French · Italian · Spanish · German

Learn a language by living it.

You land in Paris. You clear customs, find your hotel, and by tonight you are ordering in French. Not from a word list. From the moment itself, with locals who talk back.

Free to learn. Eleven stories, ninety-three scenes, three live conversations a day on the free plan.

How it works

One real situation at a time

Each scene is five minutes of lesson and one conversation you will actually have on the trip.

1

Pick a story

Paris, Rome, Madrid, Berlin, a nonna’s lunch, a mystery in Montmartre. Every scene is illustrated and voiced by native speakers.

2

Learn the words that moment needs

Hear the word, match it, build the sentence, listen and choose. Five or six words, never a list.

3

Prove it in conversation

Talk to the character. They understand imperfect French, answer in character, and hand your sentence back the way a local would say it.

Stories, not word lists

Eleven stories. Ninety-three scenes.

A week in each city, from the airport to a candlelit dinner. Plus the stories a trip does not give you.

Also in German: Berlin, Der Termin, Das WG-Casting and Der Zug fällt aus, real German life, bureaucracy and all. And L’École de Langue, your first day at a French school in Lyon.

Characters who talk back

Say it wrong. Hear it right.

Officier Moreau at passport control. A baker in the Marais. A nonna in Bologna. They are live AI characters who understand imperfect French, Italian, Spanish or German, reply in character, and correct you gently. Speak or type, your choice.

  • Every reply you give comes back polished the way a local would say it
  • Tap any word in a reply for its meaning
  • Stuck? Ask for a hint and see what you could say
Officier Moreau
Bonjour. Votre passeport, s’il vous plaît.
You
Voici mon passeport monsieur, je avoir tout les documents
Officier Moreau
Merci. Quel est le motif de votre visite ?

Your own phrasebook

Every sentence you say, kept

Everything you say in a conversation is saved, polished and spoken back to you. Not someone else’s phrases. Yours, from the moments you actually lived.

Voici mon passeport, monsieur, j’ai tous les documents.Here is my passport, sir, I have all the documents.
Je voudrais un croissant et un café, s’il vous plaît.I would like a croissant and a coffee, please.
Est-ce que le petit-déjeuner est inclus ?Is breakfast included?
Spaced repetition, disguised

The dragon that hoards your words

The dragon takes the words you have learned. You win them back by remembering them. It knows exactly which ones you are about to forget, so review feels like a boss fight instead of homework.

Five minutes a day is enough

Daily quests, streaks, and a friend walking the journey with you. Invite someone and you both earn rewards when they finish their first scene. The app is designed so that five minutes is a pleasure, not a chore.

Questions

Good to know before you land

Which languages can I learn?

French, Italian, Spanish and German. Each language has its own stories, characters and native-speaker voices. More cities are on the way.

I am a complete beginner. Is Abilon for me?

Yes. Every scene starts with the five or six words that moment needs, and a short placement chat finds your level in two minutes. Already know a chapter? Test out of it and move on.

Do I have to speak out loud?

No. Every conversation works by typing too. When you do speak, the app listens on your device and the character answers what you actually said.

What does it cost?

Every lesson, story and scene is free, always. Live AI conversations use daily energy: three a day on the free plan. Abilon Plus raises that to six or twelve a day for people who want to talk more. It is managed through the App Store or Google Play and you can cancel any time.

Does it work offline?

Lessons, stories and audio are on your phone, so you can learn on a plane. Live conversations need a connection because a character is answering you in real time.

How is this different from a flashcard app?

You never study a list. You live a situation: passport control, a bakery, a dinner with a nonna who will not take no for an answer. The words you learn are the ones that moment needs, and you prove them in a conversation right away. The dragon then brings back exactly the words you are about to forget.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from inside the app: Profile, then Delete account. Your data is removed. The steps are also on the account deletion page.

Your first scene takes five minutes.
