How it works
Fluency is the gap between what you want to say and what you can.
You can't fix that gap from a textbook, because you don't know where it is. So you find it by talking, and close it one sentence at a time.
- 1 · Push to your limitToday's question
Secondo te, i turisti fanno bene alla tua città?
You, two sentences inSì, portano soldi, ma ci sono troppi turisti e…
Talk about something real, a little past what feels comfortable. That edge is where the learning is.
- 2 · Switch to English when you're stuckYou said
…e the rent goes up per chi ci abita.
Don't stop. Finish the thought in English, or any language you know. That switch marks the exact thing you don't know how to say yet.
Every time you switch, you've found a gap.

Who it's for
You've studied. You understand more than you can say.
Cadentia is for the gap between knowing a language and speaking it: years of classes, an app streak, a family language you half-speak.
Already speak a few languages? You know how languages work. This finds your gaps in this one, so you skip what you already know.
Have a tutor?
Practise every day between lessons, so you arrive ready to talk. Tell us about your tutor and we'll get in touch about using Cadentia together.

Why it works
Three old ideas, finally in one place.
OutputYou learn to speak by speaking.
Reading and listening build understanding. Trying to say something yourself is what shows you the words and grammar you're missing. That's why every session starts with you talking.
NoticingYou fix what you can see.
A gap you don't notice stays. Putting your sentence next to a natural version, one change at a time, makes the difference visible, so your brain can keep it.
SpacingYou remember what comes back.
A fix you see once fades in days. Review brings each one back just before you'd forget it, and Cadi gives you a reason to use it in a real sentence. Each return makes it last longer.
Why not just ChatGPT?
A chatbot answers you. This one keeps track of you.
Mix languages mid-sentence
Run out of words? Finish the thought in English, or another language you know, and keep going. Cadi understands and gives you the words you were missing.
Understands imperfect speech
It catches what you mean when you hesitate, restart, or your pronunciation isn't clear yet, and lets you finish your thought.
Remembers every mistake
A chatbot keeps no record of your mistakes. Here every one goes to your record and comes back in Review and in conversation with Cadi.
Built for speaking
You talk, it talks back, and the fixes come after. No typing, no prompts to write.
Questions
Do I need an account for the speaking check?
No. You speak, see your fixes and your plan, and only sign in when you press Save my plan.
What if my level is low?
It works best if you understand more than you can say. You can switch to English mid-sentence and keep going.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
It corrects your exact words and remembers every mistake. Your mistakes come back in Review, and Cadi challenges you to use them in conversation, until they stick. A general chatbot does none of that unprompted.
Does my tutor have to use it?
No. Practise on your own and bring your saved mistakes to your lessons. If you'd like, tell us about your tutor and we'll get in touch with them.
Which languages?
Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Romanian and English.
