Dubashi Learn

Most language apps teach you in English. Dubashi Learn teaches you in whatever language you think in.

If you speak Spanish and want Korean, you learn Korean explained in Spanish. If you speak Hindi and want Japanese, you learn Japanese explained in Hindi. If you speak Telugu and want Tamil, you learn Tamil explained in Telugu.

And if English is the language you think in, you learn in English. The explanations meet you where you already are, instead of making you translate twice in your head.

Speak from the first lesson

You practise by talking. Sara, your coach, sets up a scene — meeting a neighbour, ordering food, asking for directions — and you speak your way through it. She replies in the language you're learning, adjusts to how you're doing, and stays in character.

Never stuck for what to say

When you don't know how to say something, say it in your own language. Sara gives you a Dialogue Prompt: what you wanted to say, in the language you're learning, laid out so you can actually use it —

the sentence in the target script
the same sentence in Roman letters, so you can read it
how it sounds, written in your own script
what it means in your language
and that meaning in Roman letters

Read it, replay the audio as many times as you need, and say it back when you're ready. Nobody rushes you.

Your pace, not the app's

No streaks. No timers. No penalties for stopping. Conversation moves when you move it — read the card twice, or ten times, then speak.

Practice that stays with you

Every scene you complete is saved to your phone. Come back to it, replay any line, work through the phrases again. What you struggled with becomes what you review.

Foundations first

Before the conversations, Foundations shows how your language maps onto the one you're learning — what's similar, what isn't, and the specific places speakers of your language tend to trip. Not generic grammar. The differences that actually matter between your two languages.

Built for the way people really learn

Pronunciation support in both Roman letters and your own script. Meaning shown in your language, not guessed at. Help available in your language, whenever you want it.

Dubashi Learn is for anyone learning a language properly — professionals, enthusiasts, families keeping a language alive across generations, partners learning each other's. Wherever you're starting from, you start in a language you already know.

New language pairs are added regularly. If yours isn't there yet, ask for it.
