What Orso does.

Speech

Say it out loud

Read a phrase, speak — Orso listens and tells you if you nailed it. Real speech, not a quiz. Hands-free: cards flow one after another.

Game

Build the phrase

Don’t know it? Assemble it from shuffled words — some of them decoys. Sticks in your head far better than peeking at the answer.

Level

The course adapts itself

Cruising? Orso raises the bar. Stumbling? It steps back to easier cards. Nothing to configure.

AI topics

Any topic — yours

A trip, an interview, a word list? Type a topic — Orso generates phrases with translation and pronunciation. Need more — it makes more.

Widgets

Words right on your screen

A lock-screen widget: unlock your phone, catch a word. Plus a word of the day with a reminder.

Motivation

Streaks & badges

A daily goal, streaks, 100+ badges. A couple of minutes a day — and the language learns itself.

English for real situations.

Pick your topics — Orso trains exactly those.

Questions, answered.

Which English does Orso teach?

American. Every transcription is General American IPA — what you hear in US movies and offices.

How does the level work?

Like a chess rating: every answer nudges it up or down, so cards are always the right difficulty. You can also pick a level manually.

Will it understand my accent?

That’s the point — Orso is built for non-native speakers. Miss it and you get another go: “Almost — try again!”

Is it really free?

Yes — download it on the App Store and the whole course is available right away.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Orso is an iPhone app and needs iOS 17 or later.
