Your language tutor, now on Telegram.
Daily practice, real conversations and voice notes with an assistant that knows what you're working on. All of it in a chat you already have open.

Practising in under two minutes
No new app, no download, no account to create first. Open the bot, press Start, and your assistant sets you up in the chat.
Open the bot
Scan the QR code or tap the link above, then press Start. There's no phone number to hand over.
Tell us about you
Your first name, the language you speak, the one you want to practise, and an email address. Four answers, in the chat.
Confirm your email
Tap the link we send you. That is what switches on your 7 days of full access: chat, voice notes and spoken practice calls.
Start practising
Message your assistant whenever you like. Set your Smart Habits and the times they should land right there in the chat.
No new app to install, and no separate login. It's the Telegram you already use every day.
Open the Voilà botEverything your assistant does on Telegram
One chat, one thread. No new app, no new password, no new habit to build.
Smart Habits
Twelve kinds of micro-lesson: vocab drops, a pronunciation clinic, quiz master, idiom of the week and more. You choose which ones, and when.
Free conversation
Message any time in the language you're learning. Send text or voice notes, and your assistant replies in the same form.
51 Roleplay Practice situations
Order food, see a doctor, survive a job interview, sort out lost luggage. Each one gives you a goal to hit.
Listening mode
Voice notes only, no text at all. There's a Show text button for the bits you really can't catch.
Photo practice
Your assistant sends you a photo to describe, or you send one of your own and get it marked.
Instant answers
Ask what a word means, how it's said, or how a verb behaves. Conjugations come back as a card you can keep.
Lesson summaries
Your tutor's lesson summary arrives in the chat, then a short evening review locks the new material in.
Streaks and milestones
Practise on consecutive days to build a streak, with a repair if you miss one, and milestones along the way.
Practise the way you already message
Your assistant is a chat in your Telegram list. Write on the bus, send a voice note while you cook, pick the thread back up hours later.
Text or voice, your choice
Send a message or a voice note. Your assistant replies in kind, or does both at once if you like hearing it as well as reading it.
Instant help, no context switch
Ask for a translation, an explanation, or how a verb conjugates. The answer lands in the thread, and verb tables arrive as a card.
One tap to lock it in
New material comes back as a short drill at increasing intervals, until it sticks for good.
Listening mode
Ask for listening practice and the text stops. Voice notes only, with a Show text button for when you're stuck.
Roast mode, if you want it
Turn it on and your assistant adds a sarcastic line about your worst mistake of the turn. Off by default, twice a day at most.
Rehearse it, then walk in ready.
Roleplay Practice builds fluency in your own time. Scenario Prep gets you ready for the thing you're doing this afternoon. Different tools, and they work best together.
Roleplay Practice
Practice for its own sake
Start one whenever you feel like it and the AI plays a part: the waiter, the landlord, the interviewer. You improvise in the thread, in text or voice notes, and afterwards you find out whether you pulled it off. Nothing real depends on it, which is the point.
- 51 situations across five categories
- Unscripted, in text or voice notes
- A Practice Summary minutes after you finish
Scenario Prep
For the thing you're actually doing
Tell your assistant what's coming up, say you're heading to the pharmacy, and get back the phrases you'll need, what you're likely to hear in reply, the key words, and voice notes to replay on the way there.
- Ask by message or voice note, any time
- Phrases, likely replies and key words
- Voice notes to listen to on the way
Prep gives you the words. Roleplay lets you rehearse them. Then you go and do it for real, and the words you looked up come back later as review.
A Practice Summary, minutes after you finish
The practice is only half of it. As soon as you wrap up, your assistant writes up how it went and sends it to you in the chat as a PDF, the same way a lesson summary arrives.
- Whether you achieved what the roleplay asked of you
- Pronunciation and grammar points to work on, with the moments they came from
- Better ways to say what you were reaching for
- Vocabulary from the session, queued up for review later in the week
Your voice notes are transcribed so this feedback can be written, and you can delete anything your assistant has stored about you at any time.

It makes your tutoring worth more
One lesson a week is an hour. This is the other hundred and sixty-seven. Your practice and your lessons feed each other, so you arrive further along than you left.
A quick review before your lesson
Your live lesson with your tutor
Your summary lands in the chat
An evening review locks it in
A week of practice on your tutor's focus
Your tutor gets briefed before next time
And round it goes. Every week builds on the one before.
With a Voilà tutor, at no cost
Your tutor sets the week's focus
They type "this week: past tense" and it becomes the first thing your practice reaches for, every day until they change it.
They can reach you mid-practice
A voice note, a written challenge, or just a well done, arriving in the thread with their face on it so you know it came from a person.
Your assistant never takes the credit
It practises the exact vocabulary and mistakes from your recorded lessons, and it says whose lesson they came from.
Your tutor walks in knowing
A short brief before every lesson: what you practised, what you kept getting wrong, where you still need reps. No time wasted catching up.
Rather keep it to yourself? Sharing your practice with your tutor is a switch in your settings, not a support ticket.
No tutor? Still yours.
- Smart Habits, free conversation, voice notes and Roleplay Practice all work on their own. Just pick the language you want to practise.
- Your assistant still tracks what you struggle with and brings it back for review until it sticks.
- You only miss the lesson-linked parts: the pre-lesson review, lesson summaries and tutor voice notes.
Without a tutor on Voilà, the assistant runs on an AI Insights subscription: $19.99/mo a month, tax included, after a 7-day free trial. Book a lesson with a Voilà tutor and it becomes free instead.

Small things you'll end up using constantly, none of which need an app.
Practice on demand
Type activity for a menu: new words, fix my mistakes, role-play, culture, a quiz, an idiom, even a joke.
It remembers you
Tell it about your job, your exam date, why you're learning. It uses all of that, and you can read or delete any of it.
A card on every streak day
Each day your practice counts, an image like this one lands in the chat. Forward it to a friend or a channel if you feel like it.
Switch language mid-chat
Say you'd like to practise Italian and it switches. Each language keeps its own words, habits and progress.
Take your vocabulary with you
Ask for the words you've been learning as a PDF, printable flashcards or an Anki deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Voilà on Telegram cost?
What does Voilà on Telegram cost?
If your tutor teaches you on Voilà, it's free for as long as your lessons continue, and there is nothing to buy or enter. Otherwise it's included with Premium AI Insights, so there is no separate Telegram subscription: new subscribers get a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 per month, tax included, and you can cancel any time before the trial ends without being charged. A monthly fair-use allowance applies to AI practice — at least 60 ten-minute conversations a month on a paid subscription; in the rare case you reach it, practice pauses until the next month.
Can I use Telegram and WhatsApp at the same time?
Can I use Telegram and WhatsApp at the same time?
You practise on one channel at a time. If you're already on WhatsApp and you connect Telegram, your practice moves rather than duplicates. Your streak, your learner profile and your Smart Habit settings all come across untouched, and you can switch back whenever you like.
How do I pause or stop?
How do I pause or stop?
Send /stop in the chat at any time, or switch the channel off in your Voilà settings. You can turn it back on from the website whenever you like, and you can disconnect the chat entirely.
Which languages does it work in?
Which languages does it work in?
Chat, voice notes and Smart Habits work in every language Voilà teaches. Voice notes need a language our speech AI supports, and most major languages are covered. If yours isn't supported yet, your assistant sticks to text.
What does my tutor see?
What does my tutor see?
By default, your practice history for the language they teach you: what you worked on, your streak, and the things you keep getting wrong. That is what lets them set a focus for the week and walk into your lesson already up to speed. If you'd rather they didn't, turn sharing off in your settings and they'll see that you keep your practice private instead.
Does this replace my tutor?
Does this replace my tutor?
No, it's built to do the opposite. Your assistant practises what your tutor taught, credits them by name, briefs them before your next lesson and nudges you to book it. Your tutor is the one teaching you. Telegram keeps you warm in between.
