Start with the easiest 300 words, practice pronunciation with AI, generate audio flashcards, or transcribe your own video clips. Everything here is designed to be simple, practical, and free.
The Language Channel is built around one simple idea: if you can hear clear audio, say it back, and repeat it often, your speaking and listening improve much faster than with textbooks alone. Every tool on this site exists to support that loop — listen, speak, get feedback, repeat — and it is designed by lifelong language learners for lifelong language learners.
Instead of overwhelming you with grammar explanations, the site gives you small, concrete tasks: read a phrase, hear it in a clear voice, say it out loud, and let AI tell you how close you are. When you want more input, you can generate your own audio with bulk text-to-speech, or transcribe your favorite clips so you understand every word.
The project is created by lifelong language students for other learners who want practical tools, not theory. You can dip in for a two-minute practice session on your phone or build a full study routine using the tools below.
If you repeat that simple routine most days, you get hundreds of high-quality repetitions per week without needing a classroom or a textbook.
The Language Channel is for self-taught learners, exchange students, busy adults, and anyone who prefers audio-based practice. You do not need an account to try the free tools, and you can combine them with apps or lessons you already use. If you later want something to show on a CV or LinkedIn profile, you can add a Fluency Certificate on top of your normal practice.
Most tools on The Language Channel work without an account. You can open the pronunciation trainer, flashcards, transcriber, or bulk text-to-speech and start using them directly in your browser. An account is only required if you want to save progress for a Fluency Certificate or come back to a previous test.
The exact list depends on the tool, but the core focus is on major European languages (German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Croatian), plus Chinese and some smaller combinations like spoken Lebanese French. For transcription and text-to-speech, many more languages are available through the underlying AI models, so you can often experiment beyond the main menu options.
Yes. The core tools are free to use in your browser. To keep the site online and cover API costs, some pages display Google Ads. A few advanced features, such as paid Fluency Certificates, are optional extras for learners who want proof of their level or a shareable URL for employers.
A traditional course follows a fixed syllabus and often spends a lot of time on grammar explanations. The Language Channel focuses instead on input and repetition: short phrases, real audio, and speaking practice with feedback. You can still study grammar elsewhere, but this site is designed to be the place where you actually say the words and train your ear.
Yes. Many learners paste text from their textbooks or exam prep materials into the bulk text-to-speech tool and generate custom audio. Others upload short audio or video clips to the transcriber to get a written version they can study. You are in control of what you practice with; the tools simply make it easier to turn any text or audio into something you can loop and repeat.
