Speak French with Léa. She corrects you in English.
By continuing, you accept the terms and the privacy policy of Palique.
You speak, you make mistakes, you learn. Léa takes care of the rest.
You say something out loud and Léa answers with her voice. If you make a mistake, you see how to say it and why, explained in your language.
Léa saves every mistake you make and builds exercises from them. Get it right and she celebrates; get it wrong and she explains why.
From your very first hello to debating at B2. Your line is already written: you just read it aloud.
"I don't know what to say" suggests three replies with their translation, and the Translator turns what you want to say into your level.
Your streak, your daily goal and your achievements: sentences spoken, conversations and mistakes you no longer make.
The hardest part of a language is not the grammar: it is daring to speak. With Léa you can get stuck, repeat yourself and get it wrong as many times as you need. No one is watching.
People who get nervous using the language tend to learn worse. 97 studies with nearly 20,000 people found this. It is a correlation: it does not prove one causes the other.
Teimouri, Goetze & Plonsky (2019)In 16 studies, people who practiced by talking with a program improved their speaking more than those who did not.
Hou & Min (2025)In 15 classroom studies with 827 learners, those who were corrected while speaking improved more than those who were not.
Lyster & Saito (2010)A meta-analysis combines the results of many studies. These studies did not evaluate this app.
«I am building Palique so that practicing a language by speaking is easy, affordable and free of embarrassment. If something breaks or you have an idea, I would love to hear it.»

No. Léa is an AI trained to help you speak without fear: a character made so you can practice without embarrassment. She talks with you, corrects you and explains, but she can make mistakes. If something seems off, double-check it.
Duolingo teaches with short exercises; Palique is for getting you to speak: you talk out loud with Léa about real situations. And unlike a general chat like ChatGPT, Léa is built for learning: she talks at your level, marks every mistake in your own sentence, explains it in English, saves it and builds exercises from it. Her instructions were tested with hundreds of typical learner sentences.
Getting started is free and asks for no card. Pro will cost US$6.99 a month, but it is not on sale yet: nothing is charged today.
With the app in English you learn French. In Spanish you can also learn English (US); each language keeps its own level and mistakes.
We don't store your voice or your full conversations: only your mistakes, so you can review them. We don't sell your data and there are no ads. You can delete your account and everything of yours whenever you want. The details are in the privacy notice.
Yes: Palique has an iPhone app and an Android app, and they'll be on the App Store and Google Play very soon (leave your email at the bottom and we'll let you know). Meanwhile, you can use it here, in your computer's or phone's browser: it's the same app, with your progress saved to your account.
None: there is a "Starting from scratch" level, where Léa uses two- to five-word sentences and you always see the translation under what she says. When you feel comfortable, you move up to B2.
In English. The conversation is in French, and every correction comes with a short explanation.
No. Léa corrects grammar and vocabulary. Speech recognition tends to write the right word even if you only half pronounce it, so pronunciation cannot be judged reliably.
Both. You can switch between speaking and typing at any time; when you type, spelling is checked too.
A computer with Chrome or Edge and a microphone. Headphones help it understand you better.
Free, no card, from zero. Léa is ready to say hi.
A message is each sentence you send; Léa's reply is included.
Starting is free. With Pro, Léa really talks with you, about anything you like.
Every chat message and every reply with the realistic voice has a cost. The limits are what keeps this price possible.
You can always see how much you've used, and we warn you when you're about to reach the limit.
Palique is a project in development. Pro is not on sale yet and you will not be charged anything.
