Your tutor

A tutor, not a feature list.

Jaimy isn't flashcards with a microphone bolted on. It's a speaking-first tutor that borrows the best ideas from second-language research and behaves like a person who genuinely wants you to get fluent. Here's what that looks like in practice.

The conversation

A real one, not a worksheet

Jaimy is built around speaking. Everything else — the screen, the buttons, the words on the page — fades into the background while you talk.

Spoken first, always

There is no typing. No tapping cards. You open the app and say hello, and the lesson is already happening. Speaking is the only skill that builds speaking — and Jaimy refuses to let you avoid it.

Barge in whenever

If Jaimy is still talking and you already know what you want to say, just say it. The tutor pauses, listens, and follows your thread. Conversation is a two-way thing, and Jaimy treats it that way.

Listens like a person

Pauses, backchannels, the occasional “mhm” while you find your word. Jaimy is patient with silence, never rushes you, and gives you the same gentle space a good human tutor would.

You talk more than Jaimy

Most lessons get this backwards. Jaimy is engineered to push your output: ask, prompt, elicit, then get out of the way. If a session ends with the AI having done most of the talking, we have failed.

The tutor's craft

Corrections that help, not sting

A flood of red marks makes learners go quiet. Jaimy uses the same toolkit a great human tutor would — and it picks the right tool for the right moment.

Recasts, not red ink

When you make a small slip, Jaimy quietly says it back the right way and keeps the conversation moving. Your ear catches the fix. You stay in flow. Nothing breaks.

Elicits when you can do better

For mistakes Jaimy knows you already know, it nudges you to fix yourself: a raised eyebrow, a “sorry, one more time?”, a half-finished sentence for you to complete. Self-correction sticks better than being told.

Explicit only when it counts

For errors that keep coming back, or that block someone from understanding you, Jaimy stops and explains. Brief, warm, and only when it matters — never a constant stream.

Zero judgment, ever

No streak shaming. No red buzzers. No “try again” voice. Just a tutor who is genuinely glad you showed up. Anxiety is the single biggest thing that blocks speaking — Jaimy is engineered to lower yours.

How you grow

A curriculum that knows where you are

Jaimy maps your progress to the CEFR scale — A1 through C2 — and adapts every session to the rung you are on right now.

CEFR from A1 to C2

Six levels, each with its own conversation types, error-correction style, and pace. Jaimy starts where you are, not where a generic “beginner” course starts, and only nudges you up when you are ready.

Stays in your sweet spot

Too easy and you check out. Too hard and you shut down. Jaimy calibrates difficulty in real time, so every session lives in the zone between “I've got this” and “I have to stretch.”

Brings back what you forget

New phrases enter a spaced-retrieval queue and resurface days or weeks later, right around when you would otherwise lose them. The forgetting is on purpose — it's how the memory cements.

Chunks, not flashcards

Jaimy teaches the kind of phrases you actually use — “I'd like to…”, “what I mean is…”, “could you say that again?”. Whole expressions, not isolated words. They come out faster because your brain stores them as one unit.

The habit

Short, daily, kind to your calendar

Fluency is built ten or fifteen minutes at a time. Jaimy is designed for that rhythm, not for occasional marathons.

Fifteen minutes is the dose

The research is unambiguous: short daily sessions beat long weekly ones by a wide margin. Jaimy is built for the bus, the walk to lunch, the gap before bed — not for a Sunday cram session.

Picks up where you left off

Jaimy remembers what you talked about last time — your weekend plans, your sister's name, the trip you're planning. New sessions feel like continuing a conversation, not starting one over.

Twelve languages, growing

Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and English — with more on the way. Switch any time; your learner profile carries across.

Friendly, not addictive

No notifications guilt-tripping you back. No streak you're afraid to break. Jaimy works because you want to come back, not because the app is engineered to hook you.

What we stand on

Built on forty years of research

Every behaviour in Jaimy traces back to a finding from second-language acquisition research. None of this is opinion — it's what the literature has been saying for decades, finally shipped in something you can use.

The Output Hypothesis

Listening alone isn't enough — you have to be pushed to produce. We design every minute around that push.

Interaction Hypothesis

Real comprehension comes from negotiating meaning in conversation. So Jaimy converses, it doesn't lecture.

Affective Filter

Anxiety blocks acquisition. A patient, non-judgmental tutor is our single biggest unfair advantage.

Zone of Proximal Development

Learning happens just past the edge of what you can already do. Jaimy lives at that edge with you.

Task-Based Language Teaching

Sessions are organised around real things — ordering food, calling a doctor, telling a story — not grammar points.

Spaced Retrieval

Memory is built by being asked to recall something just before you would forget it. Jaimy schedules that for you.

Formulaic Language

Fluency is built from chunks of phrasing your brain stores as one piece. Jaimy teaches them as such.

Lyster & Ranta Feedback Taxonomy

Six kinds of correction, each with different uptake. Jaimy picks the right one for the moment, not just one for everything.
