@phanos_anastasiou The Shell to full-stack journey in 6 months is genuinely impressive - that's a massive career pivot with real output to show for it.
What caught my attention is the "perfect bridge from Duolingo to real conversations" positioning for ChickyTutor. We've seen this gap with our international team - people can read documentation but freeze up in actual calls. Your "AI as cofounder" approach for learning to code is exactly what more people should be doing instead of traditional courses.
1. Who It's For: Chickytutor is a great tool for intermediate speakers and even that very first speaking practice. It's perfect for learners who've already picked up some basics with apps like Duolingo and are ready to start speaking out loud without the cost and scheduling hassles of finding a tutor, and without the pressure of stumbling through conversations with native speakers before you're ready.
2. Speaking Focus: It's built around out-loud practice. You interact with a real-time AI voice tutor that responds instantly, correcting pronunciation, guiding word choice, and keeping you speaking throughout the lesson.
3. Core Method: Instead of memorization, you translate between your native language and the target language while reasoning your way into the grammar. The AI tutor explains why something is said a certain way, so you start thinking in the language rather than just memorizing phrases.
4. Simplicity: Super simple flow: pick a language → hit the mic → start speaking. Short focused sessions, no fluff, immediate feedback.
5. 70+ Languages: Chickytutor supports 70+ languages, including popular but hard-to-find ones like Japanese, Korean and Arabic that other apps don't handle as well. It also supports really niche languages like Norwegian or even Catalan so you can practice even if your target language isn't offered by the mainstream apps.
6. Real User Impact: Here's what one user said on Reddit: 'Your app is awesome! It got me over the first hump to actually speak Dutch, because I was still too nervous to practice with native speakers. Now I use Dutch confidently with my colleagues in the Netherlands and with people at my store in Berlin. Your app really made the difference for my speaking!'"

Hi Product Hunt! I’m Phanos, founder of ChickyTutor.
A year ago, I quit my job and launched ChickyTutor. We’ve since reached 10,000 users, and it’s time for the next step!
Over the past year, I’ve received more messages than I can count from learners saying they’ve stopped going to class and use ChickyTutor instead. Some say they’re learning much faster.
But something was still missing. The best private tutors are not just personalised and adaptive. They also bring empathy and… a whiteboard?
So we’re trying two new things:
AI + humans! We’ve partnered with L’école de français to combine teacher-led French classes with daily AI practice between lessons. Cohorts for motivation, teachers for accountability and cultural insights, and Chickytutor to practise with throughout the week :)
AI tutor + whiteboard! Your tutor can now explain a language pattern visually, show examples and give you an exercise to work through during your conversation. You can see what you’re learning, try it yourself and discuss it with your tutor.
The whiteboard is still in beta, so turn it on in Settings to give it a try!
