“Learning English was never just about communication,” Turaev said. “It opened doors to international work and career growth.”

But traditional language education fell short. Despite years of study, the founders found that while they could read and write fluently, they struggled to speak confidently when it mattered most: at work, in meetings, and in daily life. The gap between classroom learning and real-world fluency was wider than they’d imagined.

Praktika⁠⁠(opens in a new window) was built to close that gap. It’s a language learning app designed to help people build real-world fluency through daily conversations, with personalized AI tutors who guide them through interactive, goal-based lessons. Users include students preparing for exams, professionals working on job-related language skills, and immigrants building new lives in foreign countries.

As the product matured, Praktika moved beyond a single-model architecture into a multi-agent system designed to mirror how real tutors adapt lessons in real time.
