English conversation practice with AI tutors

About TapTalk

Practice speaking by having conversations in English with AI tutors. Practice anytime, anywhere without pressure.

What you can do

  • Talk with an AI tutorHave a conversation in English with an AI tutor. Replies follow what was said earlier in the conversation.
  • Speech recognition and tutor voicesSpeech recognition writes down what you say, and a natural-sounding voice lets you hear the tutor’s pronunciation.
  • Feedback after the conversationWhen a conversation ends, the tutor points out and corrects grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. You can change the correction style in settings.
  • Speaking metricsMetrics like WPM, vocabulary diversity, and sentence complexity help you look at your speaking habits.

Records and evaluation

An evaluation that looks at several aspects, not a single score.

  • Your learning history keeps the number of conversations, time, new expressions, and your longest sentence.

What we look at

  • WPMWords spoken per minute, to look at your speaking pace.
  • Vocabulary DiversityWhether you used a range of words instead of repeating the same ones (TTR).
  • Sentence ComplexityHow often you used connected (compound or complex) sentences.
  • GrammarHow many grammar corrections per sentence came up after the conversation.
  • Response TimeHow long it took you to start answering after the tutor finished speaking.

These results are generated by AI and may be inaccurate. Use them as a learning reference.

Learning standards and approach

  • Think and speak for yourself

    In children’s lessons, learners answer questions about a story and give reasons. At the end, they retell it in their own words.

  • Listen, repeat, and talk

    Today’s lesson includes a story at the selected stage, shadowing, conversation, and retelling. Stages 1 and 2 also begin with a short speaking review. Free conversation starts separately.

  • Keep talking through mistakes

    The tutor responds to meaning first. You can reduce or turn off corrections during conversation; when given, they focus on one point at a time.

  • Start with a speaking task

    A short placement task sets the starting stage for today’s lesson from what you say. Lesson sentences and vocabulary are checked against stage rules.

  • From one word to a reason

    Questions in today’s lesson move from yes or no and two choices to story details, personal ideas, and reasons.

  • Review your speaking record

    See conversation count and time, longest sentence, speaking pace, and vocabulary diversity. AI feedback can be inaccurate; use it as a learning guide.

  • A parent confirms children’s materials

    A child’s materials and videos require parent confirmation or a permission the parent has enabled. Conversation rules prohibit requests for personal details.

Today’s lesson stages

Today’s lesson has four stages (1–4). A speaking placement task chooses where to start; completing a lesson moves you to the next lesson.

  • Stage 1 · Short answers and familiar expressions
  • Stage 2 · Simple sentences
  • Stage 3 · Stories in several sentences
  • Stage 4 · Ideas and reasons in more detail

These stages guide lesson selection. They are not official exam grades or scores.
