What Hello Nabu is
Hello Nabu is an AI language-learning app built around story lessons and conversations with an AI tutor. Learners create a character, choose a place, and describe the world that character will explore. Story chapters combine a continuing adventure with language lessons, while conversation practice lets learners speak or type to Nabu, get help as they talk, and review feedback afterward. Vocabulary tools include quick drills, word themes, and tracking of skills. The app offers 19 languages and lessons from CEFR A1 to C2, for complete beginners and learners continuing at their current level. Speech practice and personalized review are available. Progress can continue across web, iOS, and Android using the same account. The Free plan lets learners create a character and adventure. Premium costs €9.99 per month and includes unlimited lessons and practice, unlimited tutor conversations, and custom adventures; it can be canceled anytime. A 7-day Premium trial requires a payment method, with no charge if canceled before the trial ends. Hello Nabu is made by a company headquartered in Paris, France, founded in 2024, and is intended for users aged 16 and over; younger users need parental or guardian consent.
