Hi all,
Just wondering has anyone come across an app that would pose you questions in your target language?
I realise you could pay a tutor and get feedback on italki but I was thinking when you are by yourself.
I'm not even wanting the app to listen to my response (given apps struggle deciphering people) but just to say a bunch of sentences maybe categorised by topic like say 'Restaurant' then it would simulate questions you would get in a restaurant and you could practice replying to them. Maybe pause after each question until we click next.
I realise you could just make up the questions in your own head and reply to them but i think it would be a good little tool and self-talk is considered a useful thing to do.
Anyone know of such a thing?
Thanks

Don't know of anything specifically, but if you had a source for questions (e.g. your course book) I suppose you could just throw them into a flashcard program.

Re: Self-Talk Assistance App
I remember a presentation once where someone said they put tasks into their ANKI SRS deck like: Write down the conjugations of the verb "to go" in French. Or: Say the sentence "Mary had a little lamb" in French past, present, future, and conditional.

It won't be 100% reliable, but you could pose your Qs and As to DeepL - it's impressively accurate.

Re: Self-Talk Assistance App
Thanks all. There seems to be nothing exact out there but some good suggestions. I do have Glossika but the sentences are a bit random and I'm not even needing the target language. Maybe someone will go and build it if they see this
