100 words

Erla is a mobile language-learning app that teaches the way people learn their first language: by understanding before speaking. Learners listen to short tasks voiced by native AI voices, read short stories with read-along audio and watch short videos, tapping any sentence for a translation and an explanation. When they are ready, they talk it through with an AI teacher in roleplays and discussions. Erla ships as 22 separate apps, one per learning language, on iOS and Android, with the interface in 35 languages and four levels from complete beginner (From Zero) to Advanced. A free plan includes daily practice; PRO adds conversations and unlimited practice.

Milestones

Product Hunt launch

Erla launched on Product Hunt on 26 December 2025 and finished #5 of the day.

8.0 — a new Chat and Talk teacher

A teacher with a name and a face, roleplays, Read & Discuss, gentle corrections and asking the teacher in your own language.

8.1 — Grammar path and achievements

Grammar as a learning path, one pattern at a time, and all 50 achievements in one collection.

8.2 — a friendlier start

Onboarding builds the learner's first week: goals, lessons, practice days and time.

9.0 — From Zero (October 2026)

A new level for complete beginners: tiny lessons, short stories and slower conversations.

Story ideas

Comprehension first

Why Erla has learners listen, read and watch before they talk — and keeps grammar on demand instead of up front.

AI conversation teachers

What an AI teacher does well for learners — roleplays, gentle corrections, answers in your own language — and what it doesn't do.

Small and underserved languages

One app per language means Serbian, Greek, Slovak or Danish learners get an app built for their language, not a menu item.

Starting from zero

The From Zero level, for adults who don't know a single word of the language yet.

Five Ways to Practice a Language with AI

Hear Real Speech

Hear real sentences with natural pronunciation. Try to catch the meaning before revealing any text. This is how your brain builds real listening comprehension — the skill most apps never train.

Read Real Stories

Read short, engaging stories — from fairy tales to science facts. New words stick because you absorb them in context, not from a flashcard deck. Tap any sentence for a full breakdown.

Watch. Then Check.

Short videos play without subtitles first, forcing your brain to process the language in real time. On the second play, text appears to confirm what you caught. Swipe through like a feed.

Chat Without Fear

Chat with an AI tutor who adapts to your level, guides the conversation, and never judges your mistakes. When you're done, get a detailed report on your strengths, weak spots, and grammar.

Speak Out Loud

Practice real voice conversations with an AI teacher who listens, responds in real time, and replays any line slowly when you need it. Like a private tutor — available anytime, no booking needed.

Save Every Word Worth Keeping

See a word you want to remember? Add it to your Vocabulary Wallet with one tap — from any lesson, in any mode. Each saved word comes with a simple explanation in your target language, real meanings, and audio, all stored right on your device.

Turn Saved Words Into Words You Know

Your wallet isn't a list you forget — it's a practice deck. Every word climbs from "I've seen it," to multiple choice, to spelling it from memory. Get it wrong and it comes back; get it right and it graduates to Done.
