A language learning app without a subscription

If you practise in bursts or switch between languages, a monthly fee may not suit your routine. Look for an app that clearly separates its free starter lessons from the content included in a one-time purchase.

Free to start and free forever are different

A free download does not necessarily mean every lesson is free. Check the purchase model before investing time: a subscription renews, a consumable purchase can run out, and a permanent unlock gives access to the content it covers without a recurring fee.

Also check whether the price applies to one language or the full library. A low entry price is less useful if the topics you need require several separate purchases.

What Repeat After Me includes

You can start with free lessons, with no account and no ads. One purchase unlocks the full library described in the listing: everyday sentences, illustrated dialogues, Listen & React and Essential Verbs in Italian, German, English, French and Spanish. There is no subscription.

The US App Store listed the Full Version at $9.99 when checked on September 21, 2026. Your local App Store and the purchase sheet show the current price. The app is a focused listening and speaking practice tool, not a promise of a complete language education.

Try the routine before unlocking

  1. Download the app and select your starting language and target language.
  2. Open a free sentence category and use Listen & Translate.
  3. Repeat a short group of phrases, then try Active Recall.
  4. Decide whether the pace, voices and exercise style fit the way you want to practise.
  5. If you want the remaining topics and activities, review the full-version offer in the app.

Choose by your practice needs

For phrase repetition, offline listening and independent recall, this model keeps the buying decision straightforward. If you need live tutoring, feedback on your pronunciation or an exam syllabus, evaluate those separately. Paying once for the right practice tool is more useful than collecting features you will never use.

Try it with your next sentence.
