Lugha is now Qol

Qol (قول / קול)

Arabic: Qol (قول) means “to say” or “speech.”

Hebrew: Kol (קול) means “voice” or “sound.”

Learn Arabic, Hebrew (and any language) by actually using it, not by memorizing.

AI language learning app built around real usage, not rigid lessons.

Problem

Language apps are broken.

Too many rules, too many drills.

Rigid, “personalized” paths still feel robotic.

Doesn’t work for non-western languages.

Learners still can’t speak.

You didn’t learn your first language by studying. You learned by speaking. Fumbling. Getting corrected.

Solution

An AI tutor that adapts to you.

Understands who you are.

Teaches you the words you’ll actually use.

Gets you speaking on day one.

No fixed path.
Just conversation. Correction.
Confidence.

Why Now

AI speech + feedback is finally good enough (Whisper, GPT, etc.)

Demand for Arabic, Hebrew and other non-western languages is growing.

Current platforms don’t adapt to different syntax or cultures.

Shift from gamification → real-world use.

Product (MVP)

The learner opens the app and…

Sets a goal/persona (e.g. tourist, founder, student).

Learns 5–10 relevant words.

Instantly uses them in a simulated phone call, texting practice, or spoken dialogue.

Gets feedback.

Repeats, not with drills — with context.

Focus

Gamified lessons

AI conversation

Real use, real feedback

Limitation

Shallow speaking experience

Pre-scripted flows, less learner context

Learner-driven, AI-guided

An AI tutor should only do 3 things: understand you, teach you what you’ll use, and get you speaking on day one.

Market

Massive market across Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, underserved by current platforms.

Increasing demand from expats, immigrants, students, and global professionals.

Early wedge:

English → Arabic/Hebrew

Urdu → Arabic/Hebrew

Hindi → Arabic/Hebrew

Vision & Team

Built by a multilingual learner: Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian.

Frustrated by rigid platforms. Inspired by how kids, and coders, actually learn.

Hiring our core team from the Middle East, to stay close to the language, the culture, and the people who speak it every day.

An AI tutor should only do 3 things: understand you, teach you what you’ll use, and get you speaking on day one.
