It’s ok

It often mishears me and then gives me feedback on what it hallucinated that I said. It would be nice to have an undo button in the roleplays for this situation so I can roll back one response rather than start over if a hallucination derails the scenario. Also, it would be nice if there were per-language settings so one doesn’t have to manually change their skill level every time they hop between languages.

$89.99 not worth it

I thought for this price that I would have full access to all their courses. False. Even the chat has limited time. I cancelled the subscription and valid until next year for limited chat. That’s misleading and can’t even get my money back. Can’t find a real person. Not worth it and don’t waste you money. Maybe 2 stars is better with all the limitations.

Great learning

Easy to use but hard to keep context to what you are learning without multiple repeats. Words get introduced quickly without meaning. Perhaps a little upfront theory before diving in.
Still loving it and noticing the difference

Professor em casa

Mmuito bem estruturado.

Just what I need!

I love this app because I just moved to France and sometimes I am intimidated to have a conversation with French people because my French isn’t quite good enough. This app gives me the confidence with the positive affirmations while enhancing my vocabulary, teaching me the way French people would say something with paraphrasing and giving me the practice that I need!

Good but could use a few tweaks

I’m using this to learn Croatian for a holiday. The app is good and intuitive to use but has a few drawbacks.
1. I have selected “Travel and Tourism” as the reason for learning but the app doesn’t seem to take that into account - it gives me phrases like “He plays football”, which are of limited use for a holiday.
2. It gave me the phrase “My name is Anna” to learn. I am a man, so this isn’t useful for me - you should be able to select your gender in the personalisation section.
3. Some of the words it selects are a bit random. I am currently on an exercise that has me learning I, you, he, she and …….rabbit!

Overcharged

I canceled this subscription on June 24 but then was charged $90 on June 25. I just did the free trial now I’m trying to get my money back from my credit card.

App enganador

Fora do app fala que não precisava pagar dentro do app já tem todos os planos que a gente pode escolher e a gente não tem opção de escolher se a gente vai continuar no app gratuito ou pago tem que ser tudo no pago e é por isso que eu só dou uma estrela

Fantastique

Bonjour, cette appli est l’outil dont j’ai rêvé pour apprendre une langue étrangère. Très ludique, elle permet une immersion dans la langue. Un grand merci pour cette idée et pour les évolutions régulières dans l’approche pédagogique. J’apprends ou je me perfectionne dans 4 langues actuellement.

Tolles Tool zum Sprechenüben

Ich bin begeistert davon, dass ich auf diese Weise das Sprechen auf Französisch und Spanisch üben kann und sogar Korrekturen zu meinen Fehlern erhalte. Das Lernen macht wirklich großen Spaß. Ein paar Fehler tauchen allerdings manchmal bei der Fehlerkorrektur auf. Zum Beispiel verbessert die KI meinen französischen Satz einfach mit der deutschen Übersetzung, statt eine Alternative auf Französisch zu bieten. Und ich diktiere meinen Text im Chat immer mündlich, werde dann aber korrigiert, weil ich etwa keine Anführungszeichen oder das falsche Genus im Wort „amis“ (Freunde), statt „amies“ (Freundinnen) benutzt hätte, obwohl man diesen Unterschied im Französischen eigentlich nicht hören kann. Es wurde einfach nur automatisch falsch transkribiert. Letzteres sind aus meiner Sicht allerdings eher Kleinigkeiten. Aber ich hoffe, dass das mit den Korrekturen auf Deutsch noch geändert wird. Ansonsten würde ich TalkPal jedem empfehlen, der sein Sprachniveau verbessern will, im Alltag aber zu wenig zum Sprechen kommt.

Не работает

Не могу начать пользоваться, только серые экраны и бесконечная загрузка. Верните деньги!

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how frustrating it is when the app doesn’t load and you’re left with a gray screen. This is not the experience we want for our users. Please contact us at support@talkpal.ai with more details so we can resolve this issue as soon as possible. Best regards, Talkpal team.

Poor speech recognition

The app fundamentally is poor at speech recognition. This makes language learning very difficult.

No spaced repetition system

This app includes many fantastic features. But this app misses one of the core features. There is no effective practice tests for already learned words. Individually all levels need to be practiced from scratch. However, there should be a combined flashcards system which will repeat the cards from completed levels for 1,3,7,15, 30 and 90 days chronologically. Mistaking a word should repeat that word three days in a row

Education

I have only used it for two days but as a teacher, I was really hoping the app had a specific section for education. There is a section for business, tech, hospitality etc. but not one for education. Maybe this could be added.

Dishonest

There are NO free features on their 'free' plan. Totally dishonest. I'll take my money to a more trustworthy provider.

Honest opinion

I want 10 minutes a day

Great tool, needs work.

A fantastic concept, but lacking some basics!

Pronunciation in Persian is a bit inaccurate. Some works are repeated by the speaker multiple times (despite not being written more than once in the sentence) - Most likely a glitch.

Also, I'm at the absolute beginner level and there is no option to learn the alphabet! I cannot yet read in the language and am being asked to select the best response (I can't read the responses).

Worth mentioning that Farsi has formal and informal speech. Users should be allowed to select the tone/formality of their speaker.

I'll have to come back to this app once it's fine-tuned, because it's otherwise excellent.

I think a feature that allows you to save words as they come up in practice (regardless of the format) with ability to add notes and revisit them (like a personal dictionary) would be super cool and useful too.

Terrific tool and hats off to the developers.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you so much for your detailed and valuable feedback. We have taken note of your feedback regarding the Persian pronunciation glitches, the lack of alphabet lessons for absolute beginners, and the missing tone selection feature. We have also noted your fantastic suggestion for a personal dictionary feature to save words and add notes during practice. Please feel free to contact us at support@talkpal.ai with specific examples of inaccurate Persian pronunciation, so our team can look into it further. Your insights are incredibly helpful as we work to fine-tune the app and improve your experience. Best regards, Talkpal team.

Talkpal French

Talkpal allows you to speak without the nervousness of à real life conversation gradually gaining your confidence.
However, my biggest problem is I cannot understand spoken French. Despite reducing the speed of the AI speakers I cannot grasp the language. May I suggest you put say 100 common French phrases or sentences for us students to listen to, one after the other or just one again and again until I may get that eureka moment.
