Learning a new language can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not yet comfortable enough to dive into real conversations. Without the confidence to connect, it’s easy to feel stuck and unsure of how to improve.

Build Language Confidence at Your Own Pace

With Slowly, you can practice a new language without the pressure of instant replies. Each letter gives you a chance to carefully choose your words, explore new vocabulary, and refine your phrasing. Instead of rushing, you can fully engage with the language, expanding your skills naturally with every letter. It’s a practical, enjoyable way to build confidence in a new language through writing—perfect for those just starting out or looking to improve.

Connect with Penpals and Practice Writing in Any Language

Slowly makes it easy to connect with real people around the world. Exchanging letters with international penpals transforms practice into a shared experience, turning language learning into something personal and motivating. Each new friend encourages you to try new expressions, ask questions, and continue learning, knowing there’s someone on the other end who values your connection.

Take, for example, Slowly user Japanblossom, who used the app to practice Chinese with penpals from China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. With each letter, they grew more confident in expressing themselves. Connecting with native speakers taught them much more than vocabulary—they gained cultural insights too. Or think of Kiwiti, a young learner from Vietnam who built confidence in English by sharing her stories with friends around the world. Each letter expanded her vocabulary and helped her grow, all because she found people she truly wanted to connect with.

A Journey Worth Taking—One Letter at a Time

Although Slowly isn’t specifically a language learning app, many users have found it to be a great way to practice writing while building connections across cultures. Each letter becomes a meaningful step toward fluency, supported by friendships that make the journey exciting. Join Slowly today and discover how thoughtful practice—and the right friends—can open doors to new words and worlds.
