Parla - AI-powered English teacher

We decided to develop Parla because many people in the world still can’t afford hiring an English teacher or attending English courses as it’s rather expensive. There are many English learning apps, but most of them have a standard programme for training words and grammar. We believe that AI will change the way people learn, and will make education affordable to everyone and more effective. We started with English, but our plan is to "digitalize" all languages and all fields of education (like mathematics, physics etc). In Parla we used the following technology: * Parla’s algorithms analyse user’s data, mistakes, speed of learning - and basing on this data she builds up personal learning programme and tells user what to learn next. * Parla’s algorithm automatically defines when user has learned the new word or grammar rule, analysing the frequency of repeats an amount of mistakes, and builds the curve of forgetting for each word or rule. * Also we use Google’s Tensor Flow to entangle answer options. For example, for word «snow» answer options will be flow, blow, glow, rain, thunder, ice, storm. * Parla has algorithm, that analyses, in which skills user makes mistakes more often (reading, pronunciation, writing, translation or listening) and gives more exercises on the skill user makes more mistakes in. * Parla has her own emotions like a real teacher. If a student misses lessons or makes many mistakes - she can be angry and scold him. If student succeeds - she is happy. At the moment she has 5 moods. Sometimes she even says funny jokes. First version of Parla will be able to teach English to Spanish and Russian native speakers in 24 countries. She also will have an English-English version (to see how it works). We invite you to get «Early access» to Parla at our website: http://getparla.com Android users will get access code and link to app after filling up the form on the website. iOs users will get early access in 1-2 months. Please, remember, it’s a beta version, so if you find any bugs, please, share them with us at contact[at]parla.com so we can fix them. Thanks for your interest and support!

+1, fantastic idea, May be you read my mind? I'm searching for this kind of app since months :) Can't wait to see it live, I'm sold!

I was waiting for an application that can give recommendations and will not interfere with teaching myself, this is real way for me to improve language skill. Can't waited for new exercises!

Pros:

Amazing idea!

Cons:

I'm waiting for more languages.

Amazing! the day might be far when AI will take over human teachers, but, this surely is paving the towards it.

Congratulations! Still haven't got my code! When will you send it?)

Pros:

I like the idea. It is like a your additional mind in a smartphone

Cons:

Grammar trainings are truly difficult: I got stuck with the word order and correct form of verb several times. Made a stupid mistake like "I chosen to go to school" and even didnt understand what was wrong for a couple of minutes

Pros:

When learn "to ride", it proposes "go, walk, run, ski". Don't know what algorithm it uses, but it seems really cool!

Cons:

Can learn only english :(

Great idea! Would love to test it and post a review!

I want to try )))

Pros:

Interesting idea and possible perspectives.

Cons:

Add more languages to learn.

WOW! 21st century for AI... only. The right decision, guys.
