Running in schools today
The path the speaking sits on.
A speaking app gives you the loop; Carna gives you the curriculum around it. In Carna for Schools, which runs today, every module a student is assigned wears its CEFR level and the list runs soonest due first, so a learner always knows which rung of the A1 to C2 ladder they are working on.
A student's Learn screen in Carna for Schools: the assigned modules, each with its CEFR level and the skills it works on, sorted by due date. Carna School London is a sample school; the names, courses, levels and scores are demo data.
FAQ
Common questions.
Straight answers about Praktika and Carna, including how this comparison was built and what the individual tutor cannot do yet.
Is Carna cheaper than Praktika?
Praktika is a consumer app with paid plans; check its site for current prices. Carna has no individual plan to buy yet, so there is nothing to weigh against it on price: the early-access list is the individual way in, and joining costs nothing.
Does Carna do everything Praktika does?
No. Conversation with AI avatars is Praktika's product, and exam lessons are part of it. Carna answers both with a partly: practice is assigned in Carna for Schools and in beta, and a practice grading reports an IELTS band without an exam course. What Carna adds is a levelled path from A1 to C2 with eight skills scored.
Can I switch from Praktika to Carna?
Not on your own yet. The early-access list is how you hear first when individual access opens; schools and teams run on Carna today.
How did you build this comparison?
Each row asks the same question of both columns. The Praktika column reflects the plans and features Praktika publishes, as we checked them in May 2026. Carna is held to the same standard, so where it falls short we say so: individual learners join an early-access list today. "Partly" means a feature exists with a limit, and the limit is named under the row. Products change quickly, so check Praktika's own site for the latest.
