Detailed Review

Kwiziq starts from a different question than the vocabulary apps: not "which words don't you know" but "which grammar rules don't you actually have." Its Brainmap tracks exactly which points you've mastered and which you haven't across French or Spanish grammar, and an AI study coach, Kwizbot, builds a personalised plan from the gaps rather than working through a fixed syllabus in order.

That makes Kwiziq a poor first app and a strong second one — it assumes you already have a working base and diagnoses precisely where it is thin, through micro-challenges and quizzes rather than full lessons. For an intermediate learner who plateaus because they keep making the same three mistakes without knowing it, that diagnostic focus is more useful than another beginner-friendly course.

Kwiziq Ltd is a London company, founded in 2012, whose founders have been recognised as UK EdTech Founder of the Year. A free plan offers ten kwizzes a month; paid plans run from about €14.92 a month billed annually up to €28.49 monthly, with a 7-day money-back guarantee. The scope is narrow by design: only French and Spanish, and nothing here teaches you to speak — it only tells you, precisely, what to fix.

What Kwiziq does well

  • Brainmap pinpoints exactly which grammar rules are weak
  • AI-personalised study plan rather than a fixed syllabus
  • Genuinely useful for intermediate learners who have plateaued
  • Free plan available; 7-day money-back guarantee on paid plans
  • UK company recognised with EdTech founder awards

Where Kwiziq falls short

  • Only French and Spanish
  • Not a starting point for complete beginners
  • Diagnostic focus, not a substitute for vocabulary or speaking practice
  • UK jurisdiction: adequacy decision rather than EU establishment

Standout feature. A map of what you don't know: Kwiziq is the only tool here that tells an intermediate learner exactly which grammar rule is holding them back, rather than another generic lesson.
