Really nice! I tried Russian. A few comments. (Also please add Hebrew and Arabic) - The level was too high for me and I wasn't sure how to ask the teacher to ask me something simpler. She did say something about talking slower but my problem was with not understanding specific words. (OK, I see now that the text can be translated so that should help) 2. The suggestions assume you can read the langue but often it's not the case when one learns to speak. I don't see a translation option for the suggestions (adding pronunciation might help; can be English text) 3. It's a bit slow. I totally understand why but I think in order for users to have long conversations, speed is crucial. 4. I would be happy to pay for something like this. I think it could make sense to target kids. Many parents, me included, would be happy to pay for their kids to use something like this. I'm assuming Doulingo are going to add something similar but don't let that distract you. Great job!

yep if you could find a way to engage kids and keep them talking, even for ~5 minutes, this would be such a huge win for parents encouraging language-learning

Hey! Thank you for taking the time! 1. Wanna go full-in on customization. Right now you can customize by telling the teacher what you want to talk about, but I can imagine in the near future the AI figuring where you stand and adapting as you go along. Matter of (coding) time. 2. You're right. I will add translations and audio to the suggestions. Something more urgent always came up but your feedback helps prioritize this. 3. Could you expand on this? Do you mean in terms of waiting for the answer? I've experience slowdowns when OpenAI is over capacity but generally it works well. Do you mind sharing where you used it from (country)? 4. Thank you, this is encouraging. Super excited about all this!
