Lingle - Agentic language lessons over zoom
by•
Lingle simulates the learning experience of working with a personalized online tutor - one that remembers and plans for you long term, proactively directs lessons, responds in realtime with visuals - without the commitment and hundred-dollar monthly fees of scheduling with a human.

Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Andrew, co-founder @ Lingle.
When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time learning languages. When I became very serious about it, I found an online tutor through Preply and met with him several times a week.
However, as I became more busy in college, I found it harder and harder to coordinate times to meet and it became more difficult for me to justify spending 50 dollars a lesson at 8 lessons a month when my learning was inconsistent.
I tried switching to various apps, but quickly found that they were not at all rigorous or flexible enough for my needs.
Most language learning products market themselves as "tutors" when in reality they're better described as dressed up learning modules with flashcard support or a stateless voice bot with roleplay (or all of the above).
At Lingle, we are trying to recreate that exact experience of meeting with a human tutor from front to end with:
-realtime lessons over a zoom-like interface
-a lesson plan, whiteboard, and more that the tutor controls
-long term memory about the user to manage progress
-personalized feedback for improvement
...and much more!

@andrew_hou Strongly resonate with this pain point as someone who also learned Japanese in high school. None of the other AI apps worked for me. Excited to give Lingle a try!
@darweenist Glad to hear it! Curious if you ever also had experiences with tutors? As the tech keeps getting better we're trying to bridge that gap between "app" experience and "tutor" experience if you know what I mean.

@andrew_hou I only learned from my high school teacher so can’t speak to private tutors, but I definitely feel the gap between my teachers and the apps. I’m not sure how much of it can be solved by AI though - maybe part of it is just having a human keep you accountable and motivate you. I’m sure you have thought about it more though!

@andrew_hou This is super cool! I used Duolingo to learn languages in the past but it always feels more gimmick than actual learning, so appreciate that learning is the focus here. Do you have flashcards/ spaced repetition also built-in? I find that helpful for learning. Will definitely give it a try, and congrats on the launch!
@edrei_chua Definitely considering adding spaced repetition support in the future!

Nice! This might be the best way to learn a new language.
@jahooma Appreciate it!

This looks awesome 👏🏻 One of the best AI language tutor implementations I’ve seen. Can’t wait to try it out!
@declan_goncalves Thank you!!

looks way more helpful than duolingo
@andydy25 Thanks so much man! Let me know any thoughts if you end up trying it!
The UI is impressive👍.
One small wish: possible to support English learning (for people who already know a language but want to be better, with instructions in that language)? I might have missed it during onboarding and I can't go back any more.
@xiaohuan_li Would be happy to add this feature in the future! Will keep you updated :)
