Langotalk is a personal AI language tutor available on the web, iOS and Android. It provides speaking, listening and reading practice through conversations that adapt to the learner’s level. The tutor reviews grammar, pronunciation and fluency, then uses vocabulary, weak spots and goals to shape later sessions. Langotalk says it remembers sessions, mistakes and progress between conversations, tracks recurring errors and revisits them in future practice. More than 20 languages are offered, including Spanish, French, Japanese and Arabic. The service invites users to start free, offers a 7-day trial and says account creation takes under two minutes. There is no human tutoring. The privacy notice says personal information may be processed to provide, improve and administer the service, and retained as needed for stated purposes subject to legal requirements. Google Play says the Android app encrypts data in transit and accepts deletion requests; it may collect personal information and device IDs and share device or other IDs.
