italki connects you with real human tutors for one-on-one Spanish conversation practice, booked and paid for by the session. A good human tutor is genuinely valuable — real-time correction, cultural context, and a real person adapting to you in ways no AI fully replicates yet. Fluir doesn't try to replace that, and we don't build any tutor-booking feature ourselves.
What Fluir offers instead is voice-first AI conversation practice with no booking, no scheduling, and no per-session cost beyond the subscription: open the app and talk. The AI tutor ("Lucía") is briefed, each session, on your own recent vocabulary and reading topics — so the conversation is grounded in words you've actually been learning, not a generic lesson plan. Text input exists only as a fallback for when speaking genuinely isn't possible; the feature is built around real spoken production, because that's the thing typing can't give you.
There's a real cost trade-off, too. italki tutor sessions are typically priced per hour and add up quickly if you want frequent practice. Fluir's AI conversation is included in the subscription with a daily airtime allowance, so it works as low-friction, near-daily practice between the (optional) higher-touch sessions a human tutor provides.
If you want deep cultural insight and a real human relationship as part of your learning, a service like italki is worth keeping alongside anything else you use. If what you need is frequent, judgment-free, immediately-available speaking practice that's actually grounded in the words you're learning elsewhere in the app — reading and flashcards — that's the specific gap Fluir's conversation feature fills.

Tap any word while reading and it's saved into your vocabulary graph, with the real sentence you met it in.

A word only counts as truly learned once you've actually said it correctly in a spoken AI conversation.
No. Signup asks for no card and takes you straight into a real, full article — free. A card is only ever requested if you choose to start the 7-day trial after that first article.
Every article is checked by an automated CEFR difficulty gate before it's published, so it's genuinely pitched to the stated level — not simplified into unnatural textbook Spanish, and not native-speed text that outruns the level.
Each saved word enters your personal vocabulary graph, which also feeds your flashcard reviews and your AI conversation practice — one connected record of what you know, not three separate tools that don't talk to each other.
