Hello, my name is Michal Měchura and I am the author of Native Dialogs.

Native Dialogs is dedicated to the memory of my old teacher of English (as a second language) whose favourite teaching tool was simulated dialogs. He would have us memorise pre-scripted chat routines and then reinact them, either in front of class or in a language lab. I strangely enjoyed it: it was like having a real-world conversation, but safe in the knowledge that nothing can go wrong. It helped me a lot on my way to confidence and fluency in the language.

Years later, I built Native Dialogs for those who, like me, enjoy practicing a language through simulated dialogs. The website brings you a brand new chat routine every day. With Native Dialogs you can practise what it's like to live through the language you are learning: currently we have Irish, German French and Czech.

I hope you enjoy improving your language skills with Native Dialogs. The road to fluency begins here!
