I built my own AI tutor to teach me Chinese. Mind blown.

If you like what you see and are interested in helping this vision come to life, please consider signing up for free to our email list at streetsmartlanguages.com/ai where we will keep you up to date on our progress and potentially let you test out an early version of the project!

Wait a second. Him being a programmer actually explains a lot when it comes to learning languages.

This could legitimately be the future of tutoring in any subject.

Xiaoma being a former software developer was quite a shock to me! When I read the title, I was like "There is no way he taught himself how to create AI just because he wanted to make this". As someone getting into learning French and hopefully other languages in the future, as well as being an undergraduate computer science major at the moment, this new AI for language learning is actually insane. I really hope this fully comes to fruition and can be accessed by people all over the world one day! Thanks, Xiaoma!

Would love this for Japanese, especially if it had modules or modes for accent/dialects

This feels so much like a real interaction its insane

This seems perfect for me. Social anxiety for speaking in foreign languages is what holds me back tbh

Omg please I need to sign onto this RIGHT NOW!! You are such a huge inspiration, 小马! I love how dedicated you are to language and how hard you try! Always fun watching you stun natives of so many countries with their mother tongue! Keep being awesome!! Edit: It's very impressive that your AI is so advanced already that it recognized you using "they are fine" and noticed your incorrect pronunciation! Then you just switched languages in a snap, and switched back!! And he's so polite and encouraging!! So, yes, it's very exciting to see what that tutor can do! I'm so jacked and I definitely want to be a part of this!!

One thing you didn't ask the AI is if it could slow down when speaking. Most beginners to Chinese (like me) can't wrap their head around the language at full speed. Heck, even half speed could pose a problem! 😉

This is genius! An AI that teaches you languages without having social anxieties is just amazing. I do am very intrigued how this project goes. Huge props to the devs!

Quality content as always! Whether its your "shocked natives" videos or in-depth analyses like this, its not just entertaining, but also, super informative and engaging to watch. The future of technology and how that ties into language learning is super fascinating and I look forward to seeing more such videos!

Wow! Insanely amazing AI tutor. Was quite shocked how personalized it was, and the fact that it's something that can be available 24/7 and be so flexible based on the student's level and be possibly no cost makes me really believe this technology to have a bright future. I really wish it becomes something everybody can access and will use. Wish you the best Xiaoma!!

I love this so much. This is what I've been waiting for. Launch it asap, I'm here and ready for this amazing gift you've created Ari. Thanks

Congratulations! You seem to be a pioneer in a new area of language learning. This kind of interactive learning appears to replicate the much needed immediate input/response/feedback given during conversation with actual native speakers. Finding this kind of interaction can be difficult, especially if there are no native speakers available or the student has difficulty interacting with others due to personality or other social factors.

This was awesome!!! I love how without skipping a beat it’s like, sure let’s continue in Chinese! Haha! Amazing. I just signed up to your learn Chinese phrases email list the other day as well! Perfect timing! This looks like such an incredible tool to help learn languages. Well done to you and everyone involved!

I have to honestly say this: I've been a language professor for over 15 years and this is a BILLION DOLLAR idea, I would love to jump in man wow.! this is amazing.

This is incredible! There is a lot to be worried for the rise of AI, but also a lot to be exited for. So many nuanced areas in life are going to be improved by applying some ML and AI. Projects like this are going to bring so much positive energy to the world. I am a data scientist and ML engineer, whilst also learning Spanish, and I have been so excited for the genesis of AI powered language tutors! What’s more is this is only the beginning, and I think you know that.

You know, this isn't only fantastic for learning languages but also for retention! Think about folks who acquire a language because of time spent overseas or something, then they return home and don't get to use it often. Soon they may get rusty or forget it altogether. But this would provide an interactive dialogue for maintaining proficiency! I love it

This is exciting and amazing! Can't wait for more to come!

I appreciate this and this sounds very exciting! You mention the anxiety of human interaction with native speakers. That is part of the challenge/excitement that comes with learning languages. Hope this won’t be lost in our search for comfort through technology in this new age 😅
