To provide some background: I built ALEC (http://gabrieloc.com/ALEC/) while travelling as a way to improve my Korean. One of the biggest goals was to figure out a good way to improve my speaking ability, which is why the app revolves around you finding native speakers to chat with.
I learned a lot from the whole experience, so I wrote a short article documenting some of those lessons. If you’re at all interested in improving (or learning) a second language, and how tech can be used to aid that process, check out the article and let me know what you think: https://medium.com/@_gabrieloc/t...
