Speak badly. That’s how you get good.
Forget a word. Mix up a tense. Take a moment to find what you want to say.
Then keep going.
HeyPony gives you a place to practise languages through conversations with animated AI characters. Choose someone you like, pick a language, and start talking. You don’t have to wait until you feel ready.
A conversation worth having
Textbook exercises have their place. But sometimes you want to talk about your day, plan an imaginary holiday, or ask a very serious question about whether a pony would make a good president.
With HeyPony, you choose the topic. Practise expressing your own thoughts, asking questions, and understanding replies — one conversation at a time.
What you can do with HeyPony
Practise 83 languages
Explore languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Kazakh, and many more.
Switch languages whenever you want to practise something different. Language and voice availability depends on your subscription and selected options.
Meet characters with personality
Choose from a cast of animated AI characters with different personalities and voices.
Find a favourite conversation partner or switch things up. A familiar topic can feel completely different when someone new joins the conversation.
Choose your level, from A1 to C2
Just starting out? Select A1 for shorter sentences and simpler vocabulary. More confident? Choose a higher level for richer language and more nuanced conversations.
HeyPony uses your selected level to guide its replies. You can change it as you learn.
Talk out loud — or type instead
Practise speaking with your microphone, or continue in text chat when talking out loud isn’t convenient.
On the bus, in a quiet room, or simply not in the mood to speak? Typing counts as practice too.
Listen at your own pace
Adjust the speaking speed to make replies easier to follow.
Missed something? Replay the last response. There’s no need to pretend you understood every word the first time.
Follow along with captions
Turn on captions to read what your character is saying. Open the full reply when you need more time to understand it.
Connect what you hear with what you see, then continue the conversation.
Ask for help when you want it
Want a translation, a grammar explanation, or feedback on something you said? Just ask.
Otherwise, keep chatting. Every conversation doesn’t need to become a lesson.
Not every chat needs a learning goal
You can also use HeyPony in your own language.
Share an idea, explore an unusual topic, or enjoy a ridiculous conversation with an animated character. Sometimes curiosity is a good enough reason to start talking.
Start small. Come back tomorrow.
You don’t need a perfect accent or a carefully prepared speech. A question, a short answer, or a few sentences about your day is enough to begin.
Speak badly. Make mistakes. Ask them to repeat themselves.
Then do it again tomorrow.
