I really like this! I’ve thought about making something similar but never got around to it. This is well done and the STT-TTS works great!

My foremost wish would be for my tutor to point out and explain my grammar mistakes. I can hold a conversation in German but still make grammar mistakes. The LLM corrects them when transcribing and it would be really nice for it to underline the mistakes with the ability to explain them. Maybe have a second LLM running with a different system prompt?



Thanks for the kind words. It's actually a deliberate choce to not have it correct the user. The reason is that it mimics trying to get your point across in real life. Over time, through speaking as much as possible, your grammar starts to improve by osmosis and exposure. The only real evidence I have for this is my own anecdotal experience.


I think that's good during the conversation, but an option to do a "review" after the fact that points out a selection of issues spotted during the chat would be great.


Yes, very good point - that seems very doable and useful
