Learned more in one evening than I did using books for weeks.
Orca
@michael_t_brown That means a lot — thank you! 🙌 Our goal is to make language learning faster, more natural, and actually enjoyable. So glad Orca helped you make real progress in just one evening!
Love the idea.
Suggestion (not so sure whether it shows the words in written form while talking), but it would be great if it would show after the second or third pronunciation the written form of the word. I am learning German and I am a more visual type of person so I am more likely to remember something when I read it (see it).

@busmark_w_nika Thank you so much Nika — really appreciate the support and thoughtful suggestion! 🙏 That’s a great point. Right now, this is the MVP and I'm testing different approaches to see what works best. My initial thinking was that when talking to a native speaker, you don’t usually see the words — so the goal was to train listening and response, to feel more natural and immersive. But I’m experimenting with this, and considering adding an option for users to show or hide the transcript — either the full conversation or just the vocabulary and phrases taught in the lesson. Thanks again for the helpful feedback!
Way more interactive and responsive than typical language apps. Great for learners who want something between a tutor and a chatbot. wondering does Orca support cultural nuances and slang for different dialects (e.g. Latin American vs. European Spanish)? Excited to see how it evolves. Great launch and awesome potential.

@tenzindorji22 Thank you so much Tenzin! 🙌 Orca is still in its MVP stage, so we’re testing and improving those features — but it’s a big part of our vision! 🌍🗣️
Orca
@jinsoncjohny Thank you so much, Jinson! 🙌 That’s exactly the vision — a judgment-free space to practice, make mistakes, and grow your confidence. Really glad Orca resonates with you, and excited to keep building it into something even more powerful. Appreciate the support! 🚀💬

Congrats on the launch! Any chance you add some more languages to Orca and ship a mobile version? This could be much more helpful and convenient to most language learners.
Orca
@justin_bao Thanks! Yes, this is just the MVP — already working on adding more languages, including expanding the AI teacher’s capabilities. You’ll soon be able to choose both the language you want to learn and the native language you'd like the AI teacher to speak with. A mobile version is also on the way and launching soon. Stay tuned! 🚀📱
Just gave this a spin at a coffee shop and the voice detection seems a bit sensitive to background noise, which kept interrupting the conversation. A 'push-to-talk' or a simple 'Speak/Stop' button for manual control would be a game-changer for using this in public spaces. Cool product, congrats on the launch!
Orca
@alexis_luo Really appreciate you trying it out and sharing this feedback! You're absolutely right — background noise can sometimes interfere with voice detection, especially in public spaces. A manual 'Speak/Stop' or 'Push-to-Talk' mode is a great idea and something already exploring to make the experience smoother and more user-friendly or implementing voice isolation. Thanks again for the suggestion and the kind words! 🙏🎙️

Congrats on the Launch! Used the platform and it has great potential. Some pointers from me
- push-to-talk or some feedback for when the agent is listening.
- show the text I am supposed to speak and it's english counterpart. This will help in mapping the sound to a text a easier to remember for visual learners.
- a layout of the lesson showing progress
- option to repeat a section

@avinash_bhardwaj Thank you so much, really appreciate sharing your feedback! 🙏
Regarding Push-to-talk I'm exploring the options including voice isolation especially in noisy environments. Also I'm testing different approaches to see what works best. My initial thinking was that when talking to a native speaker, you don’t usually see the words — so the goal was to train listening and response, to feel more natural and immersive. But I’m experimenting with this, and considering adding an option for users to show or hide the transcript — either the full conversation or just the vocabulary and phrases taught in the lesson.
Finally you can repeat any section you want by telling Orca to do so.
Thanks again for helping us shape Orca into something truly useful — your feedback means a lot! 🚀
It‘s cool，AI now is a excellent language teacher
Orca
@guanghuadavid Thank you! Really appreciate it.
This looks cool - not a big fan of Duolingo, so happy to try an alternative!
Orca
@pie3 Thanks a lot! 🙌 We hear you — me too not a big fan of Duolingo. Orca takes a more natural, conversation-first approach, and we hope it gives you the kind of learning experience you’ve been looking for.
Hey Ahmed! It sounds actually interesting. I can feel the pain and Orca looks to solve it. Little suggestion... the link brings us directly to a sign in page... it would be great a landing page with further explanation. Anyway, congrats on this impressive launch!
Orca
@german_merlo1 Hey, thank you so much — really appreciate the kind words and the great suggestion! 🙏 Totally hear you on the landing page — this is just the MVP, so I was focused on getting the core experience out first. But you're right, a proper landing page with more context would help a lot, and it's definitely on the way. Thanks again for the support! 🚀

Niiice, love it bro
Orca
@max_klink Thanks, bro
Learning German by talking, not just tapping. Perfect for building fluency that actually sounds native.
Orca
@vivek_sharma_25 Yes, Thank you
