Reviews arrive just before you'd forget.
Every word and rule has its own schedule. Each time you recall it on time, it fades more slowly, so reviews get further apart and your daily load stays small.

What you really know, and how SparkAI knows it.
Recognising a rule isn't the same as using it. Skill by skill, SparkAI shows what you can do without help, in plain words rather than made-up percentages, and says so when there isn't enough evidence yet.

04 · Why it's different
Learn a language, not just a streak.
SparkAI was built after a long streak on a popular app still didn't lead to a real conversation. So it measures what you can do, not how many days in a row you opened it.
No hearts, no energy
Make as many mistakes as you need. Mistakes are how you learn.
No streak guilt
A weekly rhythm with rest days, not a chain you're afraid to break.
No guessing the rules
Every grammar point explained in plain English.

Questions
Questions
Is SparkAI really free?
Yes, you can learn for free: no ads, and no payment details to start.
Do I need an account?
Not to start. Press Start and learn straight away; your progress is kept on your device. AI chat gives three guest prompts, then needs a free account. Create a free account whenever you want your progress saved and synced across devices.
What level does it go up to?
From complete beginner (A0) to C2 in French, Spanish, German and Mandarin, across seven levels, with a level test at the end of each. The English course runs from A1 to C1, with a first C2 unit.
Is SparkAI a free alternative to Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu or Memrise?
Yes. SparkAI's French course is free to start, with no ads and no energy limit. It teaches grammar from A0 to C2 and adds spaced-repetition flashcards, graded reading, audio lessons and an AI conversation partner.
How is it different from other French apps?
A guided path decides what you study each day, mistakes come with the grammar rule explained, vocabulary uses spaced repetition (FSRS), and you read real stories and books at your level, with audio lessons, pronunciation feedback and an AI conversation partner.
