Features

Four things that work together

Reading gives you words, speaking brings them to life, reviewing makes them stick – and the Gabbies make sure you come back tomorrow.

Read

Texts at your level

Short dialogues, stories, and informative texts on topics you care about – from A1 to advanced levels. Tap a word and you get a translation and an explanation in your language.

  • Tap a word, understand it, and add it to your cards with one tap
  • Questions about the text show you whether you understood everything
  • Import your own texts and turn them into a lesson (Plus and Pro)

Speak

Role-plays with AI

Order at a café, check in at a hotel, do a job interview: you speak or type, your conversation partner answers – and you get gentle corrections. Nobody is listening, nobody is waiting impatiently.

  • Six everyday scenes, from small talk to the airport
  • Speak into the microphone or simply type
  • With Pro: pronunciation scoring, where it is available for the language

Review

Flashcards with a system

Words from your texts end up on cards. The app shows them to you again at growing intervals – just before you forget them. That way, a few minutes a day are enough.

  • Spaced repetition: difficult words come up more often, familiar ones less often
  • You rate for yourself how well you knew a word
  • Your progress shows study time, days in a row, and words you know well

Gabbies that hatch from eggs

Every minute you learn warms your egg. Once it is warm enough, a Gabbie hatches – one of 24 characters for your collection. No pressure, no penalties: just a good reason to learn for a few minutes today.

  • 24 characters, from Okto to Croissi
  • Study time counts – whether you read, speak, or review
  • Reminders if you want them – they are created right on your device
How it works

Four steps to your first conversation

  1. Choose a language and level

    Pick one of the eight languages. A short placement test finds your level – or you start from scratch.

  2. Read and collect words

    Read a text on your topics. The words you tap become cards.

  3. Practice speaking

    Start a role-play and answer with the microphone or the keyboard. The AI stays patient and corrects you gently.

  4. Review and warm your egg

    A few cards a day keep your words fresh. Your study time warms the egg until the next Gabbie hatches.

Frequently asked questions

What is Gabbies?

Gabbies is a language-learning app for adults and older teens. You read texts at your level, practice conversations in role-plays with AI, review words with flashcards, and collect characters along the way – the Gabbies.

Which languages can I learn?

English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Polish. The same eight languages are also available as the app language, in which you get translations and explanations.

Is Gabbies free?

Getting started is free: one new text per day, one language to learn, 1 conversation per week (up to 5 minutes), 20 new word explanations per day, plus flashcards, the placement test, and the Gabbies. With the Plus and Pro subscriptions you get more texts, all languages, and more conversation time.

Do I need any prior knowledge?

No. You can start from scratch and learn the most important words first. If you already know some of the language, a short placement test finds your level so that texts and conversations suit you.

How do the AI conversations work?

You choose a scene, for example “At the café,” and speak or type your answers. Your conversation partner responds and corrects you gently. The answers are generated by AI; they may contain mistakes and are no substitute for lessons with a teacher.

What are the Gabbies?

Gabbies are 24 characters to collect. You get an egg, and every minute you learn warms it. Once it is warm enough, a character hatches and moves into your collection.

What happens to my voice recordings?

Voice recordings are processed only for speech recognition and pronunciation scoring and are not stored. Gabbies works without ads, tracking, or analytics services. You will find the details in the privacy policy.
