Need a stress-free environment to practise that second or third language? EF Hello’s AI-powered chat robot is always up for a conversation.

What we love: EF Hello’s AI tutor Addi can hold realistic conversations with you in a wide range of common situations, from business-related agenda setting and KPI discussions to more everyday scenarios such as making a restaurant reservation and shopping. Addi responds to you in real time, so you can carry on a back-and-forth dialogue towards your goal.

Here’s how to use it

Step one: Select Roleplay and read the instructions carefully to understand the goal of the exercise, such as scheduling an interview or negotiating your salary.

Step two: Tap Voice Call to start a realistic real-time conversation. Your AI tutor will guide you by asking questions until you reach your goal.

Step three: Now it’s time to evaluate! Every time you finish a conversation, Addi will score you based on pronunciation, fluency, complexity and grammatical correctness. You’ll also receive supplemental information to further improve your spoken fluency.

Pro tip: Make use of the lesson’s vocabulary and syntax in your conversations – and remember to be polite to improve your score.
