Learn a language with AI: chat with a free teacher

To learn a language with AI is to have a teacher available at any hour, one who never tires of your questions and who corrects every sentence while explaining why. Yiaho offers eleven free language teachers, with no sign-up: English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and Russian, plus five regional languages that almost no app teaches, Corsican, Alsatian, Breton, Basque and Catalan. A multilingual translator completes the set for the days when you only need to understand.

Each teacher is a specialized AI, with instructions written by Yiaho: it matches its level to yours, suggests exercises, corrects your mistakes and explains the rule behind them. The most recent teachers run on GPT-5.6 Luna, an OpenAI model that is comfortable even in rare languages.

How to learn a language with AI on Yiaho

Pick your language in the gallery, then write to the teacher, in the language you are learning or in English if you are starting from zero. Tell it your level and your goal: a trip, an exam, a job interview, a conversation with family. It will offer a dialogue, an exercise or an explanation. Write your answers, mistakes included: getting them corrected is exactly how you make progress. Ask it to slow down, to translate a word, to run an exercise again or to quiz you on the previous lesson.

To get the most out of the method, aim for ten minutes a day rather than one hour a week, and alternate: one day of free conversation, one day of grammar, one day of vocabulary around a theme you care about. The teacher remembers what you covered during the conversation and can build the next step on top of it, which is what makes a lesson feel like a real course rather than a series of unrelated questions.

Which language should you learn with AI?

The English teacher is the most requested, from absolute beginner to preparing an interview in English, and it works just as well as a patient writing coach. The Spanish teacher and the Italian teacher are perfect before a trip, when you want to order, ask for directions and understand the answer. The German teacher helps you tame the cases, the Portuguese teacher tells apart the Portuguese of Portugal and of Brazil, and the Russian teacher starts you off with the Cyrillic alphabet.

Regional languages are a specialty of Yiaho, and they are rare on the usual language apps: learn Corsican or Alsatian with a teacher who also explains the culture, the local expressions and the way a phrase is really used, not only the dictionary version of it.

What an AI does well, and what it does not replace

An AI is excellent for written practice, correction, grammar and vocabulary, and it never judges you, which matters more than people admit. It does not replace pronunciation practice with a speaker, and it does not replace immersion. Like any AI, it can be wrong about a nuance or a rare expression, especially in regional languages: check what counts with a dictionary or a native speaker. To translate a text without learning anything, use the multilingual translator instead.
