What is Zubro?

Zubro is a voice-first English learning companion. You talk, Zubro listens, responds, corrects your grammar, and adapts to your level – all through real-time voice conversation. No typing, no multiple choice, no textbook exercises. Just a conversation with a patient AI tutor who happens to be a European bison wearing a green scarf.
A quick note on the name. In Polish, żubr (pronounced roughly “zhoobr”) means European bison – a national symbol and the largest land animal in Europe. I took the dot above the ż in the original Polish spelling, moved it to the end of the word, and got zubro. A slightly mangled version of a Polish word, used to teach English. Felt appropriate.
