Hi, everyone! 👋 I'm Lars and I'm have been learning French for almost a year. I created Imitate because I have been struggling to find good tools to practice pronunciation. In order to be good, you need a lot of practice, but you also need feedback. The way musicians and actors improve is by recording themselves and listening to the recordings. They make small adjustments until it sounds the way they want. Why not do the same as a language learner? Imitate is a tool that will help you practice your pronunciation. It has a library of small video-segments from YouTube, and lets you practice imitating them using the practice chamber. I haven't added support for other languages than French yet, but feel free to test it anyway, or sign up for the waitlist of another language. Would love to hear feedback!

Hi Lars, really smart tool! I'm French and I'm waiting for the integration for other languages.
Lars Karbo
@yesnoornext Awesome! Which other languages are you interested in?
Vincent Denise
@larskarbo I'm learning to speak German and pronunciation is a tricky point especially with my French accent 😅

Great idea! I already shared it with my newsletter of French learners and heard lots of positive feedback. I can't wait to see what will come next for Imitate! :)
Lars Karbo
@growwithless Very grateful for that! Happy to bring value to your french learners, you are doing a great job.
John Brown
Nice. Will you launch other languages too?
Lars Karbo
@jbrowntheking Yes, for sure! I'm doing French first to figure out the exact focus of the app. Which direction to take it. When I nail that I will expand. I have waitlists for English, Chinese, Russian, German and Norwegian on the site.

Great job @larskarbo! Always making great tools for everyone to use!
Lars Karbo
@bengillin Thanks🙌🙌
Benny Lewis
Great concept!
Monica Lent
I love the concept. When I was learning German, it was so hard to pronounce things correctly. Every time the teacher would say a sound, and i said it, i thought it was the same. I would've never known without feedback. This looks like a super smart way to nail the pronunciation through systemic practice!
Lars Karbo
@monicalent Thanks! That's the exact core issue I'm tackling with this app🙌
