Salgo del turno de noche, directa a la playa. Off the night shift, straight to the beach.
¿Qué tal la cena del sábado con tu familia? How was Saturday's dinner with your family?
Me dejaste con la intriga. You left me curious.
Hoy un paciente me ha pedido matrimonio. Today a patient proposed to me.
Tiene noventa y dos años. Me lo pienso. He's ninety-two. I'm thinking it over.
¿Y tu examen de conducir, qué tal? And your driving test, how did it go?
Yo gusto mucho la paella.
¿Te gusta mucho la paella? You really like paella?
Pues has dado con la persona adecuada. Then you've found the right person.
La de mi madre en Alzira es la mejor. My mum's in Alzira is the best.
Esta semana, cuatro días. This week, four days.
El jueves, el indefinido sin dudar. On Thursday, the preterite without hesitating.

An example from a week of Italian, not a real learner's week
Ho guardato la tua settimana. Quattro giorni insieme, e martedì mi hai raccontato del mercato con frasi più lunghe del solito. Le melanzane te le ricordi ancora? Le hai usate giovedì senza chiedere. Due cose su cui lavorare, poi ti lascio in pace.

The same message from Lucía, written for three levels.
Hoy salgo del trabajo a las ocho de la mañana. Voy a la playa. Luego duermo. ¿Te gusta el mar?
Today I finish work at eight in the morning. I go to the beach. Then I sleep. Do you like the sea?
Hoy he salido del último turno de noche y me he ido directa a la playa del Cabanyal. Un café, el mar y a dormir. ¿Tú qué haces para desconectar?
Today I came off my last night shift and went straight to the beach at El Cabanyal. A coffee, the sea and off to sleep. What do you do to switch off?
Acabo de terminar la última de tres noches seguidas y, en vez de irme a casa como una persona sensata, me he plantado en la playa del Cabanyal a ver amanecer con un café en la mano. Ya dormiré. ¿Tú también tienes alguna manía para desconectar?
I've just finished the last of three night shifts in a row and, instead of going home like a sensible person, I've planted myself on the beach at El Cabanyal to watch the sunrise with a coffee in my hand. I'll sleep later. Do you have a little ritual for switching off too?

No. Every companion is an AI and says so in its first message. They have consistent lives, opinions and moods, and they remember what you tell them, but they are not people.
No. It adds a daily conversation beside them. Keep them.
You can already hold a simple conversation in the language, roughly A2 and up. Companions shorten their sentences to match you. Complete beginners: not yet.
Inside the conversation, the way a friend would rephrase what you said. At most two patterns a week are raised, and Sunday's letter summarises them.
Days you talked, minutes, new words, words that came back, sentence length, your level, and the two patterns to work on. One letter per language, plus a PDF.
It is already on your phone and your desktop, voice notes work well, and there is nothing new to install.
No. You choose when a companion may write, and you answer when you can. Quiet weeks are allowed.
Yes. Voice notes both ways.
Your messages build a companion's memory of you, nothing else. From one settings page you can download what your companions know, make them forget, or delete everything.
14 euro a month or 99 euro a year, VAT included, after a free week with no card. Pause for two or four weeks, or cancel, from one screen. No email, no call.
Italian, German, Spanish, English and French. Missing yours? Tell us which language you'd like to practice when you start your free week, and we write to you the day it opens.
Yes, in one language or in several. One subscription covers every companion in every language, and each companion has its own settings.
