Description

Description

Cambly specializes in on-demand English conversation practice. At the press of a button, the platform connects you with a friendly native speaker for a video chat session. This model is ideal for learners seeking to practice speaking without the scheduling of a formal lesson. Cambly operates on a subscription that provides a set number of minutes per week. While some tutors offer structured lessons, the platform's main strength is its accessibility for spontaneous, immersive conversation to build fluency.

Glossika employs an audio-lingual method, exposing users to thousands of natural sentences for repetition. The goal is to internalize grammatical patterns and sentence structures through high-volume listening and speaking practice, rather than explicit study. Its algorithm uses spaced repetition to schedule reviews. While powerful for developing an intuitive feel for a language, the method is highly repetitive by design and provides no grammar explanations, making it challenging for those who prefer more analytical approaches.
