Congratulations on the launch Matthew! Is this more focused on the practise side of things or is it more on the learning side of things?
Hi @matthew_podolak and @miroslav_dimitrov1 this seems like a fantastic approach to learning a new language. However, I don't see the extent of languages it covers on the website or app page. Of course, I'll be waiting for the Android version. Keep us all in the loop. Congratulations on the launch.
Hey! @matthew_podolak This sounds like a great way to learn a new language, especially since speaking is often the hardest part. I’m curious, how does the AI tutor know when you’re making a mistake? Does it adapt to your speaking style as you progress?
The concept is great, but would be nice having German language available 🇩🇪 Would like to test it out
This is amazing, congrats on the launch 🎉 Learning new languages has always been challenging for me, and none of the apps I've tried have helped. So I'm very excited to try this out! Can't wait to for more languages and Android support 😸
Speaking practice is an anxious practice for almost everybody. I believe any AI solution is very useful to achieve this. I really liked this cute solution.
This also saves manpower time and only consumes technology. When will it be launched?
Congrats on the launch, Matthew! Lingocat looks like a fantastic tool for building real conversational skills.
So simple and intuitive. Great work Matthew. I've been meaning to pick up a new language to learn
Hi, I’d like to ask, where did the inspiration for the product's icon design come from?
Congrats on the launch! Most language learning tends to focus on listening and memorization, but actually speaking the language is the most important and effective way to improve language proficiency. I like the product!
I recommend Lingocat for those who want to master the spoken language quickly! Instead of boring vocabulary memorization, the app offers fun exercises with an AI mentor to help you improve your communication skills in a new language.
Congrats for the idea and the launch @matthew_podolak and @miroslav_dimitrov1 ! 🎉 It seems like you have created an awesome product. I'm very curious about it! Your approach combining conversational practice with real-time AI tutor and progress and vocab tracking sounds promising! Unfortunately I can't test it now as I don't have an iOS device. 1. When do plan have an Android version? 2. What are the next features on your roadmap?
looks nice but how can a beginner know a conversational reply, user needs to learn basics then he can use the app as far as I observed.
Curious about how AI can teach us better than standard human methods for foreign language given that AI seems to have learned languages in ways we don't yet understand. I've also thought that there must be other more effective methods of learning by concentrating on principles like Zipfs Law: https://youtu.be/fCn8zs912OE?t=4... to focus on words that are more used first to have the essential list of the top 100 words etc before you start talking about "taking an airplane" or "having a passport" etc
Love the app and congratulations on the launch! I'm excited for more types of conversations in the future to come, I think it'd be fun to play games like 20 Questions where the user needs to ask questions to find out information. My favourite feature is the hints -- when I feel uncertain how to proceed with a conversation, it's helpful to use those to bridge the gap and get the conversation flowing without feeling intimidated.
