Three Months of English Conversation Practice with an AI Tutor: Did It Actually Work?
I spent 15 minutes a day practicing English conversation with ChatGPT's voice mode for three months. I started because I didn't have time to attend a language academy, and I didn't have any native-speaker friends either.
The first two weeks were fun because it felt novel, but from the third week I noticed I kept repeating similar sentences. So I started giving it role-play scenarios: job interviews, ordering at a cafe, explaining a project, and so on.
There were clear results. In particular, the amount of time I spent stumbling when speaking decreased. Pronunciation correction, however, has limits. The AI tends to let things pass as long as it can "understand" you, so I had to get precise pronunciation feedback separately.
Conclusion: Highly recommended for practicing getting your mouth moving. Not enough for exam preparation.
