The idea

Chat with friends.
Pick up a language on the side.

Yap is a chat app. You write to your friend in the language you know. They write back in theirs.

In between, Yap quietly swaps a few words into the language you're learning — picked from the context of the conversation, tuned to your level. Try writing back in it yourself and you'll get a one-line nudge on what to fix.

How it works

Start exactly där du är.

Yap doesn't ask you to pick a nivå, take a placement test, or promise tjugo minuter a day. There's a single ratt — how much svenska you want woven into the chat — and you can nudge it any time.

Try the dial
A few words
English··Svenska

Slide it. Watch the section rewrite itself — words swap, then word order bends to match.

Day one

One ord per message.

You don't know any svenska yet. A vän writes "middag" instead of "dinner" — the rest is English. Your brain förankrar the word to a real plan with a real person.

Month three

Half the meddelande, in.

Verb, tidsuttryck, whole clauses start landing in svenska. You reply with the bits du kan, in English where you don't. The tutor fixar anything wobbly before it sends.

Later

Just two vänner talking.

The ratt is all the way up. The chatten is på svenska. You barely märkte it happen — because nothing ever felt like a lektion.

Already intermediate? Start halvvägs up the ratt. Coming back after a decade borta? Slide it back ner. The vävning meets you where du är — every single day.

Start with one chat.
See what happens.

Works with 40+ languages — Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, Persian, Tagalog, Cebuano, and many more.
