Ditch boring grammar exercises and get talking. Quazel’s AI tutor can actually talk and gives you tutoring help along the way.

Hi I'm Philipp, one of the founders of Quazel. We have been working on Quazel since last year and we're super excited about our 1.0 release 🎉 We started working on it because through learning many different languages we always noticed the huge difference in quality between self-study or school compared to an actual private tutor. That's why we not only want to build a conversational exchange but replicate the exact experience that you'd have with a tutor sitting right next to you. We already have a couple of these tutoring elements, but we are currently building far more of them. THE best way to learn a language is by having a tutor available 24/7 who tailors everything around your needs and interest. Currently, this is a luxury only a few people have the financial means to afford. With Quazel, we want to bring this to everyone. Let me know what you think 😊 P.S. Thanks for hunting us @mwseibel

Congrats on the launch! How do you tailor the language learning experience to the individual needs and interests of users?
Philipp
@irina_haupt With the scene builder learners can decide for themselves what they'd like to talk about and create scenarios uniquely tailored to them. In the future, we'll be going deep into tailoring such that no 2 users will have the same experience. 😊

Does conversational learning make it easier to pick up a new language?
Philipp
@royce_branning1 It actually prepares you for the real world! Instead of just doing mind-numbing vocab drills, you are put in the real-world context of the language. So it most definitely does!

Welp no more Duolingo!

congratulations I love this program! the combination of flash cards and AI chat is brilliant! my two observations are as a beginner I felt that the AI produced somewhat too difficult dialogue for a beginner. some of its expressions were quite complex for beginner level. the other difficulty I had was it could not understand me speaking Indonesian.... so few of my responses were converted from voice to text correctly.... I guess that's going to be a challenge for AI language learning programs to overcome?

Thanks @simon_s_j ! Adapting the difficulty is tricky and we're constantly tinkering with it. We do have some options for making speech recognition more forgiving than it is now. If it's noisy around you or you speak too quickly it might have trouble understanding you though. Worst case you can always resort to typing😊
