A language app shaped like a tale
Peixe-Babel
Every new language is a strange land. Gather your party, walk into the tavern and learn to get by: talking, listening to stories and gaining experience every day.
The app is in beta, and joining is free.
The party
Eight companions, each keeping a part of the journey
Each character looks after a corner of the app. And, like any good adventuring party, none of them speaks just one language.
Quanto custa?
Magic Translator
Merchant
Haggles at any market. Speak or type, and the sentence comes out translated and read aloud, even offline.
Era uma vez…
Stories
Acolyte
Carries the lantern and the book. Tales narrated in the language you study, followed sentence by sentence.
Vamos conversar?
Speech Dojo
Bard
Lives on conversation. Rehearse dialogues out loud and see how close your speech got to the line.
Você ouviu isso?
Perception
Elf archer
Elven ears: pick the voice, slow it down and listen again until every word makes sense.
Leia devagar.
Wisdom
Sage
Has read more than he has lived. Sorts the readings by level, so you never pick up a book too big.
Escreve isso.
Intelligence
Mage
Writes spells, and sentences. Type into the translator, dictate with the mic and fix it before translating.
Mais uma vez!
Flashcards
Blacksmith
Forges vocabulary card by card: find the word from its meaning and review it until it holds.
Até amanhã.
Streak
Dwarf
Stubborn as stone. Daily quests and a streak of days that keeps growing as long as you show up.

Perception
Listening
“How much do you understand when someone speaks?”
Wisdom
Reading
“How much of a written text do you understand?”
Intelligence
Writing
“How well can you express yourself in writing?”
Ranks
Novice
Adventurer
Explorer
Traveler
Veteran

In the backpack
Works far from the road
Translation and voices on your phone
Each language is downloaded once and, from then on, translates and speaks offline.
No account, no ads
Just open it and use it. Your progress stays on your phone.
Ten languages
Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Japanese and Korean.
Speech recognition uses your phone's own system recognizer.
Knowing another language can be as useful as it is fun. I made this app to help people I care about grow on this journey, and to remind myself that learning something new can be light and enjoyable.
The tavern is open
Pick your device and join the party.
