Hi guys, Hope everyone is well. This app was borne out of my own frustration. I thought that I was terrible at learning languages at school, since I didn't become conversational in French after 5 years of study. However, I later traveled with some French friends and, in just under 3 weeks, I was able to hold a reasonable conversation. I realized that there's no substitute for speaking to native speakers. I tried to adopt this approach for other languages, but it's much harder to find people to practise with when you aren't travelling. I started using iTalki to meet people from different…

Hey folks! I'm Callum, and I'm working on a way to practice a new language with an AI powered tutor. I've always found that the hardest part of learning a new language is finding someone to actually converse with. Even if a partner can be found, the pressure can mean that you are more focused on not making mistakes than on actually learning new grammar or vocabulary. The service that I have been working on allows you to practice with a language tutor via online chat messages, or you can have a turn-based voice conversation. I'm working on a number of other features that will be coming out…

Hey HN, I've been building an iOS app, called Lingocat, over the last few months to help language learners become fluent faster through conversational practice. Most language learning apps are over-indexed on repetitive vocab and grammar practice. This approach helps you improve reading + writing proficiency but will leave you unable to hold a conversation in your target language. Lingocat teaches you how to speak a new language using an AI language tutor who you'll practice speaking with, in your target language to complete a variety of exercises. Each lesson is focused on improving your…
