Begin with your own goal
Explain a conversation you want to handle in Chinese. Review your personal profile and starting plan, then choose when to begin your first five-minute AI lesson.
Meet Elaine and Lee
Elaine is warm and encouraging; Lee is curious and quietly direct. Both are AI practice partners with synthetic voices. Your conversation history and partner memories stay separate.
Review what you actually said
Your conversation notes are prepared after the recording and transcript are ready. They may take time or be limited if parts of the conversation are missing. Text alone cannot prove a pronunciation error.
Choose what carries forward
Learners choose which available lines to save in Saved phrases. With memory enabled, your partner can use supported details from past conversations to help you next time. You can manage memory in Settings and Our notes.
Practice real sentences, not only word lists.
Try a clearer version
Keep the idea and practise a different way to express it.
我想换一种说法。Wǒ xiǎng huàn yì zhǒng shuōfǎ.I would like to say it another way.

Are Elaine and Lee human teachers?

Can Elo remember previous conversations?
With memory enabled, supported details from your recording and transcript can help your partner continue next time. Elaine and Lee keep separate partner memories. You can turn memory off in Settings and manage each partner’s notes in Our notes.
When will my conversation notes be ready?
Conversation notes are prepared after the recording and transcript are ready. They may take time or be limited if parts of the conversation are missing. A completed lesson does not guarantee that every note or recording is available.
Can I check a Mandarin tone before a longer lesson?
Yes. Use Elo’s free Chinese pronunciation checker for one recorded reference sentence. A short check gives practice feedback, not a full proficiency level or official exam score. Text-only conversation notes cannot prove a pronunciation error.
How do I start AI Chinese speaking practice?
Start with a short introduction, review your profile and plan, then try a five-minute AI lesson without an account. New accounts receive 60 free practice minutes. Verify your email to use them; the minutes are valid for 7 days from the first connected signed-in practice conversation. Paid monthly plans are optional.
