LANGUAGE PAIRS, EXPLAINED
How Glottie supports 806 language pairs
A language pair combines the language you want to speak with the language Glottie can use when an explanation helps. Treating those as two separate choices is what turns 29 supported languages into 806 valid learning paths.

The target language is the language you are practising. The support language is the language used for a timely explanation, a placement prompt, or a short clarification. They are not interchangeable settings, and changing one should never erase progress in another pair.
That distinction matters for learners who are multilingual. Someone may learn European Portuguese with English support, then start a separate Portuguese path with Spanish support. The destination is the same, but the useful comparisons and the amount of scaffolding can be different.
Why 29 languages produce 806 valid pairs
Glottie currently publishes 29 target languages and 29 support languages. A learner cannot select the same language family as both sides of one path where that would create a duplicate or conflicting pair, so the public catalog contains 806 valid combinations rather than every mathematical permutation.
Every public pair carries both canonical language codes into its landing page, App Store campaign, app deep link, onboarding selection, and progress record. That lets a learner move from a search result into the matching spoken placement without selecting the pair again.
The conversation is still the lesson
The large catalog does not mean one generic chat translated hundreds of ways. Glottie keeps the target variety, course progression, speaking situations, and learner evidence attached to the pair. Audio delivers the teaching move; text remains supporting material for captions, review, and progress.
Start with the pair that matches how you want help today. The support language can taper as your evidence improves, while your target-language course and history remain intact.
