OpenLanguage pairs a capable AI tutor with voice I/O so you can practice speaking and listening the way you actually learn a language — by using it.

The tutor adapts to your level, corrects you naturally mid-conversation, and never gets tired of your questions. Pre-made conversation topics for every level make jumping in a breeze.

Free and Open Source: No accounts required, no subscription.** Bring Your Own Keys**: Plug in your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or any compatible provider. You pick the model and pay only for what you use.Zero Telemetry: No analytics. No tracking. Your conversations stay on your device and between you and whichever API provider you configure.Voice I/O: Uses iOS's built in voice recognition and speech to text for free, on-device voice I/O.

OpenLanguage is built with Expo / React Native, using only native SwiftUI components via expo-ui.

AI APIs currently supported:

  • OpenAI / OpenAI compatible
  • Anthropic
  • OpenRouter
  • OpenResponses
  • DeepSeek
  • Fireworks
  • Groq
  • Mistral
  • Moonshot
  • TogetherAI
  • Zhipu AI (Z.AI)
  • MiniMax

Under the hood we use ai-sdk, so extra providers are easily added.

  • pnpm
  • Xcode

Issues and pull requests are welcome.

OpenLanguage is available under the MIT License.
