YourTeacher.AI: Learn a Foreign Language Without Hiring a Tutor

---

You may need to travel to various countries around the globe for different purposes. Perhaps you are a foreign student pursuing higher education in the UK, a professional moving abroad for better job opportunities, a traveler, or a business owner looking to expand your business globally. In such situations, learning different foreign languages becomes essential for survival in the new country. However, learning a new language is not like a walk in the garden.

There are different platforms calculating the time and money one has to invest to learn foreign languages. For example, LanguageLine estimates 550 hours and 26 dollars per hour to become fluent in French. Learning Chinese and Mandarin can take about 2200 hours and almost 66,000 dollars.

It is obvious that a lot of people are unable to invest this amount of time and money in learning foreign languages. To resolve this issue, Xiaoma NYC, a language expert YouTuber, created a language tutoring app, Your Teacher AI. 

Within a short time, this app has become popular among language learners, helping them become a fluent foreign language speaker. What is this app and how is it helping people? Let's discuss it in this blog.

Introduction to Your Teacher AI

Teacher AI is a cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology that uses GPT 3, GPT-4, and ML technology to teach various languages to users. It is designed for intermediate language learners who know the basics of foreign languages but want to polish their conversational language.

In the app, you will find famous social media personalities from various fields. For example, there is Portuguese teacher Virginia Langhammer, Olly Richards, Benny Lewis, Podcast Italiano’s owner, and many other famous language experts. This app offers AI personas of these social media personalities for you to chat with, making it easier to learn your target language.

You don't need to follow any specific syllabus or structured pattern to learn on this app. Simply interact with your AI teachers on any topic you want, and pick up the language naturally as you converse. You can also customize the settings to personalize the conversations and align them with your preferences. Due to this flexibility and innovation, it is trusted by more than 10,000 learners.

The team behind this tool includes Arieh Smith, who has over 10 million followers on social media and is a well-known polyglot in the world. Olly Richards and Lucas Bighetti are his partners. Between these three, they speak almost 50 languages. This fact alone is enough to tell us how high the quality of their product is.

Features of Your Teacher AI

Once you sign up for a free trial on this tool, you can explore a wide range of features of this platform. These features enable this AI tool to replace the traditional human language tutor. Some of its amazing features are:

Large Number of Languages

At this moment, Teacher AI is offering 30 languages, and they are continuously getting added to the system. These languages include Arabic, English, Chinese, Bulgarian, Danish, Czech, Greek, German, French, Dutch, Korean, Indonesian, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Ukrainian, Turkish, and others. In the future, there are chances of an increase in the number of languages on this app.

Wide Range of Tutors

Similar to languages, there are a huge number of tutors on this app, each one having a unique personality and teaching different languages. You will find language polyglots, history teachers, teenagers loving mountain climbing, and adult language experts living in different sections of the world. Moreover, you can find your favorite social media star’s AI persona on this tool.

This wide range of personality enables you to choose the tutor who not only speaks your language but also resonates with your interests.

Customization of Interaction

There is a tab, “Teacher Preferences,” that lets you customize the learning experience on Your Teacher AI. This section offers a wide range of settings to personalize your interactions.

For instance, you can select your native and target languages, decide how much of the target language you want your teacher to use during the interaction, and how often should your teacher correct your mistakes. You can also choose whether the teacher should point out the mistakes during interaction or simply note them later. Additionally, you can adjust your teacher’s speaking speed, among other preferences, to tailor your experience according to your needs.

In-depth conversations

The tool doesn't have any specific syllabus, allowing users to choose any topic and start talking about it with their AI tutor. This flexibility allows you to have in-depth conversations with your AI tutor, enabling you to learn a specific range of vocabulary and phrases. It also enhances your knowledge about various topics.

For example, you can choose a tutor who is passionate about mountain climbing. By discussing mount climbing with the tutor, you can learn specific vocabulary and phrases related to this field. Moreover, it will provide you with all the information you want about this hobby in your target language, making the learning process engaging and practical.

Reading Comprehension

When you start interacting with the Teacher AI, it provides you with the written text along with speaking it. It allows you to read the written text to familiarize yourself with the writing style and vocabulary of your target language. This enhances your foreign language’s reading comprehension. Moreover, you can chat with AI through writing to improve your writing skills.

Speaking Feature

Along with writing, Teacher AI allows you to speak. You can chat with the AI tutor by speaking words and sentences on the microphone. It will enhance your pronunciation.

Bilingual Comprehension

While doing customization settings, you can choose how often you want your tutor to use your native language along with your target language. The frequency can range from none to a major part of the conversation. This switching between languages during a conversation helps you to maximize the effectiveness of the tutoring experience.

Moreover, you can get the translation of written foreign language text in your native language, either of the full sentences or just one word. It is up to you how much translation of the text you want to maximize your understanding.

Simultaneous Learning

My Teacher AI blends instructions and interactions, prompting users to actively engage in the language while deepening their understanding. 

For example, when you are interacting with the tutor, it can point out and correct your language mistakes along with teaching you new phrases and words. Additionally, the tool provides deep knowledge of the topic being discussed at that moment.

Review Section

The review section serves as a valuable feature for users, offering a detailed record of their learning session. This is a unique aspect of My Teacher AI that you will not find in Duolingo or other AI language tutoring tools. This section contains different aspects, including:

New Words and Phrases: This section includes all the new words and phrases you or your tutor have spoken during the interaction. You can read their translation and listen to the pronunciation.

Active Vocabulary: This section contains the active words and sentences your AI tutor has spoken during the interaction.

Passive Vocabulary: This section contains the passive vocabulary the user has spoken.

Available in App and Website Form

Teacher AI is available on Google Play and Apple Play Store to download. Once you sign up on the website, it provides you a link to the app in the email. You can download it from there.

Pricing Plan of Your Teacher AI

Unfortunately, Teacher AI doesn't have any free pricing plan and prompts you to buy a subscription plan. However, each subscription plan offers a 3 or 7-day free trial. 

The first is a monthly plan in which you have to spend 25 dollars per month. The second is a yearly plan in which you can get a 7-day free trial. This yearly plan costs around 147 dollars at this moment. Lastly, there is a 6-month plan which you can avail for 107 dollars per month.

Limitations of Your Teacher AI

While this language tool has a lot of features, it also comes with notable limitations. A significant issue is the glitches users experience while conversing with the AI tutor. Along with it, there can be voice quality issues, and the AI tutor may sometimes struggle to understand you. Moreover, this tool may not remember the previous conversation, which can lead to inconsistent and confusing remarks. Furthermore, the AI may struggle to respond to complex sentences or commands.

Another major drawback is the absence of a complete free version. You have to buy any subscription and enter your card details to avail 3-day or 7-day free trial. Moreover, it doesn't provide examples or explanations of new words and phrases. This can make users confused and they have to browse specific words and sentences to better understand them.

In short, Your Teacher AI is an amazing tool but it has certain limitations. So, you should make the purchasing decision wisely.
