For language learners who want real conversations, not flashcards.
You learn a language fastest by using it with real people — but real chat is intimidating when you might get stuck mid-sentence. Espero gives you a safety net: chat naturally with native speakers, and tap any message to see the original beside the translation whenever you want to check yourself.
Write in your own language when you need to, or in the language you're learning when you feel brave — your chat partner reads you clearly either way. No more freezing because you can't find a word.
Tap a message to reveal the original next to its translation, so you can see how a native actually phrased it — idioms, tone, word order. Hear any message read aloud, and see pronunciation for other scripts, to train your ear and your accent.
The vocabulary that sticks is the vocabulary of your real conversations — your friend's jokes, your group's plans, the things you care about. Espero turns everyday chat into practice, instead of a separate drill you have to remember to do.
Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest on EU servers and used only to deliver and translate them — never sold, never for ads. Translation means the server reads the text, so ordinary chats aren't end-to-end encrypted, and we say so plainly. See the security model.
Chat for real in Espero: write in your own language or theirs, tap any message to see the original, and hear it read aloud — so conversation doubles as practice.
Flashcards build vocabulary; real conversation builds fluency. Espero gives you genuine chats with a safety net — the original is always one tap away.
Yes — every translated message keeps the original one tap away, so you can compare phrasing and idioms.
