One-to-one online classes with a live teacher, built around your goal, plus an app with Atti, your AI partner, for practice between lessons. English, Chinese, Arabic and Russian.
We'll be in touch within one business day with a time that suits you.
Languages are usually taught like a school subject — not like a way to talk to people. That is the whole problem.
Let me help!
Don't miss your shot!
And it all starts with a lesson you pay nothing for: show up, speak, get an honest read on your level and a plan. What happens next is your call.
Free, no card, no commitment
Four languages, each with a working practitioner as your teacher and an AI partner alongside.
It's the most common reason people never start. So let's do the arithmetic honestly.
That is less than a quarter of the time an average person already spends on a phone. The world will not end over unread news — but half an hour a day quietly turns into a language: single words first, then whole sentences, and one day you catch yourself thinking in it.

No hundred-question placement test, no week of waiting for a manager to call back.
Pick a language and leave a contact. We match you with a teacher by your goal, your level and your temperament, then agree a time that works.
2 minutesA real lesson with a teacher: we assess your level, build your study plan and introduce you to Atti, your AI partner.
Free of chargeLessons with your teacher plus daily practice in the app. A full level in roughly 32 lessons* — your teacher gives a sharper estimate after the assessment.
From the first weeksAt Verbatica the lesson with your teacher is only the top of it. Everything that makes a language actually happen between lessons comes with it: the AI app, the web platform, a reminder bot and a place to hand in homework. Nothing to buy separately.
One-to-one lessons built around your goal. Responsible for understanding, for speech, and for the fact that you talk instead of staying quiet.
Instant checking and error breakdowns, vocabulary, grammar, listening and pronunciation — all in one place. Free on the App Store and Google Play.
Choose a teacher, book a class and take the lesson itself in one place, from any computer — nothing to install.
Reminds you about class, helps you move a lesson and keeps practice from slipping. Atti lives in Telegram — you can simply talk to it.
Tasks, submission and feedback in one place: your teacher sees what you did, you see what to fix. Nothing gets lost in a chat thread.
Real people on hand for scheduling, changing teachers, freezing your package, payments and anything technical. Not your problem to solve.
It is all part of the lesson price. No separate subscriptions, no add-ons, no "premium tier" — you pay for lessons and the ecosystem simply works around them.
You're going to compare anyway — so we did it for you, honestly. The difference isn't only in the lessons, it's in what comes with them.

Not "you'll speak one day", but a figure you can plan around — and a price you can see: a level of English works out at $840, which is about $26 a lesson. Your teacher gives a sharper estimate for your goal after the assessment in the trial lesson.
There is nothing to risk: the first lesson is free, you pay nothing and sign nothing.
The longer the package, the cheaper the lesson.
Pick a package only after the trial lesson.
How lessons run, how the teacher-plus-AI format works, and what to expect from studying with us.
32 lessons is a benchmark drawn from our students' experience. It is not a promise of a result, not an obligation on the school, and not grounds for a refund. Learning a language is an individual process.
The pace depends on factors that are largely down to the student:
Some students need fewer lessons for a level, others noticeably more. Your teacher gives an individual estimate after the assessment in the trial lesson and adjusts it as you progress. Levels are measured on the standard scales (CEFR, HSK and equivalents).
Terms of payment, rescheduling, cancellation, freezing and refunds are governed by the service agreement. Information on this page is not a public offer.
We'll assess your level, build a study plan and introduce you to Atti. No payment, no commitment.
