| In my opinion the best way to learn a language (outside of moving to a different country) is to get a personal tutor and have consistent 1 on 1 lessons. I used Preply or iTalki for this back in the day but had issues with flexibility and pricing. I've been trying to simulate the experiences that I had on those platforms with a voice agent. You can try a demo for free here (or watch a video of me using it on the landing page): https://lingle.ai/tryout/lingle-showcase Right now the agent can plan a lesson with visuals and a conversation focus, guides the user through the lesson - correcting and explaining things on a whiteboard if necessary, and asks relatively engaging questions. There is also a long term user model that builds over time, that maintains memory of the user's produced vocabulary, grammar, and skills, meant to make each lesson informed by the past and build on the user's knowledge (obviously this is still relatively fragile in practice). The voice agent itself has actually decent latency, especially given that turn detection was a bit of a challenge given that language learners often speak slowly and struggle when they're thinking, so I had to build with that in mind. Anyways I wanted to get some feedback on the product. I think it's quite a different take on language learning tools than those that currently exist. |
Also I've personally never tried it, but there was a fairly popular video based language chat tutor program called Call Annie which seems similar (talk with a virtual tutor who manages plan/vocab/etc). I don't think its active anymore but it might be a good reference point for you in terms of product fit.
