How It Works

You Can't Google Translate
a Friendship.

You don't need us to survive abroad. Google handles that fine. You need us for the part that comes after β€” the wedding toast in French, the joke that lands on your date in Mexico City, the 2am conversation with your hostel friends from Brazil. That stuff doesn't come from an app on your phone. It comes from putting in the reps.

Every Character Has a Life
You're Walking Into.

The friends you make abroad don't exist in a vacuum. They have jobs, neighborhoods, opinions about where to eat and what music is overrated. So do ours. We built real cities with real settings β€” hostels, restaurants, hotel lobbies, market stalls β€” and filled them with people who live there.

The bartender in Paris has regulars. The receptionist in Mexico City has been working that desk for three years. When you practice with them, you're not running drills. You're learning to belong somewhere. Because that's how it actually works when you move or travel somewhere new.

The Character System

Characters That Remember You

Not generic AI tutors. Real personalities with memory, opinions, and regional authenticity.

Persistent Memory

Characters remember your progress, mistakes, and milestones across hundreds of conversations. Come back a week later and they pick up where you left off. Slip up on something you've practiced before and they'll call you out. This isn't a chatbot that resets β€” it's a relationship that grows.

Regional Authenticity

Mexican Spanish β‰  Argentine Spanish. Every character speaks with authentic regional accents, slang, and cultural context β€” because the version of a language people actually speak depends on where they live.

Distinct Personalities

Some are patient. Others push hard. Each has their own style, their own opinions, and their own way of letting you know when you're coasting.

Shaen - Founder

The loneliest I've ever felt was sitting at a table full of people in Mexico City, laughing at jokes I couldn't understand, nodding along to stories I couldn't follow, smiling when everyone smiled because I didn't know what else to do. I wasn't excluded. I just wasn't included. That's a different kind of isolation β€” the kind that happens when you're right there and still can't connect. I built Project Fluency to close that gap.

Why We're Different

Because the Best Parts of Life Happen Between People.

We Only Eat When You Speak

We charge by the minute. If you stop practicing, we stop earning. So everything we build is designed to get you closer to real connection β€” not to keep you subscribed and stagnant.

Aligned

Built for the Long Conversation

Relationships take time. So does fluency. We're self-funded because we're building something that works over months and years β€” not something that looks good in a pitch deck next quarter.

Self-Funded

People You'd Actually Meet

The coworker who code-switches when you walk in. The bartender who saves the good mezcal for regulars. Your partner's aunt who tells the REAL family stories after everyone else goes to bed. Our characters are built from people like that β€” the ones who make you feel like you belong once you've earned it.

Rewards That Matter

Practice Time Ownership

Unlike meaningless badges and streaks, we give you something real: free conversation minutes. The more consistently you practice, the more you earn back.
