How do you learn a language and practice speaking with AI?

Speak, rather than just read

The hardest part of learning a language is finding someone to speak with every day without feeling embarrassed. Voice conversations in ChatGPT (Voice) and Gemini (Live) solve this: you speak aloud, it replies aloud, and it corrects you.

Open the app on your phone, tap the voice icon beside the text box, and start speaking.

State your level and goal first

If you do not, it will speak quickly and use difficult words. Tell it your level, what you want to discuss, and when to correct you.

Conversation partner

Copy the prompt as it is, or tailor it with your details first.

View full prompt

I want you to be my conversation partner in [language]. My level is [level], and my goal is [goal]. Speak slowly with simple words suited to my level. After each reply, correct just one mistake if there is one, tell me the correct sentence, and continue the conversation. At the end, summarize my most frequent mistakes.

If you are missing information that would change the result, ask me first.
Before you deliver: keep corrections appropriate to my level, and explain the reason for each correction.

Pronunciation and mistakes

Ask it to identify words you pronounce unclearly and say them slowly, then repeat them. If you keep getting a word wrong, ask for two sentences using it and repeat them.

Practice real situations

A job interview in English.
A presentation to a client or manager.
A medical appointment or session with an English speaker.
Booking a hotel or asking a question at an airport.

Tell it, “Play the [person] in this situation and start.” If you want to learn regularly, have it send you a daily conversation topic using scheduled actions.
