Languate builds custom language practice sessions for speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with instant feedback for self-directed education. You pick a grammar point, vocabulary topic, or real scenario, then run exercises like read-aloud, sentence ordering, shadowing, and fill-in-the-blank. It supports English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese.

Most language apps train recognition by showing words and asking you to pick answers. Languate focuses on production: you speak and write original sentences from scratch. The founder built it to fill the gap between passive vocabulary from apps like Duolingo and the ability to hold a real conversation.

Self-study learners stuck at the intermediate wall are the target audience. Sessions run 10 to 15 minutes, fit a commute or coffee break, and you can clone community-shared plans or build your own from whatever you are studying that week.
