Show HN: Conversational Language Learning App

https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/lingocat-practice-speaking/id6502639816

Hey HN, I've been building an iOS app, called Lingocat, over the last few months to help language learners become fluent faster through conversational practice.

Most language learning apps are over-indexed on repetitive vocab and grammar practice. This approach helps you improve reading + writing proficiency but will leave you unable to hold a conversation in your target language.

Lingocat teaches you how to speak a new language using an AI language tutor who you'll practice speaking with, in your target language to complete a variety of exercises. Each lesson is focused on improving your spoken communication skills, during which, you'll receive real-time feedback and can learn new phrases through context-based hints.

thanks!! we're working on adding more languages, but it takes a bit of time as we want to ensure a good learning experience for each one we add
