PolyglotGPT

Hi HN! I'm trying to learn a language, but I don't have anyone to speak it with, so I made this website to get some practice. To start, all you have to do is set your native language and target language. Then, just start talking to it in either your native or target language. It'll catch any mistakes you make when you speak in your target language and answer any grammar/vocab questions you have. It has a translate button, a romanize button (converts any text into the Latin alphabet), and you can highlight words/phrases you don't know in AI responses to have them explained. I'd…

    Learn a language quickly by practising speaking with AI2023 · prettypolly.app · ▲325

    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…

    Hi everyone, Let me introduce you to Quazel, where we want to enable people to talk their way to fluency. We have all tried various language learning apps and tools, however, one aspect of language learning current services are really bad at is conversational practice. You might get a chat-like interface, but in the end, the conversation partner will only respond with a predefined "if the users say X I say Y". With Quazel that's completely different. In completely dynamic and unscripted conversation you can talk about pretty much anything you want. For example, you can try ordering food at a…

    LearnLingo – Converse with an AI-powered language tutor2023 · learnlingo.dev · ▲157

    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…
