You build it, you do not tap it
Ako hands you the pieces and you assemble real sentences, out loud. Producing the language yourself is what makes it stick. It is the opposite of tapping the right box.
Coming soon to the App Store
Speak from day one. It adapts from there.
Ako is built on a proven idea: you learn to speak by building sentences out loud, not by tapping boxes. Unlike a fixed audio course, an AI builds each session around you: it remembers what trips you up, aims just above your level, and never runs out. Do a session hands-free on a walk, or sit down with the screen.
Why Ako feels different
A tutor, not a game.
A beat, then you speak
A prompt, a moment of silence, then you say it before the answer is revealed. That small pause is where the work happens. It is the method behind Pimsleur and Michel Thomas, made interactive.
It adapts to you
Ako keeps track of what you have actually mastered, brings back what you miss, and aims each session just above your level. No two people get the same lessons.
A course that rewrites itself around you
Instead of a fixed tape everyone shares, an AI writes each session for you and adapts it as you go. There is always a next step at the right difficulty, so every minute goes to what you actually need.
Hands-free or on screen
Do a whole session eyes-free on a walk or a commute, or sit down with the screen for the visual version. The same lesson, whichever suits the moment.
Calm on purpose
No scores, no streaks, no buzzers. A miss is just “almost, try again”. Lower the pressure and you actually speak, which is the whole point.
Private by design. Speech is processed on your phone, and your voice never leaves it. No trackers, no analytics, no account to start.
How it works
Small steps, out loud, every day.
01
You get a prompt
Ako asks you to say something in your new language, using pieces you have already met.
02
You say it out loud
Take the beat to work it out, then speak. Ako reveals the answer, so you always know how you did.
03
It comes back tomorrow
Whatever tripped you up returns in your next session, a little higher each time, until it is yours.
Speak sooner than you think.
