An app for effective language training

Finally start speaking

This is not a tapping game. This is speech training: attempts, misses and reps — until sentences come out on their own.

Why it works

Training, not tapping

A real conversation never hands you four answers to choose from. It demands that you produce a sentence — no hints, spontaneously, fast. That is exactly what you train here.

01

Production, not recognition

You speak and write from memory instead of tapping ready-made options. It is harder — and it is the only thing that transfers to conversation.

02

Attempts, misses, fatigue

You fail a lot — by design. Like real training: after a good session you feel the effort, because your brain actually worked.

03

Whole-sentence drill

You rep full sentences like tokens until they become reflex. Grammar starts to feel natural from use, not from tables.

What you train

Six areas, one training

We don't teach about the language. Every part of the app trains a specific reflex — together they add up to speaking.

01 Sentence production You speak and write from memory, from scratch — no picking from ready answers.
02 Language reflexes Drill and reviews turn knowing into automatic — the sentence comes out before you think.
03 Listening comprehension Natural speech tempo, hands-free, in the background of your day.
04 Reading comprehension Stories and sentences in the context of what you already know.
05 Language intuition Sentence variants instead of tables — until you feel what sounds right.
06 Pronunciation Soon Speech coach: pronunciation diagnostics, sound by sound.

The method

Algorithms and memory science do the heavy lifting

There are hundreds of sentences to forge — willpower alone won’t cut it. The order, the timing of every review and the mixing of material are planned for you by algorithms built on well-researched learning techniques.

Language Radio

Soak it in before you sit down to study

Sentences from your learning stream play in the background — in the car, on the bike, while cooking. Your ear absorbs the melody and pace of the language, and listening reps count toward your progress.

  • In the background — you listen without a screen — like a radio or a podcast.
  • Your material — it plays what you are learning right now — including your own sentences.
  • Listening comprehension — ear training at natural speech tempo.

What users say

Over 24,000 people forge a language with Taalhammer.

As a polyglot I tested all the other tools like Anki, Quizlet, and Memrise. But Taalhammer is in a league of its own. — Martin

Taalhammer was built in Amsterdam by two polyglots — Łukasz and Mateusz — who fought their own way through the Dutch language wall. They built the app they were looking for: speech training instead of tapping. And the best proof it works arrives by email — from people who finally started speaking.

Frequently asked questions

How is Taalhammer different from gamified apps?

There you tap ready-made answers; here you produce sentences from memory. It is harder training — and the only kind that transfers to real conversation.

What level can I start from?

From zero to advanced — Core courses run from A1 to C2, and you can add your own material at any level.

How much time do I need per day?

Ten to fifteen focused minutes with reviews beat an hour of passive classes once a week.

Is Taalhammer free?

You start free and test the method risk-free. Full access is paid — see the pricing page.

The best time for your first review was a year ago. The second best is now.
