Praktika is a language-learning app built around personalized AI avatar tutors that let learners practice speaking in realistic, human-like conversations. Unlike text-first apps, Praktika focuses on tone of voice and spoken interaction, with avatars that speak in different accents and adapt lessons based on how each learner responds. The company reports around 1.2 million monthly active users across 100 countries and roughly $20M in annual revenue. Founded in 2022 by Adam Turaev, Anton Marin, and Ilya Chernyakov, Praktika raised a $35.5M Series A led by Blossom Capital in May 2024, following an earlier $2.5M seed led by Creator Ventures with Blue Wire Capital, with angel participation from Carles Reina of ElevenLabs.
