Sylvi is a conversation-first language learning app helping people practise real dialogues.

Founded 2024

In Sylvi's words

“People don’t learn languages by memorising random words, they learn by practicing real conversation. Born from personal frustration, Sylvi builds the skills and confidence required to hold real-world conversations, so you don’t freeze while ordering a coffee in Paris. From personalised lesson plans to chats with other learners or AI penpals, every feature has a conversation-first approach and is enhanced with AI-powered corrections and explanations.”

In FIGR's words

“We were Sylvi consumers before we were investors, and Fiona (our MD) found the app to be a gamechanger for her own language learning. After getting to know the team, investing felt like a natural next step. Sylvi combines two sectors of interest for FIGR: consumer and education. We are thrilled to be backing this exciting startup to make high-quality, conversational language learning more accessible.”
