I tested its ability to detect issues in my nonnative pronunciation of Japanese and Russian. As with you, it praised me more than I wanted, but it also provided pointed, appropriate feedback. I was particularly impressed that it corrected the pitch accent of some words I said in Japanese. I speak Japanese fluently but, because I began learning as an adult, I have a foreign accent that I am unable to lose. One major component of my nonnative sound is my inadequate acquisition of the pitch accent system. Nobody ever corrects me in conversation and it would be annoying if they did. If, when I started learning Japanese forty years ago, I had had a bot that could hear and correct my pronunciation, I would have less of a foreign accent now. Some prompt engineering is needed, though, to get rid of that excessive praise. In my next tests, I will just tell it not to praise me at all. That should work.
