fluentgoal

Learn languages by recalling, not rereading.

fluentgoal shows you a sentence in your language and asks you to say it in the one you’re learning, before you see the answer. Nearly 6,000 everyday sentences with audio, in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German. No account, no ads, no tracking.

fluentgoal on Mac, with the sidebar of study modes: the Active Recall card asks for the English for “Está sobre la mesa.”, then reveals “It’s on the table.” The preview moves on through French (“Where’s Paris?” · “Où se trouve Paris ?”), Italian (“Are you ready?” · “Sei pronto?”), German (“It’s very important.” · “Es ist sehr wichtig.”) and Spanish (“Where are you from?” · “¿De dónde eres?”).

Why it works

Rereading feels familiar. Recalling makes it stick.

Trying to remember a sentence before you see it fixes it far better than reading it again. It’s one of the best-studied effects in the psychology of learning, known as retrieval practice.

Rereading only tells you a sentence sounds familiar. Speaking asks you to come up with it on your own. fluentgoal turns that into three habits: recall before you reveal, review what you missed, and speak out loud.

The app’s welcome tour: “A method backed by research”, with a chart where recalling stays high and rereading fades, above the three habits Recall, Review and Speak.

  1. Say it, don’t just recognize it.

    Going from your language to the one you’re learning makes you choose the words, the order and the structure yourself. That is what a conversation asks of you.

  2. Whole sentences, not word lists.

    Every item is a real, everyday sentence, so vocabulary, grammar and word order come together, and you keep phrases you can use as they are.

  3. From easy to hard.

    Nearly 6,000 sentences in order of difficulty, from very short beginner phrases to advanced ones. Each mode keeps its own range, so you can focus on a stretch or go back.

  4. You decide if you got it.

    There are many right ways to say something, so fluentgoal doesn’t mark you letter by letter. Comparing your attempt with the answer is where you learn.

Try it

Your turn.

Read each sentence, say it in the language shown, then reveal it. That small effort is the whole method. These four come from the free sentences of their courses.

  • Say it in Spanish

    Where are you from?

    RevealHide

    ¿De dónde eres?

  • Say it in French

    Where’s Paris?

    RevealHide

    Où se trouve Paris ?

  • Say it in Italian

    Are you ready?

    RevealHide

    Sei pronto?

  • Say it in German

    It’s very important.

    RevealHide

    Es ist sehr wichtig.

Active Recall

Read. Try. Check.

  1. Read

    fluentgoal shows a sentence in your language, numbered in order of difficulty.

  2. Try

    Say it out loud, think it or type it. What you type is only for you and is never saved.

  3. Check

    Tap Reveal, listen at normal or slow speed, and mark it Correct or Wrong yourself.

What you mark Wrong goes to Review and comes back until you get it right there. Reveal doesn’t play the audio on its own: you choose when to hear it.

Before revealing: the sentence in Spanish and a field to type the answer, which is optional.
After revealing: “It’s on the table.” in English, with Listen and Slow audio buttons, and Wrong and Correct buttons.

Four modes

One sentence, four ways in.

Show a study mode

The heart of the app. Read the sentence in your language, try to say it, reveal it and mark yourself. Star any sentence on the way.

Every sentence you mark wrong, from any day, waits here. It only leaves once you get it right in Review, so your mistakes become your own list to work on.

Hear each sentence and say it with the audio, copying its rhythm and intonation. Show the translation when you need it, or let Auto Play run.

Star the sentences you want to keep close and practice them on their own. Saving isn’t the same as getting it wrong, so Saved and Review stay separate.

Listen & Repeat

Keep listening, even with your iPhone locked.

Speaking a language also means training your ear and your voice. Hear each sentence, then say it with the audio or right after it, copying its rhythm and intonation. With Auto Play, each sentence plays one to five times, with the pauses you choose.

  • Keeps playing on a locked iPhone, controlled from the Lock Screen or your headphones
  • A male and a female voice in every language, and four in English
  • A slow speed that keeps the natural pitch
Listen & Repeat on iPhone: “It’s on the table.” with its Spanish translation, Auto Play, and Listen and Slow buttons. It then shows French, “Où se trouve Paris ?”, and German, “Es ist sehr wichtig.”, each with its English translation.

Five languages, 20 courses

Any language, from any other.

Pick the language you speak and the one you want to learn. Each pairing is its own course, with its own progress, Review, Saved sentences, statistics and voice, so you can follow more than one without mixing them up.

The same sentences in all five languages, in the same order.

More answers in Support

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to download the app and the audio for your course, and to use iCloud if you turn it on. After that, you study offline.

How much space does it take?

The app itself is small. Audio downloads per course: about 180 MB for a language with two voices, and about 345 MB for English, which has four.

What does the free version include?

The first 50 sentences of every course, with every mode and no time limit. Unlocking later keeps all your progress.

Is it a subscription?

No. Full fluentgoal is a one-time in-app purchase. It works on iPhone and Mac with the same Apple Account and supports Family Sharing.

Can I use it on iPhone and Mac together?

Yes. Turn on iCloud in Settings on each device, with the same Apple Account, and your progress follows you. The open course and screen stay specific to each device.

Does it correct my pronunciation?

No. fluentgoal doesn’t use the microphone. You listen, repeat, and decide whether you got it right.

Which devices does it run on?
