Hey Product Hunt fam! 👋🏻 I'm Lea, co-founder of TalkMe AI.

Years ago, I found myself in a situation where I had studied a language for ages, but when it came time to actually talk to someone, my brain just…froze. It felt like all those hours of studying were locked behind a door I couldn't open. And I realized, it wasn't just me. So many people face this – the gap between textbook learning and real-world conversation.

That's why we built TalkMe AI. We wanted to bridge that gap, to create a space where language learning isn't just about memorizing rules, but about having real conversations.

So, what does TalkMe actually do?
📚 Personalized Study Plan: We craft lessons based on your interests, language level and needs. Everything is made to suit you!
⌚️ Real-Time Feedback: Our AI doesn't just talk; it listens and guides, helping you nail pronunciation and grammar.
👩🏻 Ultra-realistic AI Avatars: TalkMe's Al tutors come from all over the world, with diverse backgrounds, personalities, and accents, and can respond according to the context.
💬 Everyday Scenarios: From ordering coffee to pitching a business idea, we've got you covered. You can even create your own scenarios.
👑 Track Your Wins: See your progress, review what you've learned, and compete with users in leaderboards.

We're all about making language learning adaptive, effective, flexible, and affordable.

🎁 To celebrate our launch here on Product Hunt, we're offering a special deal for our new friends: Use code 【999999】 for a sweet 52% off on our annual plan.

Please support us and let's make language learning an adventure, not a chore!

@talkme  @yuhao_ye Hi, Leo. I'm really glad my story resonated with you. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Hope you enjoy the app!

Dineshan
Launching soon!

@cest_lea TalkMe AI tackles one of the biggest struggles in language learning, the gap between study and real conversation. Congrats on the launch

Lea D.

@dineshan_sithamparanathan That's right! The key to language learning is practical application, and we're empowering people to achieve fluency.

@cest_lea Just tried TalkMe and wow, this is exactly what i needed! the gap between textbook learning and actual speaking has always been my biggest frustration with apps like Duolingo and Babbel. those AI tutors feel surprisingly human-like, especially when practicing business scenarios (finally something practical!).

love how it gives instant feedback on pronunciation instead of just moving on like most apps do lol. the personalized study plans actually feel... personalized? ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

can't wait to use this for my upcoming trip to japan! congrats to the team on building something that finally makes language practice less awkward and more useful! brilliant launch!


Nika

Cool! How many languages are supported?

P.S.: Change the link in the comments (for Instagram, because the handle @ used now is applied to the PH profile, not Instagram profile). Which means, you need to use URL of your insta :)

Lea D.

@busmark_w_nika Hi, Nika. Thanks for your feedback! Changing it~ TalkMe supports 7 target learning languages now and we're adding more.

Zijian-TalkMe

@busmark_w_nika  @cest_lea  Talkme is a multi-language learning product. We offer not only English learning but also the study of languages like Japanese, Spanish, French, Korean, and Chinese. We create more immersive activities for learners. Thank you for your support.

Nika

Thank you for clarifying :)

Nika

uuuu, Spanish sounds pretty cool! :) Cannot wait for German too :)

Luo Baishun

Congratulations on the launch, TalkMe team!


As an English learner myself, I understand the challenges. TalkMe AI has incredible potential to be the go-to choice for people like me. Wishing you all the best for a successful launch!

@luobaishun Hello, thank you for your support. I hope TalkMe can better help language learners.

@luobaishun grats on launching another great product!

Great alternative to existing language learning apps. Talking to a realistic AI buddy makes learning the language fun and authentic

Launching soon!

🚀 Congrats on the launch, Lea @cest_lea & TalkMe team! As a language learner who also struggled with "freeze mode" in real conversations, your solution hits home. 👏 Love how the ultra-realistic avatars mirror real-world diversity (that business pitch scenario? Genius!). The instant pronunciation feedback via AI is exactly what most apps miss.


One thought: Could you add a "challenge mode" where conversations dynamically adapt to users' skill levels mid-chat? Like if I nail ordering coffee, the AI subtly introduces more complex sentences about local coffee culture? ☕️ That progression could make fluency feel more organic.

Excited to see how you'll keep bridging the textbook-real life gap! #LanguageLearningRevolution 🔥

Lea D.

@rocsheh Hey, Zepeng. Thank you so much for your congratulations and feedback! We're genuinely thrilled to hear that our product resonates with someone with your language learning experience. The 'challenge mode' idea you mentioned is fantastic! We're already discussing how to make the learning process more dynamic and adaptable. ❤️

Faizan Jan

TalkMe AI is a 'chat-tastic' leap forward in language learning!

How does TalkMe AI tailor its conversational feedback to accommodate various proficiency levels, ensuring both beginners and advanced learners receive appropriate challenges and support? 🤔

One suggestion: It would be great if TalkMe AI could conduct language proficiency tests where AI asks adaptive questions and provides real-time feedback. This could be valuable for both learners and institutions. Additionally, offering an SDK or API for assessment platforms to integrate such tests into their systems could open up new opportunities.

Zijian-TalkMe

@faizanjan_ Your suggestion is really excellent. In fact, Talkme will conduct real-time language proficiency assessments and matching for users. Talkme has a very powerful proficiency assessment system based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), providing 7*24 service to all users around the world. Thank you for your suggestion and we welcome you to have an experience.

Faizan Jan

@j_jay That’s awesome to hear, The CEFR-based system sounds solid. Are there any plans to allow institutions to customize the proficiency assessments to align with their own curriculum or industry-specific language needs? That could be a great way to expand its use cases!

Lea D.
@faizanjan_ We actually have experience collaborating with some institutions, including integrating their curriculum outlines with our thematic lessons. However, our future direction is to empower everyone to customize their own course series.
Michael Vavilov

Language skills were never my strong suit. Let's try this approach. Congratulations on the launch!

Lea D.

@michael_vavilov No worries, Michael. We're here for you! Thanks for your support ;)

hello_leo

This sounds like a game changer for language learners! Love the idea of personalized study plans. Can't wait to see more of this on PH! Upvoted!

Qiang Liu

@helloleo Hello, thank you for your support. I hope TalkMe can better help language learners.

Jason Yu

@cest_lea TalkMe AI looks like a huge step forward in making language learning more practical and immersive.

One thing I’ve noticed with AI language tutors (like Speak, Elsa, and Duolingo Max) is that while they help with pronunciation and vocabulary, they often lack real conversational flow—where the AI feels natural and can adjust to unexpected responses.

How does TalkMe AI handle off-script conversations? For example, if I go off-topic or phrase something awkwardly, does it correct me or try to adapt like a real conversation partner?

Also, any plans for regional accent training? That would be a killer feature! 🔥

Zijian-TalkMe

@cest_lea  @kui_jason Hey Jason,thank you for your message. Our current AI Tutor offers different accents for practice, such as British English, American English, etc. Meanwhile, for different languages, there are also various accents, including Japanese, Spanish, Korean, French, and so on.

Talkme has its own powerful system to ensure that the content users talk about can be relevant to the subject itself. Whether it's free talk or other forms, it can effectively guarantee in-depth practice based on a certain subject.You are welcome to give it a try~

Andrew White

how do you make the learner keep up with the process? duolingo style?

Zijian-TalkMe

@andrew_white_13 Through a suitable daily practice plan, the quantification of users' learning data, and the establishment of long-term goals, we help users practice more effectively. At the same time, we have also introduced a gamification mechanism similar to that of Duolingo, enabling users to immerse themselves more deeply in training and check-ins. You are welcome to use our service!

Andrew White

@j_jay thanks! sounds like the users will be loving to keep up their streaks.

AddSubtitle

I think this is a fantastic and very useful tool!

The real-time performance of the avatar and voice is impressive. Congrats on the launch!

Zijian-TalkMe

@stan_xu1 Thank you. The experience of our AI Tutor with real-time mouth shapes is really great. It is the AI tutor that is closest to a real person in the world.

Max Comperatore

matter of time till duolingo does this

Lea D.
@maxcomx I appreciate your sincere insights. Actually, we don't consider ourselves to be in competition with Duolingo, as I personally use both Duolingo and TalkMe. We have different learning logics. TalkMe is born AI native, focusing on providing more personalized learning paths and more practical content. Duolingo, on the other hand, is a great language learning app for beginners.
Max Comperatore

@cest_lea Duolingo already has a voice call feature, or at least they mentioned it in their last earnings report—something to keep an eye on. You could also leverage AI to generate dynamic scenarios, like imagining you're on a bus and need to have a conversation. Interacting with intelligent AIs in various real-life situations could be a strong moat for your product. Cheers, Lea! Feel free to hit me up if you ever need feedback, testing, or anything else— happy to help.

Lea D.
@maxcomx yeah, you can use TalkMe to customize any role-playing scenario and we will soon support more advanced features. Thanks for your tips. ☺️
Sam @CRANQ

Heya Lea, great platform!!

No more awkward solo practice sessions for me lol, just natural learning!

If this can genuinely boost fluency them I'm here for it, been using Duolingo for 475 days now.


Excited to give this a try & congrats on the launch!!!


Lea D.
@cranqnow Thanks, Sam! I'm a Duolingo user myself. But honestly, talking to an AI tutor face-to-face is on another level.
Shant Hambarsoumian

Congratulations on launching TalkMe AI! Love how you've created AI tutors with diverse backgrounds and accents - that realistic practice is invaluable. The personalized study plans and real-time feedback are brilliant touches too. What you've built is truly transformative for language learners everywhere. Excited to see TalkMe grow and help people finally unlock those conversation skills they've worked so hard to develop!

Lea D.
@shant_hambarsoumian That's very nice of you! Thanks for the support and hope you enjoy the product ;)
Dmitry Zakharov
Hi guys! Congratulations on the launch! I curious what is the difference comparing to Fluently or another AI languages tutors? Thank you!
Lea D.
@dmitry_zakharov_ai Compared to other similar products, we focus more on the immersive experience for users. To achieve this, we: 1. Developed AI tutors with various accents for the same language, each with relevant background settings. 2. During video chats with AI tutors, the AI's lip movements are driven in real time, with precision down to each phoneme. 3. AI tutors have memory and can provide the most natural responses based on what you've said. 4. Developed many practical auxiliary functions to help users engage in conversations with AI, preventing situations where users don't know what to say. It's safe to say we are currently the speaking practice app with the best user experience.
