Praktika AI Reviews 

I like the voice of the AI bott...but at times she talks very quickly. It might be an idea to start her off more slowly, then increase as one becomes more accustomed to her voice. The corrections are good....and remind me of things like verb endings and tenses...but I would sometimes like the opportunity to query the meanings of some words...or sentence constructions

Praktika boosted my confidence in speaking Portuguese after several decades since first learning the language. I never had much fluency in speaking and my listening and comprehension were limited. The tutors speak clearly and each have different accents and personalities. I like practicing all the situations I would find myself using while traveling in Portugal or Brazil.the lessons are varied and you can always suggest your own lesson or even a game to play with vocabulary. I don’t freeze up while speaking very often anymore, and the lessons work on multiple levels to reinforce your skills before moving into the next topic. I appreciated the free trial, and by the time it was over I didn’t hesitate to keep Praktika on my phone.

The app Is useful. The AI tutor 's voice is not stabile. I need more feed back from the tutor.

I have been trying to unsubscribe for weeks. I have followed all steps internal to the app and through Apple (from which I purchased it). There are no additional ways to unsubscribe. I am sill being charged.

This kind of company and charging mechanism is a baseless scam.

I have been using Duolingo and other apps to learn Spanish for years and have immersed myself in a language school in Colombia. This app is perfect for refreshing and stretching my conversational skills when I’m home and don’t have as many real life opportunities to interact.

I was bored with the AI versions of Duo—how many times can I talk about the types of books I like to read or where I walk the dog? So this approach is refreshing, and the tutors feel more real than Lily or Falstaff.

When I make mistakes, I like how the tutor gently provides feedback in real time. The tempo and cadence sound like human speech, too, so it’s training my ears not to try to translate everything. But if I get stuck I can refer to the transcript, which is helpful. The tutor waits patiently if I need time to think. The app is easy to use and placed me at the right level.

I also like how we can choose and change tutors and pick whether they speak Latin American or standard Spanish. I tried another app that tried to drill all the different countries’ vocabulary for the same objects and teach us how to have the same conversation in Spain vs Mexico vs other countries, and that got boring yet overwhelming fast.

The only thing I don’t like is the tutors that don’t look creepy look cross eyed. Distracting. And their mouths move funny. All teeth.

I like how the tutor varies the exercises. Today we played a little game. And it asked if there was anything else I wanted to practice and adapted beautifully to my needs in extending the lesson.

I’m a retired language teacher, myself, and so far I’m impressed.

Not for beginners
Only good if you already have a moderate mastery of the language. Japanese in my case.

For German language it’s for me not good. And very expensive.
I would like to take my money back to look for another app.

I think it’s a great tool to get me thinking of how to construct sentences. It’s not helping to correct my mistakes but it gives me a good idea of how to express myself. You do need a good level of understanding to chat. I find that having travelled to Italy my experiences helped with the exercises.

This app is great when you already have a grasp of the language and you want to practice for fluency. For a language you are just starting, I still recommend Comprehensible Input/ learning thru stories.

This is only my first day using the app. Initially I found navigating around the app difficult as not sure how I did it but the avatar thought my native language was Turkish. It took me awhile to figure out how to change it, but eventually got it corrected. I have some basic understanding of the language I am studying so find some of the pronunciation of the words incorrect. Otherwise so far enjoying the app.

I have tried it for 2 days. It is very advance for beginners. I can’t figure out how to start at the basic. The AI is speaking totally in Italian and I have to press what to say because I don’t understand what she is asking or saying. If I can change the level and start at a lower level so I can build up would be great.

I subscribed today to Praktika and I’m disappointed. The avatars look good in the still pictures, but once I started using the app, they all had really creepy eyes and mouths that don’t move naturally. Also, the app doesn’t include feedback about my pronunciation. I also noticed that mistakes I made were not corrected by the app. I tried to cancel my subscription, but for some reason it doesn’t show up in my list of Apple subscriptions. I’m worried that they’ll randomly charge me now.

Those were my first exercises today. It was an interesting experience having an AI as a tutor. My first impression is positive, though I would have liked a few more—and more detailed—corrections of my mistakes. I’ll probably need a bit more practice before forming a final opinion.

Early days using the App but already I feel it is helping me to improve my speaking and listening skills; the interactive tutor makes the attempts to converse in Spanish more realistic and gives really helpful feedback

It is fun and easy. My only complaints are that it doesn't allow enough time for me to complete my sentences when I speak, and the AI speech is a little robotic at times.

I really enjoy the conversations on Praktika. It is like practicing Spanish with a friend. I am already feeling more confident. I would highly recommend it to anyone that needs to practice speaking another language.

I really enjoy the interaction with the friendly intelligence of the ai characters. If not satisfied with the learning pace, simply ask the Ai character to review and intersperse review portions of the previous lessons moving forward so we don't lose what we learned previously. The program remembers it all. Only addition i recommended is a hands free version so we can learn anywhere instead of continually holding a voice button...otherwise a great useful app!

This is a clunky app. I had to enrol and choose my tutor over and over again. Also the teachers English sounded poor which is odd as it’s an app. I also wonder about the content. I’ll keep going as things may improve but there are better apps out there

Analysed my level, but lessons start from A1. Very boring

I’m really enjoying this fun way to sharpen my Spanish.
