Start in ArabicHow it works
One session, six small steps.
Every session has the same shape, so you always know what comes next.
- 1
Warm-up
Words from earlier sessions come back just before you'd forget them.
- 2
Lesson
One real situation and the phrases it needs, said out loud from the start.
- 3
Drill
You build the sentences yourself, and every answer gets checked.
- 4
Correction
Mistakes explained plainly, then kept in your mistake log until they're fixed.
- 5
Pronunciation
Hear a native voice, say it back, and try again until it sounds right.
- 6
You can now say
Every session ends with the sentences you can say now that you couldn't before.
The people
Meet the people you'll talk to.
Each course has its own cast, with their own lives and stories. One of them becomes your main character and stays with you.

Why Tellamo
Built for talking, not for streaks.
You speak from minute one
No weeks of tapping pictures first. Your first real conversation happens in your first session.
No streaks. No lives. No timers.
Nothing to lose by taking a day off. You come back because you can hear yourself getting better.
A tutor that remembers you
Your words, your mistakes and your past sessions are kept, so every session starts where you are.
Your own path
A short check skips what you already know, and the situations for your goal come first: work, family, travel or a move.
Conversation is the progress
No points to collect. You move on when you can hold the next conversation.
Questions
Good to know.
Which languages can I learn?
Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic, from your very first words up to B1: comfortable everyday conversations, telling stories and giving your opinion.
I already know a bit. Do I start from zero?
No. A short check finds what you already know and skips it, so you start where you are.
Some languages use a different script. Is that a problem?
No. For Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic you choose how to read: the real script, Latin letters, or both side by side while you learn. Each has a short course to learn to read it, and Japanese shows the reading above every kanji.
Do I have to speak out loud?
Speaking is the point, so the tutor will ask you to. When you can't, you can type your answer instead.
Can I learn more than one language?
Yes. Each language keeps its own progress, and you can switch between them.
Do I need an account?
Yes. After a short setup you create one with an email code or Google, so your progress is safe and follows you to any device.
Your first conversation starts today.
Pick a language, answer a few questions, and say hello.
