Learn a language
the way the
professionals do.
Envoy is a language-learning app that teaches you the way diplomats do — comprehensible-input lessons pitched just above your level, spaced repetition that catches you right before you forget, and daily speaking with an AI tutor graded on the FSI hour-ladder.
Tagalog begins, almost always, with warmth. The first word most learners meet — kumusta — came from Spanish, worn smooth by four centuries of Filipino mouths…
16 full courses — including three Philippine languages you won't find anywhere else.
Not gamified. Engineered.
Every feature is drawn from how the U.S. Foreign Service actually trains diplomats to operational fluency — rebuilt for your phone.
Comprehensible input
Story-driven lessons pitched at "i+1" — just one step past what you know, so meaning sticks without translation drills.
Spaced repetition
An SRS engine resurfaces each word the moment before you'd forget it. Nothing you learn quietly slips away.
Daily speaking tutor
Talk out loud with an AI tutor that adapts to your level, corrects gently, and never makes you feel stupid.
Honest FSI progress
No cartoon streaks. You see real hours logged against the same fluency ladder governments use to certify officers.
Live two-way translator
Field Mode turns your phone into an interpreter — speak, and it speaks back in a natural voice. Built for real trips.
Works offline
Lessons, reviews and your phrasebook all work on a plane or in a dead zone. Progress syncs the moment you're back.
Scenario roleplay
Step into a café, a market, a job interview — your AI tutor plays the part in-language while you work toward a real goal. Practice by doing, not drilling.
Speak from day one
Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Arabic and more show a romanized pronunciation on every line — say it out loud without first learning the writing system.
Real certificates
Reach a CEFR level and earn a shareable, verifiable certificate of your progress — save it as an image or a print-ready PDF.
Four moves, every day.
Fifteen honest minutes beats an hour you'll never repeat. Here's the loop that compounds.
Absorb
Read and hear a short scene you can almost fully understand. Tap any word for its meaning.
Speak
Say it back to your tutor — or step into a full scene and roleplay it. Output is where passive knowledge becomes real fluency.
Review
Clear your due cards. The algorithm decides what you see, timed to your memory.
Track
Watch real hours climb the CEFR ladder toward a date with fluency you can actually plan around.
A Kindle on steroids for a language.
Beyond lessons — sit back and read a whole book in your target language. Graded from your first hello to midnight philosophy, with the pronunciation right there on every line.
- Read cover to cover. Warm, story-driven prose carries you A1 → C1 — culture, grammar and nuance woven into the narrative, not drilled.
- Say it right. Every phrase shows an English-phonetic pronunciation, so you always know how it actually sounds.
- Hear every line. Tap any sentence to play it in a natural voice.
- Save as you read. Bookmark phrases straight into your spaced-repetition phrasebook.
When will you be fluent?
Most apps hide the timeline. We'll show you the real one — anchored to FSI research on how long each language actually takes.
Estimates use FSI category hours to ILR-3 (≈ CEFR B2/C1) and your chosen daily pace. Your real mileage depends on consistency — which is exactly what Envoy is built to protect.
Tagalog, Cebuano & Kapampangan — done properly.
The languages of the Philippines are barely covered by the big apps. Envoy ships full courses with native audio, cultural notes, and the real phrases you'll use in a palengke, a jeepney, or your in-laws' kitchen.
