Choices, limits and sources · Checked 30 September 2026.

Be my [language] conversation partner. I am at [level] and want to practise [situation, e.g. buying train tickets]. Use the register appropriate for [country/context].

Start a realistic role-play with one short message and wait for my response. Keep vocabulary close to my level, introduce only a few new words at a time, and give me a hint if I get stuck. After each response, briefly correct the most useful mistake, explain it in [native language], then continue naturally.

After eight exchanges, provide a vocabulary list, three sentence patterns and a second role-play targeting my mistakes. Include transliteration only if I ask for it. If we are using text, do not claim to assess my pronunciation. For voice practice, first confirm what audio capabilities are available.

What the estimate covers.

First role-play response only; later turns cost extra. Assumes 500 input tokens and 150–350 output tokens. Follow-up turns, reasoning and tools can increase the cost.

Monthly savings use 20 independent first responses. Chat app subscription fees are separate from API token charges.
