Elon.io — Fast-paced, deep and free AI generated language courses
I've launched 25 AI-generated language courses. The main distinguishing features are that they're really fast-paced and unlimited in depth.
The courses are freely available. In the paid version you can ask more questions to the AI.

Hi guys! I made Elon.io, which is a fast-paced alternative to Duolingo and let's you to learn an unlimited amount for free.
I've just added the following AI generated language courses:
- Afrikaans
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- Esperanto
- Filipino
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Hausa
- Hungarian
- Icelandic
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Latin
- Malay
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Portuguese (as spoken in Brazil)
- Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal)
- Spanish (as spoken in Latin America)
- Spanish (as spoken in Spain)
- Swahili
- Swedish
- Vietnamese
The problem I had was that I wanted to learn languages and noticed that all options were both slow and incomplete. So therefore I created a fast-paced alternative that's unlimited in depth.
At Elon.io, you learn a language by translating sentences from English into the target language. I've added AI generated questions and answers to each sentence, such that you'll be able to understand what's going on in the new grammar that's introduced.
I still have quite a list of todo's among which are:
- Make the AI learn from user feedback which things are not clear yet or where it's going too fast, such that it can adjust its exercises and explanations accordingly
- Make courses from other languages than English, and into more languages than the ones mentioned above
Please let me know about your ideas, feedback and requests.
All content is freely available, but please consider choosing a paid subscription if you like it. I'd like to give this platform my full-time focus.

P.S. I know the name is silly. It was meant as a cool sounding acronym for "e-learning online". This was 10 years ago, when I didn't know the person with this name.

P.S. My apologies for having AI generated art instead of hiring a designer. I have almost no income from Elon.io at the moment
@erik_gerrits to be fair, the Hardcore Dutch AI generated Art was quite the reason why I clicked on it.
Maker
@davis_adams Yes, that's definitely the plan. The reason there isn't any at the moment is that making grammar lessons is currently not what AI is strongest at. I've been experimenting with that a lot, and eventually have had to drop it because the quality was simply too low to release it. Definitely going to retry this when better AI models appear.
Exactly what I've been looking for! I've tried Duolingo but it feels so slow and repetitive.

@tannu_kumari5 Thanks, that's great to hear! Let me know what you think of it after trying :)
I've been using Elon.io for like 10 days. The HARDCORE DUTCH course gets challenging very quickly (you can alt+tab because the lesson % will go down, and failing exercises with bring down the completion bar).
It is a commitment to do every course, feels like you are writing more than 150 sentences in order to progress...
But something REALLY weird happened... I remember 100% of what I learned the day before. Not a little bit, all of it. After 10 days and 5 lessons, I can already write simple phrases... I will complete all 100 lessons and give another review. This has potential to be way better than Duolingo.
Maker
@lordsp Thank you for the thorough comment Seb! Yes, the progress goes down with time when exercises in the lesson need to be repeated again. So if you make a mistake and the item is repeated in 30 seconds, in those 30 seconds it will consider you've "completed" the item, but when the 30 seconds have passed an you'll need to repeat it, it won't consider that item "completed" anymore, and therefore you see the progress go down.
I'm glad you remember so much after doing the lessons. That's the goal of Elon.io, making you go fast, but still ensuring that everything sticks into memory. I definitely hope it's doing a better job than Duolingo at that because I made this precisely with that intention :)
Definitely looking forward to that next review! Ik wens je veel succes!
I LITERALLY LOVE THIS WEBSITE, I have been searching for a free website to learn turkish and the turkish course u offer is the best (it includes grammar rules, vocabulary etc). Please create a separate hardcore Turkish course as well!!! It would be a great combination
Maker
@ioanna1111 Thank you so much for the kind words! Aah yes I hadn't launched an AI Turkish course because there was already a human one, but you're right. I should. On it!
Maker
@ioanna1111 I've now added the Turkish course. The first lesson isn't completed yet, but it's under (automatic) construction and should be completely finished within an hour. It's the first of the courses completely created by a new AI model (o3-mini with high reasoning effort), so I'm excited to see how it will turn out :)
I see Korean and Japanese, any chance of adding Chinese to the site too? I recently discovered this site and I LOVE it
Maker
@dhkwiseowl That's great to hear Wise Owl, thanks for letting me know :) I'm definitely planning to add Chinese as an AI course. I'll first have to figure out how to deal with how I make users write it (any ideas?), but it's definitely not at the bottom of my todo, as it's such an important language.
I started learning Japanese with Elon.io 5 years ago, and now I'm working part-time in Japan, achieving my dreams. It is easy to use and for some reason, Elon is the one website that I consistently come back to for language learning. Thank you Erik!

@joseph_wilson7 Thank you Joseph for the wonderful comment. Great to see you've managed to find a job in Japan! I wish you the best of luck!
Much better then expected! I really enjoy learning languages on elon.io
Hard enough exercises + simplistic ui with no distractions is exactly what I needed.
Thank you, mister Gerrits 😺

@olexander_chepil Thank you so much, Olexander! Great to hear you're finding the platform useful! :)
