Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between British and American English?

Beyond spelling (colour and color), many everyday words differ: a lift is an elevator, a flat is an apartment, rubbish is trash. Multi Lingo AI keeps British and American English as separate practice languages and marks the words one says differently from the other.

Is there an app for British English, not American?

Yes. In Multi Lingo AI British English is its own practice language, with stories, culture pieces, jokes and word games written for it and read aloud in a British accent.

Does it replace my English course or teacher?

No. It is a practice companion for the gaps a course leaves: local words, slang and the things your teacher explained that did not quite stick.
