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 Mateo, written for three levels.
Los martes subo en bici a las cinco de la mañana. Subo con mis amigos. Después abro el taller. ¿Tú montas en bici?
On Tuesdays I ride up the hills at five in the morning. I ride with my friends. Then I open the workshop. Do you ride a bike?
Hoy subimos a Patios a las cinco de la mañana con el grupo del Mono. Hacía frío, pero la vista de Bogotá desde arriba vale la pena. ¿Tú haces algún deporte temprano?
Today we rode up to Patios at five in the morning with Mono's group. It was cold, but the view of Bogotá from the top is worth it. Do you do any sport early in the morning?
Esta madrugada subimos a Patios con el grupo del Mono y, aunque las piernas me pedían quedarme en la cama, la neblina sobre la ciudad a esa hora compensa cualquier sacrificio. Llegué al taller a las nueve, cansado pero contento. ¿Qué es lo que más te cuesta dejar por la mañana?
Early this morning we rode up to Patios with Mono's group and, although my legs were begging me to stay in bed, the mist over the city at that hour makes up for any sacrifice. I got to the workshop at nine, tired but happy. What's the hardest thing for you to leave behind in the morning?
Parla gives you someone to practice a language with every day, so you don't forget what you've worked so hard to learn.

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.
Free week. No card.
