WhatsApp for Students

Voilà on WhatsApp is a between-lesson practice partner on the app you already use. You chat, do short scheduled micro-lessons, and can make spoken practice calls. The AI knows what you are working on with your real tutor and keeps pointing you back to them.

Launching September 2026. Some features (photo practice, certain call types) may roll out gradually after launch.

WhatsApp practice is included with Premium AI Insights. There is no separate WhatsApp subscription.

How you get access:

  • Lessons with a Voilà tutor — if your tutor has an active Voilà subscription (or is on their free trial) and you have recent or upcoming lessons with them (a lesson in the last 30 days, a booked lesson, a recurring schedule, or remaining package credits), AI Insights and WhatsApp are included. Access stops if you leave that tutor or lessons go stale. Manage this from Settings → Subscription.
  • Referral code — anyone can redeem an AI Insights referral code (from a tutor invite, staff, or a promo). That grant is portable: it continues even if you stop lessons with a tutor.
  • Everyone else — $19.99/month after a 7-day free trial. Manage or cancel from Settings → Subscription, or reply billing on WhatsApp.

Getting started​

  1. Create a free Voilà account (or sign in).
  2. Open WhatsApp Tutor at voila.fun/whatsapp-tutor (or start from voila.fun/whatsapp).
  3. Enter your WhatsApp number and agree to be messaged.
  4. Reply to the verification message on WhatsApp to confirm the number.
  5. Pick your language and tutor (if you have more than one), then choose Smart Habits and times that work for you.
  6. Start practising. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial of AI Insights.

You can also manage habits and privacy later from the same page or from a magic link sent to your phone.

What you can do​

Chat anytime​

Send text or voice notes in the language you study. The AI replies in text, voice, or both, depending on your preference. Practice is pitched at your level and weaves in vocabulary, grammar, and recurring mistakes from your real lessons.

Smart Habits​

Short scheduled micro-lessons (about 2–10 minutes) at times you pick — for example Daily Vocab Drops, Roleplay Check-In, Pronunciation Clinic, Idiom of the Week, or Quiz Master. Each one starts with a hook message; tap a button to begin.

Pronunciation Clinic asks you to repeat a tricky sentence as a voice note and coaches the sounds that were weak. You will not see a score or a percentage.

Explain​

If a reply goes over your head, say explain (or swipe-reply to that message). The AI takes the sentence apart — tense, agreement, word order, the small word that changes the meaning. It works on your messages too. Say explain again to go deeper. Explain in text forces a written explanation just that once.

Describe a photo​

Say new photo and you get a picture of an everyday scene to describe. The AI looks at the same photo, says how close you got, and hands you a word or two you missed. You can ask for a kind of scene (in any language). The AI sends the photo — sending your own picture is not supported yet.

Photo practice may roll out gradually after launch.

After a real lesson​

The AI can send your lesson summary on WhatsApp, then follow up the same evening with a short lock-in review so new material does not fade.

Practice calls​

You can have a spoken conversation over WhatsApp — dial the Voilà number or accept a call the AI proposes.

  • Scenarios from a library of 51 role-plays (ordering food, interviews, doctor visits, and more).
  • At higher levels the AI may add one surprise complication mid-call.
  • If you mention a real upcoming event, the AI can offer to rehearse it.
  • After the call you get written feedback as a PDF.

Calls are recorded so the AI can write that feedback. You are told this when a call is proposed.

Practice calls need a language the voice AI supports. If yours is not supported yet, the AI will not offer calls and suggests voice notes instead. Some call features may roll out gradually.

Streaks​

Practising on consecutive days builds a daily streak (chat, a micro-lesson, or a call all count). Miss a day? Complete a practice lesson within 48 hours (once per month) and the streak can survive. Milestone celebrations land at 10, 25, 50, and 100 sessions.

Kid mode​

Say or type kid mode and the AI switches to a child-friendly coach. Say kid mode off to switch back — or it turns itself off after two quiet hours. STOP still unsubscribes for real, even in kid mode.

Pause or stop​

Reply STOP on WhatsApp at any time, or switch the channel off from your Voilà settings. You can re-enable it from the website whenever you like.

A generous monthly fair-use cap applies. If you reach it, practice pauses until the next month and then continues.
