Finding Her Voice, and Helping Others Find Theirs: Natalia’s Journey With LingoLooper

Natalia is a lifelong learner — and teacher. Based in central Poland and fluent in English, she’s also studied psychology and currently teaches language to students of her own. One of her life goals? To become fluent in five languages.

But for someone so motivated, she found that the most popular apps weren’t moving the needle.

“I did over 600 days on Duolingo,” she says. “But I didn’t feel much improvement when it came to speaking. I needed something different.”

She tried Speakly and liked it — especially the one-time purchase and clean layout. But it wasn’t until she discovered LingoLooper that she started to feel a new kind of engagement: real conversation.

Language, Without the Barrier

What Natalia loves most is how LingoLooper addresses something she sees in her students (and experienced herself): the hesitation to speak.

“It’s great for people who are nervous to talk to a real person,” she says. “You’re speaking out loud, but there’s no pressure.”

She shared the app with her dad and sister too — both of whom were skeptical at first, but surprised by how natural the conversations felt. For Natalia, that comfort zone is where the real learning begins.

As a B1-level Spanish learner herself, she appreciates that she can try saying what she wants first — and get suggestions that build from there. “That’s something no other app really offers. It helps you think in the language.”

Teaching Through Experience

True to her educator’s mindset, Natalia’s not just using LingoLooper — she’s using it to teach. She’s been recommending it to students who need speaking practice but feel overwhelmed by real-life conversation.

And while she’s given us valuable product feedback along the way, her biggest takeaway is this: language learning gets easier when you can just start speaking.

“When there’s no fear of being judged, and the app responds to what you say, it feels like a conversation — not an exercise.”

LingoLooper isn’t just another tool in Natalia’s toolkit. It’s part of her mission to remove the barrier between knowing a language and using it.
