Language Lab — language learning for immigrants and people moving abroadLanguage Lab is the AI language app built for the move. Learn the language, handle the bureaucracy, and live like a local from day one.Built for relocation, not tourismMost language apps teach you to order coffee. Language Lab teaches the language you actually need when you move: talking to landlords, doctors, banks, and government offices like the German Anmeldung and Bürgeramt — from day one.Meet Sonia — your AI language bestieSonia is a live, voice-first AI tutor. She holds real conversations, corrects you in context instead of from a textbook, remembers the mistakes you keep making, and adapts to how you actually speak. With Bestie Mode she drops the teacher act — she roasts you, hypes you up, and chats casually in your target language, so practice feels like texting a friend.Street Smart scenariosOver 100 playable, voiced real-life scenarios per language — opening a bank account, renting an apartment, doctor visits, registration offices — so you make the mistakes in the game, not at the bank.50 languagesGerman, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Hindi.Coming soon — join the beta at language-lab.io.
