• Talk Pal
  • flagged by Eva
  • good reviews on Reddit: Has anyone tried TalkPal AI rlearnfrench
  • overall good review by Lydia Melvin at Talkpal Review Our Insider Tips and Verdict 2024:
  • weaknesses:
    • No beginner level: “If you are at the very beginning of learning a new language, I would suggest trying out a different tool. But if you do have some experience with a language already, I would genuinely recommend trying out TalkPal.”
  • strengths:
    • “With TalkPal you can have real conversations, roleplay different situations and even have a fiery debate if you want!”
    • “The TalkPal AI is always learning and I love that everything is centred around the user themselves. With TalkPal you won’t be learning random sayings and words that you’ll never use. You’ll be learning exactly what you want!” - obvious
• Gliglish
  • by Fabien Snauwaert - Twitter / LinkedIn
• Proseable
  • “You don’t need to create an account to start learning a language. You can get straight into it by clicking on ‘Start chatting’. It’s a super accessible and easy to use tool, unfortunately Proseable only support 5 languages at the moment. Whereas TalkPal support over 50!”
• Openlang - couldn’t find this and website redirects to LangTurbo which seems to be completely different product
  • “With Openlang you’re able to view insights on your learning habits and how you can improve, you’ll feel like you’re constantly progressing. But, this does come at a price and is more expensive than TalkPal AI at $19/month.”
  • Seems like this is gone maybe?
  • Pronunciation tool: https://www.langturbo.com/en/learn/english/how-to-say
    • Extracts speech segments from podcasts
    • misses if phrase not found
    • not synthesis $\to$ extraction
    • example phrase: “How can I”
• Lingolette
