Language learning AI apps, experiences, thoughts, reviews

[Katerina Riverside]

Hello everyone,

I would like to learn Spanish language soon. I am 36, busy, 2 kids and living off grid. Going to lessons is not an option. I am a quite well language oriented female, so I believe I can do it with online lessons, books and self-study. I am considering AI powered app, namely: Jumpspeak.

Does anyone have experiences with AI language learning apps, either Jumpspeak of other? There are couple of these available. I would love to hear your impressions or even "hear-say" if you have anyone around you using it.

Much grattitude for your answers.

Katie

Duolingo is actually surprisingly good. I speak 4 languages, the last of which has been Spanish.

I spent last summer about hour thirty a day for 2 months on the app and got up to B1. It was about the same material I covered during my fall semester at uni, which is about 3 months, so I essentially didn't have to study. The only thing you might need additional practice for is speaking, just to get your thoughts flowing. Finding some people to chat with from time to time is definitely a must.
