Learn English with an AI Tutor

English is about 380 million native speakers and roughly 1.5 billion total speakers. English is the default language of international business, science, aviation, and the internet, which means it is the one language that reliably connects speakers of every other language. It is also the language with the largest volume of free listening material on earth, so immersion practice is never the bottleneck.

How hard is English to learn?

English has no grammatical gender and almost no case system, so the grammar is unusually light. The difficulty is concentrated in spelling, phrasal verbs, and the tense system.

What learners find hardest about English

  • Spelling almost never matches pronunciation — through, though, tough, and thought share four letters and no rhyme between them.
  • Phrasal verbs (get up, get over, get by, get away with) carry meanings you cannot deduce from the verb or the preposition alone.
  • The article system (a / the / no article) is invisible to speakers of languages that have no articles, and there is no rule that covers every case.

Frequently asked questions

Why is English spelling so irregular?

English kept older spellings while its pronunciation shifted, and it borrowed vocabulary wholesale from French, Latin, Norse, and Greek without normalising any of it. The practical consequence is that you should learn each word's sound and spelling together as one unit rather than trying to derive one from the other. Flipkado's flashcards store the audio alongside the written form for exactly this reason.

How many English words do I need to hold a conversation?

Around 800 to 1,000 high-frequency words cover the large majority of everyday spoken English. That is a realistic first target: the 500-word list on this site plus a few hundred words from your own life is enough to handle most day-to-day situations before you touch anything advanced.

Should I learn British or American English?

Pick whichever matches the people you will actually speak with, then stay consistent. The differences are mostly vocabulary, some spelling, and accent — they are small enough that speakers of either variety understand each other without difficulty, and switching later costs very little.

How long does it take to learn English?

It depends on your starting point and how consistently you practise. Most learners hold simple everyday conversations after two to three months of daily study, and reach comfortable everyday use somewhere between six months and a year. Short daily sessions beat long weekly ones by a wide margin.

Is there an AI English tutor?

Yes. Flipkado's AI tutor holds a real conversation with you in English: you type or speak, it replies at your level, and it corrects what you get wrong instead of letting the mistake settle. It draws on the vocabulary you are already studying, so you keep meeting your own words in new sentences. It is available whenever you are, with no lesson to book.

Can I learn English for free?

Flipkado is a paid product, because generating stories, corrections and conversations with AI costs money for every learner. There is a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can try everything and get a refund if it is not for you. Our vocabulary lists are free to use with no account.

What is the best way to practise English?

Start with one small deck of 10–20 words, then put those same words to work: read AI stories built from them, write short texts and get instant corrections, and talk to the AI tutor. Meeting a word in several contexts is what moves it into long-term memory — rereading a list is not.
