which words you know. In your first session it maps your vocabulary and ends with a reading of your range on the CEFR scale. After that it stays a little ahead of you: new words arrive when they fit the conversation, come back in later sessions, and show up on your progress page as they settle in.

Why conversation, not drills

Words you meet in a real exchange, about something you care about, are the ones you keep. Flashcards give you recognition; conversation gives you use.
Speaking out loud is the skill most learners get least practice at, because it needs a partner. A partner who never tires, never judges, and is available at midnight removes that excuse.
Adaptive is the difference between practice and frustration. A conversation pitched slightly above your level is hard enough to learn from and easy enough to enjoy.

What “free” means here

The first conversation needs no account at all: press the button and talk for a few minutes. After you sign in you get a free allowance of conversation minutes every day while we launch, with no card. Bought minutes exist for people who want more, and nothing you use for free will start charging you.

Who it is for

Learners who can already string sentences together and want to speak more fluently and with a bigger vocabulary. That covers most people who learned English at school, use it at work in writing, and freeze when they have to talk. If you would rather measure first, the three-minute vocabulary test shows your level and leads into the same conversation.
