Say hola to a new language in EF Hello, where you’ll follow tested-and-proven curriculums based on more than 50 years of teaching. Hundreds of lessons sorted by topics, all to be taken at our own pace? Bien sûr.

What we love: Learning with EF Hello is almost like having a private tutor. You can pick a lesson based on the content and how much time it will take, or let the app’s AI-driven chatbot tailor one for you. With level-appropriate vocabulary, grammar rules and a focus on versatile must-learn expressions, your chats will actually feel more like in-class conversations.

Quick tip: Compare your pronunciation of a word or sentence to the recording of a native speaker. The app will then give you clear and immediate feedback to help you adjust your speech.
