Lyrin is an AI tutor you talk to out loud. It listens and corrects your pronunciation and grammar as you go. You don't need to know a single word to start, and your first week is free.

“Long term Duolingo user here, I really like the way they structured their lectures, and the voice inputs feel like they’re being recognized better so I feel like I’m really improving on my pronunciations.”
You can know every word on a flashcard and still freeze when someone talks to you. The only fix is talking, a lot, with someone who corrects you as you go. Lyrin is that someone, whenever you've got ten minutes.
Ordering dinner, seeing a doctor, renting a place. Pick a scene, or make up your own.
Every conversation ends with a grade for fluency, grammar and vocabulary. Tap one and Lyrin tells you what went well, what didn't, and the exact phrase to try next time.
Go ahead, tap a grade.

Lessons for every level, a streak that keeps you honest, and new words that stay learned.
Lyrin figures out your level and bumps the difficulty as you get better, so it's never boring and never over your head.
Learn essential words and phrases for daily life
Build conversational skills for real situations
Express opinions and handle complex conversations
Master professional and academic conversations
Set a daily goal, keep your streak alive, and see how many words you've said out loud.
Every word you pick up in a conversation is saved automatically, along with the sentence you learned it in. Lyrin brings it back for review right before you'd forget it.
Yes. You can start from your very first hello. Tell Lyrin your level and what you want out of it, and it builds a path from there: greetings, numbers, everyday phrases, all learned by saying them out loud in short guided conversations. No grammar tables to memorize.
Sessions start short and easy, and only get harder as you're ready. By the end of the beginner lessons you'll be able to introduce yourself, order food, and hold your own in basic exchanges out loud.
Most apps have you tap, match, and type. That builds recognition, but you can keep a streak going for a year and still go blank the first time someone talks back. Lyrin has you speaking out loud from your first session. The tutor listens, corrects your pronunciation and grammar on the spot, and adjusts to your level.
You practice the conversations you'll have in real life: ordering food, meeting someone new, a job interview. Speaking with someone who corrects you as you go is simply a faster way to learn to speak, which is why people move faster with Lyrin than with drill-based apps.
Yes. Skip ahead to the faster roleplays: renting an apartment, a therapy session, a philosophy discussion, all at native speed and entirely in the language you're learning. Or write your own scenario for the exact situation you're preparing for.
After every conversation you get a grade for fluency, grammar and vocabulary, plus specific notes on word choice, tone and delivery. It's the kind of feedback you'd get from a private tutor, except it's there whenever you are.
Your first 7 days are free. That's the whole app: the full lesson path, all the roleplays, custom scenarios, vocabulary reviews, and feedback on every session.
After the week it's a subscription, billed through the App Store or Google Play. Cancel there before the trial ends and you won't be charged, same as any other app.
Lyrin records your voice so it can hear what you said and give you feedback: corrections, transcripts, grades. Recordings are processed securely and kept only as long as needed to run and improve the service. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
"I've tried tons of different apps that are helpful for vocabulary but not for speaking and listening. Love that this app focuses on actually learning how to speak Chinese instead of just rote memorization."
"Closest you can get to actually living in China and real language immersion. But even better, because you can analyze your conversations and improve any time you want."
"Extremely effective at rapidly improving listening and speaking skills. The AI responds naturally and adapts to your level, making interactions feel smooth and intuitive. It switches seamlessly between English and Chinese, much like working with a real tutor. Well worth the investment for anyone serious about learning quickly."
"The best app I've used to practice speaking Chinese! I've made a ton of progress the past couple weeks, love being able to practice all different sorts of roleplays. Highly recommend for people learning Mandarin!"
Download it and say hello. It takes five minutes, and there's no one to be embarrassed in front of.
