Why I Built Echo
When I was learning Chinese, I faced a problem that millions of language learners know too well: I had nobody to practice speaking with.
Apps taught me vocabulary and grammar, but speaking? That required real conversations—and those were hard to find. So I built Echo.
Echo is designed to bring immersion back to language learning. Instead of flashcards and multiple choice questions, you speak. From day one. Just like you learned your first language.
