Teacher · Translator · Advisor
Every traveler once had a dragoman. Now you do.
For centuries, the dragoman walked beside you through a foreign city — teaching you the language, translating the room, and telling you what not to say. Dragoman is that guide, and you talk to it out loud. It remembers you, and its job is to make itself unnecessary.

drag·o·man /ˈdraɡəmən/
noun · from Arabic tarjumān, interpreter
An interpreter and guide to travelers in the lands of the Levant — part teacher, part translator, part trusted advisor.
I.
Teacher
Builds your ability to speak.
You talk; it corrects you briefly and kindly, the way a fluent friend would. Every word and grammar pattern you meet is tracked and woven back into conversation right when you're about to forget it.
II.
Translator
Bridges the gap, then hands it back.
Stuck? It gives you the words, then makes you say them yourself. Translations sit under every spoken line in voice — until the day you switch them off and don't notice.
III.
Advisor
Tells you how it's really done.
Argentine or Castilian, Parisian or Québécois — you learn how people actually talk where you're going, with the cultural notes that keep you from sounding like a textbook.
The difference
A guide, not a game. No streaks to protect. No owl to disappoint.
Most language apps turn learning into a chore you can fail. Dragoman doesn’t keep score against you. There’s no yesterday’s-you to fall behind — only a guide who’s glad you showed up, and a real conversation to have right now.
Real conversation, not flashcards
Seventy percent talk, thirty percent quick exercises the guide drops in when they help — never a deck to grind.
It remembers you, not the small talk
Your goals, preferences, and patterns carry across every session. You can see — and edit — exactly what it remembers.
You set the intensity
Say "push me harder," "take it easy," or "be brutal." Your guide dials the difficulty to you — your call, any time.

That’s just the starter set. In a voice session your guide invents a brand-new scenario every time — endless, and tuned to you.
Speak. Be understood. Get better.
Start free with 20 messages a day; $5 a month makes text unlimited, with a memory that sticks. Voice is pay-as-you-go credit — and it’s where the dragoman comes alive: a natural voice that hears you through your accent, answers in real time, and lets you cut in whenever you’re ready. Voice is free while in beta.
The best guide makes itself unnecessary.
