Hi Hunters, We just launched v1 of Respeakable, an AI-enhanced language tutor. We have two German lessons (Level A2, beginner to complete beginner) designed by a language-teacher friend of ours – feel free to try it out and give any feedback. We have been experimenting with learning languages (specifically French) using different vocabulary apps and tools. The issue is that apps like Duolingo are after your attention (their motto is “test everything”) rather than teaching you a language and are therefore hyper gamified and too easy – all about hijacking your dopamine system. The only viable solution seems to be to attend real-life courses. We always thought language learning is the perfect use-case for LLMs but we’ve been astounded at how bad all AI language tutors out there are, so we’ve decided to make a better one that we would actually use. Respeakable uses structured lessons that are much like real-life lessons and only use LLMs for certain exercises, where it makes sense. We also use FSRS (free spaced repetition scheduler) and word frequency lists for practicing vocabulary on flashcards efficiently. FSRS has been shown to increase speed of memorization by ~30%. As a by-the-by: FSRS is also just being rolled out in Anki for those that know it. We will be adding more lessons and features in the next few days so stay tuned.

Elisi : AI-powered Goal Management App

Respeakable sounds like a refreshing take on language learning! I love the focus on structured lessons, which seems much more aligned with real-life learning compared to the gamified approach of other apps. The use of LLMs where it actually makes sense, along with FSRS for optimized vocabulary retention, really sets it apart. It’s clear you’re designing this with genuine learning outcomes in mind rather than just keeping users hooked. Has anyone tried out the German lessons yet? I’d be curious to hear how it compares to other language learning tools you’ve used!

Sounds like a very cool tool for language learners! Just checked it out, and it looks promising for those looking to go beyond gamified apps and get some serious learning done. Congrats on the launch, Nicholas! Looking forward to seeing more lessons added soon.
