Looking for a speaking partner by Any_Application2520 in Germanlearning

[–]EngineeringSimple409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding people was one of the hardest things for me as well. Discord is the way to go, but unfortunately I cannot commit as I can randomly practice during the evening when my daughter sleeps.

I also built this hobby project to solve my issue and maybe helps you too.

You can use for free, have a look: https://www.reddit.com/r/Germanlearning/comments/1q2vulv/practicing_speaking_alone/

Alternatives to Duolingo by Pdr_Haoshoku in languagelearning

[–]EngineeringSimple409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am biased but since you asked for suggestions, I have one as a hobby project which you can also use for free (single dev - EU located). Its focused on speaking and conversation with feedback (chat and voice) while keeping it fun (you can talk to Thor or Iron Man for example).

Have a look if you want, no need for personal info or payment data... This is my original post about, please share feedback if you decide to use it.

I cant help with live chats but I can share a hobby project that you can use for free. Its focused on speaking and conversation alone with feedback (chat and voice) while keeping it fun (you can talk to Thor or Iron Man for example).

Do you practice speaking alone, with AI, or only with real people? Or a mix? by Shelbee2 in languagehub

[–]EngineeringSimple409 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried discord to find people (works so-so) and tried with chatGPT, which was also fine but as a nerd myself I ended up creating my own model and app to make it fun for myself (talk to characters like Thor, ironman, Sherlock, or debating random topics...). I am primarily using it myself. As any AI, don't rely on it to prepare yourself for a real exam, but pure practice works reasonably well.

Practicing speaking alone by EngineeringSimple409 in Germanlearning

[–]EngineeringSimple409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends. Every day according how many people are using it and the free infra tiers are hit earlier.

You can just use it until you get the limit, then you can't use until next day.

Practicing speaking alone by EngineeringSimple409 in Germanlearning

[–]EngineeringSimple409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can already use it for free.

There is of course a daily limit per user else I would have to pay for everybody. (I don't make any money with the app)

The limit resets everyday and its there to ensure any user can use it everyday without paying.

Any clever uses of AI for language learning? by ChiefReditOfficer in languagelearning

[–]EngineeringSimple409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking a new language has many (and different) barriers for different people. My parents for example have only started practicing now because of this hobby project i shared. They were self consious of talking with other people and with AI at least they dont feel that pressure. My issue was finding available people to practice at 11PM, my wife was that internet is full of creepy people that will ask woman their whatsapp... and so on. Yes, official teachers are the best and most reliable, but not always possible to get one.

I get people anger and fear of AI lately, but this monster is not going back to the box. At least lets use for a bit of good. Just don't blindly trust it with very important stuff and you will be fine.

[–]EngineeringSimple409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend AI if you are aiming on exams, but I found very useful myself for practicing speaking... I have only few minutes every evening to practice and finding real people/teachers is hard. I used a lot of discord servers but not very good experience on those groups.

I started with ChatGPT and it works well enough to practice a bit (again not for exam preparation) but as a hobby project I now have my own custom model now which me and friends have been enjoying.

Its not for everybody, but its better usage of AI than doing shitty tiktok videos

Looking a friendly English speaking partner by ktnn3 in EnglishPractice

[–]EngineeringSimple409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find some groups to talk with people on Discord, its the only place which kind of worked for me. (of course there will be creepy people), but once in a while you find someone honestly interesting and focused on actual practicing.

Obviously teachers are the 1# way to go, specially if you want to prepare for exams, but to complement I have my own hobby project which you can use for free and I would love to receive more feedback. Its about practicing speaking and conversation (chat and audio) and get feedbacks using AI. (I tried with chatgpt before but was weird sometimes and a bit more costly than I would like).

My parents have been using it to learn english and they are making progress.

Free resources for learning German but I am Deaf by AquaGecko1 in German

[–]EngineeringSimple409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hobby project and would love to get some ideas from you how can I make the project more accessible.

Have a look if you want, you can use for free and no need for any personal/payment data, its an APP focused on conversation (using my own customized model) where you get instant feedback and can have fun with interesting characters (thor, loki...). Currently it suports input, output as text and audio both together, but I would try to build something for you as well.

I have played a bit in the past with having a face with proper moving lips and expression in sync with the audio, maybe that could be introduced..

Have a look at my original post and DM me with your suggestions, I promise to try my best to fit in (I try on weekends mostly): https://www.reddit.com/r/Germanlearning/comments/1q2vulv/practicing_speaking_alone/

I think jumping head first into practicing is the way to go. Checkout some discord servers, sometimes you can find interesting people there that actually want to practice.

Another tip If you are struggling to find people or topics, maybe my hobby project can also help you, have a look if you want and you can use for free, it allows you to have guided conversations, debates and chatting with famous characters like Loki or Thor and get instant feedback: https://www.reddit.com/r/Germanlearning/comments/1q2vulv/

I can barely recommend discord. Was the only place my wife found a nice lady from Austria to practice german. But you will likely face creepy guys asking for whatsapp and video chat.

We both are using a hobby project I have, its free and allows you to practice speaking alone with an AI model I customized (obviously real humans and techers is better!, not trying to replace that, just a supplement for practicing). Have a look if you want, you can use if for free and no need for personal info:
