ignore that other comment emphasizing the need to have humans involved in the loop during the self study/practice phase. I find that to be very outdated.

I've been able to teach myself French using Google Translate, Youtube, reading articles.

In the past it was a lot harder. Having to learn Japanese using cassette audio tapes, looking up words in dictionary, trying to imagine what the intonation should be, lots of guess work.

anything that helps me speed up this feedback loop is a win but the pricing needs work imho

again, don't be off put by excessively unrealistic standards from random HN accounts. take note and try to find what you can do but never let them drive your product. their aim is to take contrarian positions to maximize engagement/farm karma points, hardly representative of your target market.

Yep, agree, my goal is to make a lesson $1 max. Probably I will try to make a price lower and see how I can also make the cost of lesson for me lower by using different AI models.
