Hey Product Hunt, it’s been a while! We weren’t avoiding you (I swear!) - we’ve just been cooking up something special 🍳 I’m so, so excited to share Fluent 2.0 with you - the world’s first language tutor and conversation coach in your browser. If you want to speak a new language, there aren’t many great options. Tutors are expensive, approaching strangers is inconvenient (if you can even find a native speaker), and apps don’t really teach spoken language. I’ll bet you’ve spent hours on language apps, getting no closer to actual conversations - and let’s be honest, it’s hard to stick around on these apps for more than a few weeks anyways. Which is why we decided to ✨turn your browser itself✨ into the language tutor! Rather than paying hundreds per week for someone to hold you accountable & perfect your speech, Fluent turns anything you read online into a language lesson and pronunciation drill. If you’re terminally online like me, those hours add up quick - and you’ll get more practice speaking your language than you thought possible! So, what’s new in Fluent 2.0? 🗣️ AI-powered pronunciation lessons 🖊️ Reading, writing, & listening lessons 🏃🏽‍♂️ Start a focused practice session right from any webpage 🏆 Streaks & leaderboards And that’s just the beginning - we’re racing to add more conversation focused features, so Fluent becomes a true browser-based language tutor. In the coming weeks we’ll be adding: 〰️ Sentence-level conversation practice 🤖 Live conversation practice about the contents of any webpage 🧑🏽‍🏫 Grammatical corrections in live conversation So click the link above or visit to try Fluent for free for 7 days! Catch you at the next launch 🙂 P.S. Thanks for the hunt @hnshah ! You’re the best ❤️

@hnshah @gavin_dove1 Thanks to Fluent 2.0, it's finally possible to hone your pronunciation without the routine. Looking forward to more conversation-focused features.💪
Gavin Dove
@hnshah @antonikozelski Thanks Antoni! Our dream is to help anyone speak a new language faster - no matter how disciplined (or lazy!) they are :) Can't wait to share our sentence-level pronunciation and live conversation features here in the coming weeks!
Gavin Dove
@madalina_barbu Thank you Madaline! Not everyone has access to fellow language learners or tutors they can easily practice conversation with. Hopefully Fluent helps people practice speaking new languages even on their own!

Big congrats! Good luck, guys!

@iren_ivashchinenko Thanks for the kind words Iren! You have a big appreciation from the team and I :)
Oleg from FirstHR
Great work, my congrats! You have my vote.
Gavin Dove
@oleg_eltsov Thank you for the vote Oleg! You have my gratitude!
Congrats on launch! Any roadmap on supporting more languages? I'd argue that these 6 are covered in complete saturation - no one is struggling finding resources to learn German or Spanish, right? I'd be much more interested in learning smaller languages or even something weirder like esperanto and that's exactly where AI integration would shine. Feels a bit like a missed opportunity imo.
Gavin Dove
@reb_sadran Thanks for the comment Reb! Totally agree - these are the most popular languages, which is why we started with them! I'd love to cover smaller languages as soon as possible (our co-founding team's first languages include languages like Hebrew, Cantonese, Catalan and Armenian), and I think AI will play a big role in enabling that. Before LLMs and the techniques to train them appeared, that looked like it would be many years (and a much larger team) away. I can't give an exact date, but now I think the timeline has shrunk significantly. Right now our first priority is reaching a clear product/market fit. As soon as we've hit that and our product is stable, we're going to expand our set of languages as quickly as we can! In the meantime, we've put together this voting page to get a sense of what languages people want on Fluent. If you drop the languages you want there, you'll be notified when they're live! https://feedback.fluent.co/langu...

Bryan McAnulty
I like the idea of being able to learn something new while reading something you are interested in.
Gavin Dove
@bryanmcanulty Same! My cofounders and I got tired of learning "The apple is angry" and other nonsensical sentences on all the usual language apps 😂
Alex Caza

Gavin Dove
@alex_petruchio Thanks for the kind words Alex! Your support means the world :)
Brad Mitchler
Nice one. I heard on a podcast last week for adults to really learn a language they need to spend some 20-30% of their day practicing it. It's almost impossible without living around it, but perhaps this tool can work language learning in to normal day to day life. Good luck!
Gavin Dove
@brad_mitchler It's crazy how much practice you need to learn a language right? Depending on what you're learning, it can take anywhere from 600 to 2000 focused hours of practice! My co-founders and I realized the problem wasn't better tests, but rather making it easy for people to practice regularly! So hopefully, Fluent can get a few more folks a little closer to that 600 hour point, more people can enjoy the world in their desired language :)

Asjad khan
A great initiative. A perfect tool for those who look forward to being multilingual. I hope that the Korean Language will be added soon too. I look forward to moving from 'DeepL' and switching to Fluent2.0. Good luck with the product!
Gavin Dove
@asjad_khan5 Appreciate you Asjad! DeepL is an amazing tool, so being mentioned in the same sentence as them is humbling :) We hope to launch Korean soon! There's a lot of demand for it. In the meantime if you leave a vote for Korean here (https://feedback.fluent.co/langu...) you'll be notified when it goes live!
This looks so cool! Pretty neat website and the video makes the product usage super clear. I'll definitely add this to my list of tools to try. Great work, team. Congratulations on launching 2.0!
Gavin Dove
@shreelekha Appreciate you Shreelekha! We've been hard at work on Fluent 2.0 for a while now, so you have no idea how much those words mean to us :)
