Hello 🇺🇸, Bonjour 🇫🇷 and Hola 🇪🇸 Product Hunt community! We're super excited to launch a massive new update for LangAI - The easiest and most natural way to become fluent in a new language. 👨‍💻 We're a small team of makers that all speak different native languages - German, English, French, Spanish. So we understand how important it is to learn languages. I myself speak 3 languages and am learning the 4th one. 🤔 Something we noticed is that current language learning apps don't actually make you confident in speaking a new language - they mostly teach you vocabulary and grammar, help you understand what is being said but you never get to actually practice speaking freely. 🔥 I have an 800+ streak on Duolingo and yet I don't find the confidence to just speak freely in the language that I'm learning. Something here must be broken. 🛠️ So we decided to build our own solution to this problem: Becoming fluent and confident speaking a new language. We first launched last year and received a lot of useful feedback from the community. So here's what we built since then: ⭐️ Massive overhaul of the entire app including the UI, the core functionality of the app & availability for both iOS and Android. You won't recognize it! ☕️ Real-life scenarios: We built 10+ scenarios so you can practice everyday situations like ordering a coffee, buying a train ticket or even going to the doctor! 👶 Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced modes: You can set the skill level and the conversation will be adjusted so that you have the exact right level of difficulty: Not too easy to be boring and not too difficult to be overwhelming. 🌏 Support for 90+ mother tongues: Even if you're not super comfortable speaking english, you'll be able to use our app! The corrections and menu settings are translated into almost every major language spoken around the world We are really excited to share this with you and would love to get as much Feedback as possible. The app has a premium version but is free to use for everyone so please give it a try and let us know what you think 🙏

@fabian_m LangAI is the perfect next step after you've learned your basics on an app like Duolingo and Babel to *actually* become conversational or fluent! Excited to finally be able to talk with your mom in fluent German 🇩🇪 🫡

@fabian_m me and my team have recently deconstructed big part of Duolingo Engagement Strategy (how they use prompts and reinforcing rewards to drive habitual use). I can spare 1h for a call to share insights with your team if you like. I am a behavior designer by trade. I lead a BX/UX/UI design studio focused on applying behavioral psychology to effectively drive high frequency engagement, retention and viral growth. Thus the interests in deconstructing best players on the market ;)

Love the implementation. I tried Portuguese, which I'm currently learning with Duolingo - tottaly different experience, in a good way. Too many questions before initial set up in my opinion, but feels great anyway. Good luck!

@vorniches Thanks for the feedback Sergei! Making the onboarding simpler is definitely something I've been considering. Are you seeing any problems with learning Portuguese on Duolingo that you would like to see addressed?
Sergei Vorniches
@fabian_m Since I am learning Portuguese in quite lazy mode, Duolingo doing just fine. But say I will work on it more, and what I will need then is exactly what LangAI provides – live chat with instant language theory references.

The new real-life scenario feature is a game-changer for language learners! What a fabulous way to get comfortable with everyday situations. At Checky Bear, we also believe in the power of tailor-made experiences, especially when it comes to website monitoring. We're curious, how did you manage to calibrate the language difficulty levels so accurately?
Paul Sobiecki
@fabian_m The bespoke approach to AI training that you've detailed is impressive! I can see how a tailored icebreaker can effectively set the tone for each interaction. It's a strategy that Checky Bear also leverages—we adjust the complexity of our alerts and reports based on user expertise, ensuring accessibility and comprehensibility regardless of the user's technical level. It's all about creating a dialogue, whether with a human language or the language of data, that's equally intuitive and useful. It’s exciting how your team's dedication to contextual understanding is parallel to our commitment to user-centric monitoring. Keep up the groundbreaking work! 🌟🐻

Cool! I studied French in school for many years but never got to practice in a real setting. I haven’t gotten much out of Duolingo and always said what I need is to practice taking to real life French children (lol) because that’s my level. Excited to try it!
Fabian Martin

@sarah_wright7 We don't have children working for us (lol) but our AI will definitely allow you to practice in simple French!

Hey Fabian, congrats on the launch! I've been on a 424-day streak on Duolingo, but I feel like learning there has become quite repetitive and boring. This looks interesting, I'll definitely try it out later

@simontunaitis Thanks Simon! I'm at 800+ now and I feel the same, it's mostly going through the motions now to keep the streak going. I definitely learned a lot from Duolingo and I don't wanna talk bad about it but I think once you have the basics down it's best to just get talking.
Pam Garza
bonjour! ooo la la... thats all I know 😝. But I DREAM of speaking french... maybe now with this app 😏 🙌 I do wonder... what is your most used language being practiced on the app? Also, LOVE the "real life scenarios" would be very cool to have a section to request scenarios and maybe even have other members reply. Congrats on your launch!
Fabian Martin
Maker
@pamsny Thank you Pam! It's pretty even between Spanish and English being #1. English being so popular was one of the main reasons we decided to support other mother tongues and translated the app into 90+ languages. Most of my family speaks German natively and are trying to learn English and they weren't really able to use the app before this update. French is actually what I'm also learning right now so I can guarantee it works well haha. Love the idea of being able to request scenarios and having other members reply! Thanks for the suggestion.

@shushant_lakhyani Thank you Shushant, we poured our hearts and souls into this! Are you already learning a language or just interested in the idea in general?

@vitor_pvsoares Thank you Vítor! We've put a lot of effort into making the scenarios as realistic as possible. I'm currently in Porto, Portugal and it helped me order at Starbucks in Portuguese
