Most language apps teach you words in isolation and hope you will find a use for them. We built Hello Nabu the other way round: you create a character, choose a story and learn the language you need to live it, one chapter at a time. Every lesson, conversation and vocabulary review comes from the situations your character actually faces.
Nabu, your AI tutor, is with you throughout: you can speak or type, ask for a translation or an explanation, and get feedback on what you said. Progress is tracked against the CEFR scale from A1 to C2, so you always know where you stand and what comes next.
You learn the language your story needs, not a generic word list. A character opening a café practises ordering and small talk; a traveller practises directions and tickets.
Skills are tracked by CEFR level, from vocabulary to speaking, so you can see what you have mastered and what to practise next.
Start as a complete beginner or pick up at your level. Short sessions, hints and translations when you are stuck, and a tutor who never runs out of patience.
Co-Founder & CEO
Henri speaks French, English, Spanish and German. He didn't learn them from a textbook: he learned them by needing them, in conversations that mattered. That experience shaped Hello Nabu's conviction that a language is learned by living it. He leads product and strategy, and makes sure every feature helps people express ideas clearly and with confidence, not just pass quizzes.
Co-Founder & CTO
Anatole is the engineer behind Nabu. After years building software for international teams, he saw the same pattern everywhere: people had the skills but not the words. He builds the AI tutor, the speech recognition and pronunciation feedback, and the adaptive story engine, with one goal: practice that feels like talking to a patient tutor, available whenever you have five minutes.
Hello Nabu is designed for people who want to speak, not just to recognise words. Every part of the app pushes you towards a real conversation.
