Learn a language the way you learned your first.

Flexling is a language learning app built around real sentences and spaced repetition — the same algorithm as Anki. Unlike traditional apps, you can learn hands-free while commuting, exercising, or doing chores with Shadowing.

It also lets you add your own content, so you learn the sentences you actually care about.

Flexling gives you three ways to learn the same sentences: Shadowing, Writing, and Radio.

With Shadowing, you hear a sentence in a language you already know, get a moment to translate it in your head, then hear and say the target sentence aloud — hands-free if you like.

With Writing, you type and get a character-level spelling diff, then an AI tutor that grades meaning. Valid other wording is saved as an accepted answer. Translate a sentence you hear in your language, or transcribe exactly what you hear in the target language to train listening comprehension. Radio simply plays sentences and their translations in the background for passive listening.

What makes Flexling special is that if you don't understand a sentence or have any question, you can ask the AI — like "How can I say this more politely?" or "Give me 3 more examples with this verb in a different tense." — and it automatically creates new flashcards with audio for you.

Note: We generate natural-sounding audio using state of the art text-to-speech technology.

Yes, in three ways: type them in one at a time, bulk-import from a CSV, TSV, or pasted spreadsheet (Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets), or ask the AI to create them through chat.

For bulk import you just map the columns in your file to your course languages and Flexling handles the rest — audio and metadata are generated automatically.

Fluency depends on many factors: the language, your native language, daily practice time, and learning methods.

The goal of Flexling is to give you all the tools you need to learn it as fast as possible. For instance Flexling teaches you new words in the order they appear most commonly. This way you can become fluent faster in more contexts because you learn the most frequent words first.

However, Flexling is not a full language course but rather the most efficient companion to one. If you already know the basic grammar or are currently doing a course, Flexling is likely the right app for you.

You can learn the following languages in Flexling: English, Spanish (Spain, Latin America, and a mixed Spain + Latin America variant), Catalan, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Danish, Icelandic, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Greek, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Hebrew, Turkish, Persian, Arabic (Modern Standard plus Saudi, Egyptian, Iraqi, and Levantine dialects), Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Cantonese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese (Northern and Southern), Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, and Swahili (Kenya and Tanzania) — with more languages being added regularly.

Is your language not supported? Let us know and we will try to prioritize it.

Running AI models for voice generation and intelligent tutoring has ongoing costs. You can try it for free and see if it works for you.

Users have reported that it saves them a lot of time because they no longer have to learn things they don't find important, Flexling makes creating flashcards way easier and because they can learn on the go.

Flexling offers a free tier so you can try it. Unfortunately, we cannot offer it completely free as we have to cover our running costs. If you need higher limits you can upgrade to our Basic or Pro plans.

A lot of our sentences are from Tatoeba's massive dataset, released under a CC-BY License.

Some of the sentences have been created by us.

You can install Flexling as a Web App right now! This gives you an app-like experience and home screen access. We're also working on native iOS and Android apps that will be available in the app stores soon.
