What makes it different

• It starts from the alphabet, in your own language. Every one of the 57 languages opens with alphabet lessons that explain each letter and sound in the learner's own language, with audio, example words and a quiz. Alphabet Lessons
• One practice loop, not one exercise type. Reading supplies words, the personal dictionary keeps them, spaced repetition brings them back, and speaking and conversation make the learner use them.
• Feedback specific enough to act on. Pronunciation is scored from 0 to 100 with notes on individual vowels and consonants, stress, rhythm and fluency. Speaking Practice
• Lessons written on request. Premium learners describe a topic, a situation or the words they need and get a story, a vocabulary lesson, a teleprompter script or a role-play at their level. Create Your Own Lessons
• Less-served languages get the same depth. Telugu, Kannada, Swahili, Welsh, Maori and Latvian get the same features as Spanish or French.
• Honest about its limits. It is not an offline app and not a human tutor, and the comparison pages say where other apps do better.

Writing about NativePal

• Spelling: NativePal, one word. Not "Native Pal" or "Nativepal".
• Link: nativepal.app. NativePal's only website is nativepal.app, and its only apps are the iOS and Android apps published by Darja Orlova. Other sites or apps with a similar name are not connected to NativePal.
• Prices: Please do not quote a price. Premium is priced per region, so any figure is wrong for most readers; the pricing page lists the free daily limits instead.
