About Language First
Build real English exam skills with focused practice and clear, honest feedback. Language First gives you everything you need to prepare for the exam in one calm, well-made app, and it tells you where you stand with indicative band scores to guide your study. Practice all four skills Work through tests across Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Listen to real audio, read full passages, prepare and type your essays, and speak your answers out loud. Every skill has its own dedicated tests so you can put your time where you need it most. Indicative AI band scores on Writing and Speaking Submit a Writing task and get an indicative band estimate with feedback in minutes. Record a Speaking answer and get feedback on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. These scores are estimated by AI to guide your practice. They are indicative only, not official results, and they help you see your progress and fix the gaps before exam day. Full mock tests Sit complete mock tests across all four skills under timed, exam-style conditions. Get used to the pace and pressure of the real thing so nothing surprises you on the day. Vocabulary and pronunciation games Learn faster with quick, playful games that build the vocabulary and pronunciation the exam rewards. A daily challenge and a streak keep you coming back, and a one-tap "Surprise me" drops you straight into a random game when you have five minutes spare. Track your progress See your best overall band, your latest score per skill, your streak, and your XP at a glance. Watch your numbers climb as you practise and always know what to work on next. Explore the app, upgrade when you are ready Browse the learning experience before upgrading. Premium unlocks: all practice tests in every skill, all full mock tests, AI band scores on every Writing and Speaking test, and every vocabulary and pronunciation game.

What’s new
Version 1.7.0 · Updated September 1, 2026
Getting into the app is much simpler in this version. SIGN IN FIRST The app now opens on the sign in screen, so coming back takes one tap. Creating an account signs you in straight away, with no confirmation email to wait for. PASSWORD RESET THAT WORKS Forgotten your password? The reset link now takes you to a page where you set a new one, then you come straight back and sign in. CLEARER WAITING Opening a test now tells you it is getting ready instead of showing empty boxes, and listening audio starts loading sooner so it plays faster. FIXES Premium members no longer briefly see a Free label on Test 1, and tapping a locked item while your membership is still loading no longer opens the upgrade screen by mistake. We also removed two setup questions that were not helping anyone.
